Piece de resistance

April is a special month and a big one for birthdays.  My friends Kristina, Jennie, Adam, Julius, as well as my wonderful boyfriend Joel all celebrated their birthdays in the span of a few days.  We had a lovely little party and I knew the cupcakes had to be outstanding to stand up to all this birthday cheer.  A page in the book that had always caught my eye was Van Gough's Starry Night.  I had to complete it over 2 days.

The first day I separated and mixed all the colors, putting them in baggies in the fridge.  The second day I baked the cupcakes and began the artwork.

Happy Birthday!!
