Aug. 15th, 2011 12:23 amThen dropped by my mom's house and I showed her Tosca and the two brand new chicks that Miranda (serama hen) hatched the other day.
Then we decided to have a My Little Pony-themed cupcake party, so we went off to Safeway and bought a bunch of cupcake mix and sprinkles, and we even found My Little Pony fruit snacks! Our cupcake wrappers had crowns on them, we got funfetti and strawberry mix, six different types of sprinkles, and one white frosting and one pink frosting. Then we opened up my five pony figures and proceeded to make cupcakes while the soundtrack played in the background and we looked at pony pictures while the cupcakes were baking. Tons of fun decorating them--they each got a pony gummy on top and themed sprinkles and some even got crowns.
It was awesomely fun. :D


Cute Pinkie with car that we wanted!

I might buy one of these kids' shirts...for Honey the corgi!
Awesome Princess Celestia thing that I requested. Let's hope I get a call on it whenever they take it down!



Squeed loudly when we found those gummies.




Sprinkles were perfectly themed for the ponies!

Culling the gummies for quality. The ugly ones were eaten, the pretty ones got to go on the cupcakes.

Pinkie was the inspiration for the party, so she got a disproportionate amount of pictures taken:

Pinkie and her themed cupcake:



We didn't have figures of all of the main six, but we made cupcakes for each of them! From left to right, it's: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity.


We had a messed-up one that we called Derpy Hooves, I forgot to save the pic of that one, though. XD


Thirty-four cupcakes in all, yeahhhh!

Today we volunteered for the Food Bank (where she works) for a few hours at the county fair, but ultimately decided we didn't want to go in the fair itself and sold our free tickets for cheaper than door price and went and got frozen yogurt. Then I came home and slept most of the rest of the day. I guess I was tired?
EDIT: Uploading pictures to Photobucket so you can all appreciate them!

Date: 2011-08-15 07:39 am (UTC)Btw, Charles and I will be taking a trip up to San Fran this coming weekend and I was wondering if we could meet you. :3 We plan on starting our trip Thursday afternoon. We're not sure if we're gonna spend the night in Solvang or just spend a few hours resting there. But I can let you know, so you know when we'd be arriving up in San Fran. It would also help to know what places to visit, since we've never been there before. :)
OH! And if we do meet, I have an extra MLP: FiM gift set (the one with the book and the ponies that look accurate) that I could sell you. ;) Only $13.

Date: 2011-08-15 08:33 am (UTC)Oh, how fun! San Francisco is great. The best part is Japantown! Tons of Pokémon stuff there, it's amazing. I don't think I can afford the gas to drive down there this weekend (gas alone would be about $50 round trip), but if you want to drive another three hours and come stay here (even more than one night if you want) you'd totally be welcome! I wish I could afford to come hang out in San Francisco with you, but gas is expensive and I hardly have anything left in my account. ;;
I have that gift set, actually, but thanks for offering!

Date: 2011-08-16 05:48 am (UTC)Haha, yeah, we're mostly looking forward to Japantown. ;D A coworker of mine said that it's pretty epic. More epic than Little Tokyo, so I'm looking forward to this.
;__; Oh well. I doubt we'd have time to drive an extra three hours up north. D: Yeah, gas is expensive, which is why we're renting a car. Newer, more gas efficient cars take up so much less gas. I'm in love with Yaris and would love one in the future if/when i can afford it.
Now that I have a job, I am planning on attending Fanime. :) If all goes well, perhaps next year. So we could hangout then. ^_^
