~Oscar Night and Simple & Sweet Fridays #52~

Stan and I were invited to a good friend's Oscar Party.
I thought it would be fun to bring some cupcakes.
A little silver and white edible glitter
 to make the cupcakes sparkle.
Let Us Eat Cake!
It went with the Oscar Theme.
My mother gave this mink to me on my 40th birthday.
She loved watching the Oscars and we would always talk afterwards
 about all the stars and what they were wearing.
Maybe that's why I love the Awards. Watching all the old actors,
 Audrey Hepburn, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant loved them all. 
We had a wonderful night with our friends!


Happy Thursday everyone!

    I love Oscars, although at times it gets so boring...way too long! Anyway, my dad loved watching Oscars and I do remember some of the vintage glamourous actors and actresses and beautiful looking, with all the glitter too! Your cupcakes look so pretty and yummy! I gave sweets up for Lent, so I can just look and don't touch, lol Thank you for hosting this fun partay!!

    Your Oscar cupcakes are too pretty to eat! (well maybe just one!). I enjoy the Oscars and the fashions and the general craziness. I thought Seth did a good job. Happy to be able to bring a dish to your party this week, not fancy though. xo

    Hi Jody and Stan,

    You look very glamorous in the mink and looks like you could have walked down the red carpet.
    The cupcakes look delicious and must have been a fun party.
    Aren't some of the old movies wonderful, and the stars like Audrey and Grace.

    Happy weekend
    hugs
