I am truly blessed to have wonderful friends. Two of my favorite girlfriends, Drea and Ife, share the same birthday month. Among all my friends, these two women are the hardest to give gifts to. They are both accomplished in their career, have more than enough of everything (yes, you guys do!) and they know exactly what they want in everything (can you say Alpha Females??). So what to give them for their birthday?? That was my dilemma when I went to bed Wednesday night. I woke up to an extra beautiful Thursday morning. I looked out the window to appreciate the beauty of the morning and behold! My organic rose plant holds a lone flower! Very seldom do I get a flower from this plant, no matter how much I sing or talk to it to encourage it to bloom (somebody told me that). Anyway, I thought it would be cool to preserve the beauty of this lone rose, thus I should crystallize it and use it for cake decoration. Then I had an AHA moment! Yes, I am making rose cupcakes for Drea and Ife’s birthday!
