Happy Birthday!

The other day was my Mom’s birthday.

I blogged about cake.

You can revisit that post here.

Today is my Mother-in-Law’s birthday.

Mother-in-Law is not an appropriate title for her.

I heard someone use the term Mother-in-Love.

That’s so much more more fitting.

I hope you have a good birthday, Mom!

Soap Cupcakes

All the cupcakes pictured are soap cupcakes.

They look and smell great.

Just don't take a bite.

You might be disappointed.

A Soaper's Version of April Fool's

It comes every year.  Same day every time.  It’s the day that practical jokes are acceptable, even encouraged.

Here are a few ideas for April Fool’s soap jokes.  They look and smell like the real thing.  Think you can get someone to take a bite?

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Smoothie on a Stick

Corn on the Cob

Rock Candy

 

Funny story.  My kitchen counters are generally covered with soap projects (that’s a topic for another blog some day).  Much like the top photo.  My family knows to beware of any item that looks and smells like food because it’s probably soap.

One weekend I made some delicious and peanut butter cup brownies. I found the recipe on Pinterest. 

When one of our kids (she’s a grown up but still our kid) was ready to take a bite, my husband said “Wait! That’s soap!” He is so used to the counter being covered in soap that he doesn’t get his hopes up that something might be real food. As the adult child took a bite, she assured her father that it was indeed real food. I still don't know whether he was serious or kidding when he told her it was soap. 

Of course that got me thinking about how to make peanut butter cup brownie soaps. Alas, the thinking stage is as far as that project has gotten.

Happy April Fool's Day, and Thanks for Reading!
