Shopping for Whitney's Birthday Cupcake/Ice Skating Party 3/7/08

For Whitney’s 21st Birthday party, we did a little shopping at UVillage for Birthday Cupcake/Ice Skating supplies. First stop, The Confectionary. Whitney, showing off her Birthday Cupcake Headdress. Too bad it was so overpriced; I would have bought it and made her wear it ice skating. Did you notice the little cupcake on top? It would have been too perfect for the party! :D So, after wandering around the store for about 20 minutes, I decided that I want to have a date take me to The Confectionary. It would be so much fun, picking out candy, looking at all their knickknack candy things, and (my favorite part of the store) salivating over the amazing chocolates that they have. After picking out some beautiful ribbon candy, some purple and as Whitney described “Caribbean Blue” (teal) candy covered chocolates, we headed off to our next destination-Mrs. Cooks.
Mrs. Cooks is a very amusing store (Somehow along the way we renamed the store to Mrs. Pots-don't ask) if you haven’t been in there, you should. We found a really lovely cupcake rack, which would have been perfect for the party, but it was 40 dollars and we couldn't rationalize spending that much. Isn't it adorable, though?After picking out paper cupcake holders, frosting dyes (purple and teal), some cute “domestically disabled” mugs, and four purse sized cocktail forks (for emergency forkage of faces, obviously), we found a section of silicon oven mitts.I named this picture "Attack of the Lobster Lady!". I think maybe at this point the ladies that worked there might have been slightly annoyed by us (and the fact that we had been in there for over an hour and hadn’t bought anything yet) but if they didn’t want people to linger, they shouldn’t put such amusing things in their store! :D
