Happy Birthday Nicky!

We celebrated this little love's birthday this past weekend.

He looked a little different at his party, though.  You know - the way you're supposed to look at your first birthday party.

My sister-in-law asked me to make cupcakes for all the kids who would be there.  She gave me the freedom to choose what I wanted to make, but as soon as she told me she was doing a primary color theme, I knew exactly what I'd be baking.

Yep...the famous rainbow cupcakes.  What else screams "birthday" and "bright colors"?

I saw a few recipes online but went with this one from The Girl Who Ate Everything.  I used the cake recipe and the frosting recipe, too...both were terrific.  I threw some Skittles on top, for good measure.

My brother wanted every kid there to have a chance to blow out their own candle...

Super messy to make, but definitely worth it - so pretty!

Happy birthday to my adorable nephew.  Keep on rockin', buddy!  Love, Aunt Miss.
