Cupcakes Cupcakes Cupcakes!

If I tried to design an event that would make my 4 year old ecstatically happy I could not have done better then the Boise Cupcake Collective! This morning we attended their fundraiser for the Treasure Valley Institute for Children’s Arts. For $5 each plus any donation we wanted to make we enjoyed:

• Our choice of 3 cupcakes each
• Balloon animals
• Old fashioned lemon-aid stand
• Dancing to cool kids music (The type a parent finds themselves bobbing too instead of cringing )
• Magic Tricks
• Beautiful displays of edible art

This was the type of event that could be enjoyed by parents and kids alike. To sum up the kid friendliness of the event half the time the DJ had a very cute 2 year old in his arms. I was especially grateful to the cupcake makers who listed their ingredients so I could safely consume some.

For those who were unable to attend here’s a virtual cupcake tour. Please excuse any camera shake. These were all taken while wearing an electronic happy 11m old and supervising a very cupcake happy 4 year old.

If you enjoyed this virtual tour and live in the Treasure Valley please consider stopping buy http://www.trica.org/ and making a paypal donation. (If you are out of the area feel free to donate too or find a good children’s art group near you.)

Thank you to everyone who created such a fun and wonderful event for parents and kids alike.
