One of my closest friends, J, is moving to Indonesia this week. A couple of my favorite memories with her are bake-offs and cupcake decorating parties, so I knew that I wanted to bake her something for her goodbye party. This is what I came up with.
J has wonderfully curly hair, so I started with that. Did any of you read the Ramona Quimby books as a kid? Do you remember the scene in which Ramona was so tempted to tug on one Susan's perfect ringlets, just to see how it would bounce back? J has those perfect ringlets. Unlike the confused mix of waves and frizz that is my hair, she has the deep curls that every girl dreams of! Second, J is always smiling, so I decided to try to portray her many smiles and faces (the pirate one has no real meaning, it just sneaked its way in there).
Wishing J the best of luck in her new adventures! Can't wait to hear all about it!
This was the best surprise!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to try more of your amazing desserts when I get back to the USA--No oven here, so I will have to wait for homemade cookies and cupcakes!
Yes, when you move back, you need to stop in SF before you move to Portland, and we will have a whatever-time-of-year-it-is Christmas cookie bake-off and cupcake decorating party! I have no one to do this type of stuff with since you left, so desperately awaiting your return to the West Coast!
