Lobsterrama!

Yesterday was the big clambake. Insane amounts of food were served, and everybody had an awesome time.
I made cupcakes to match the theme.LOTS of cupcakes.


Impressive, but actually pretty easy to make. The cupcakes were made from a mix, and the frosting was ready-made Pillsbury Funfetti. (I delegated the task of frosting and sprinkling to Chris, who has an ample attention span and does a better job than I would.) I picked out red muffin papers at the craft store to match the red gummy lobsters which I picked up at Christmas Tree Shops. (My wish for America is that some day, Christmas Tree Shops will be nation-wide chain. It started in New England, and since being acquired by Bed Bath and Beyond, it has been spreading gradually.)

Perhaps more adorable than my cupcakes were the signs my brother Joe made.



(Obviously where the party is.)

P.S.
Here's my post about last year's clambake, and how a traditional New England clambake is done.
