For those of you who are\u00a0parents or have young family members, you may be familiar with the show The Backyardigans. For me, I have spent MANY-a-days watching this show whenever I visit my little munchkin cousin Joey. (To the point where I find myself randomly singing or humming songs from\u00a0it\u00a0from time to time haha) It was his 3rd birthday, so as a gift from his\u00a0Auntie Justine, I made a fabulous Backyardigans cupcake tier. \u00a0It was quite a challenge to take on, since I had done my online research of pictures to see how others had made it, and boy were they terrrrrrible! I started to doubt whether I could actually pull it off since even professionals<\/strong> had failed to do so. BUT I had made my committment and it was either that or Yo Gabba Gabba, and the latter was just plain creepy and unacceptable. So I set forth with the challenge.. and totally exceeded my own expectations \"\"<\/p>\n

HANDS DOWN, my greatest achievement!<\/p>\n

(I took these pictures before I got around to cleaning the cornstarch off of them)<\/p>\n

The whole gang! (well, minus Austin)\u00a0A personalized touch – each of the Backyardigans holding the letters of Joey’s name<\/p>\n

I credit Kyle’s dad for building me my cupcake tier to make this possible. It’s\u00a0the perfect platform for a kids party. Great cake on top and no-mess cupcakes to hand out. These were vanilla cupcakes (perhaps I should start forcing others to branch out to different flavors\u00a0haha) filled with a chocolate-cool whip pudding mixture.<\/p>\n

The real things:<\/p>\n
