It's May 25th and the weather is finally looking and feeling like spring! A long and bitter winter has passed and the tulips are in their glow and glory... Yipeeeeeee.

This was tonight’s sunset while out walking the dog with my kid. Usually more of the kids are with me, so it was a rare occasion to just have time with him alone. The view left me feeling connected with nature as well as with my son. Sometimes the universe arranges certain moments just right.

Well, at least in the botanical garden. They have a great collection of early spring flowers that are planted on an optimal place, hence springtime.

Spring is here!

I was originally calling these Easter cupcakes rather than springtime, but they don't have much to them specific to Easter... they're more generalized springtime in the theme. Either way, they're bright and festive... and tasty! The cupcakes are lavender white zinfandel (vanilla cupcakes with white zinfandel jelly and whole bits of dried lavender in the batter), topped with a meringue buttercream. I believe this buttercream is the "Italian" style. It's the first time I've made anything other than "normal" buttercream and I have to say I like this one much better... it tastes lighter and smoother and is just the right amount of sweet for me. Plus, it's very easy to work with and holds up well at room temperature.

For the flowers, I took a package of rainbow Twizzlers and cut them into cross-sections, then stuck them on florist wire into the meringue grass. Jelly Belly eggs are also scattered about.

strange how scanned film (or polaroids) sometimes linger in my files for months or yers and then suddenly, one day, feel like the right thing...

Springtime explosion

Dai che piano piano la primavera sta esplodendo... e ritornano i cieli blu.
