Birthdays all around

Thursday was my mom's 50th birthday and my dog Weetzie's 2nd, so I took a two-day trip to my parent's house and had a joint party for them! I made my mom's favorite fudgey chocolate cake and dog-friendly cupcakes for Weetzie to share with our parent's dogs Jasper and Gizmo.

This was my party dress:


I thrifted it a while ago and took it in about a billion sizes. As far as outfits go I know it's pretty boring, but it was super humid and I hardly ever dress up very much when I travel. I'll get a better picture of this dress some other time because it really is fantastic! I was convinced while I was altering it that those were sitars printed all over the dress, which made me think of George Harrison, which made me call this my George dress. But then I realized they were lutes. That should tell you how much I know about musical instruments.



Peanut Butter Doggy Delight Cupcakes

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/3 c. honey
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 c. peanut butter
• 1/4 c. vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded carrots (2)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 12 oz. cream cheese
• 2 tsp honey
  

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix everything together. Bake for 25-30 minutes. ^_^



I was afraid the cream cheese might cause some tummy upsets among the group, but everything was fine and they loved them. If you want to see more of Weetzie, I'm about to upload some new photos to my Flickr!
