Tonight we participated in a bake off with the home school group. Bella made vanilla cupcakes from scratch and got the idea to decorate them like popcorn, from our "Hello Cupcake" book. She did most of the preparation herself. Joe Bug on the other hand, made my Apple Cheese Crumble Pie. I helped him out a lot. The recipe for the pie is on the bottom of the page.
Guess who got a ribbon? Joe Bug! Needless to say, Bella was upset!
Here's pics of each, I know the Apple Pie pic is horrible. Wish I had taken one at home. :(

I love the idea of a homeschool group bake-off! It looks like both of your children did a great job.
I just wanted to say hi. I've seen your comments on Stacy's blog, so I came here to visit yours. I especially loved your description of your town and your joke about Fargo! I lived in ND for a few years and I could definitely relate to the description of your town. ND is a place like no other! :)
