big weekend coming up!

i know i should wait to post about this until after it's done but i'm just so excited i want to write about it. saturday is the crawfish boil and i'm baking a couple different things to take. the crawfish boil is something that my friends' parents host every year on holy saturday and it is one of the best days of the year. i am finally going to make the tie-dyed cupcakes from a little betty crocker booklet i got at the grocery store a while back. i thought they looked spring-y and therefore easter-y. i am also going to make soft sugar cookies for my rainbow chip frosting sandwiches. at first i thought i might end up with a huge amount of leftovers but upon looking at the rsvp list and seeing that there are an estimated 100 people attending, i think it will all get eaten.

a couple nights ago my mom asked me what i was baking for this weekend so i told her about the above plans. then she said, "what about easter?" i forgot about easter dinner. i quickly decided on a carrot cake (carrots, bunnies, easter...you get it) and upon perusing the internet i decided to do a carrot bundt cake with a cream cheese glaze. i am very excited to make my first carrot cake and even more excited to load it up with plump golden raisins. all of my life i have found golden raisins to be far superior to regular raisins a i simply do not understand why more people don't bake with them.

i can't wait to share my experience with this 3 projects with you!
