7 years ago today, I adopted a little furball the size of a small Cavaillon melon, only with beautiful white and cream fur and a character that earned him his name.
This is Texas.
What happy moments I had with him during those 7 years! I am eagerly waiting for those to come.
So in his honor today, I have created some cat cupcakes.
I had seen cat cupcakes everywhere, and especially at Catsparella, that runs a Cat Cupcake Tuesday series :-)
I wanted to come up with my own cupcakes though: something new, and that would somehow at least look a little like Texas, my kitty. Of course I quickly forgot the part about making a Texas lookalike of a cupcake!
They were quite easy to make but necessitated some time.
I first made a model for what was going to be on top of each cupcake.
What did I use? I used a simple vanilla cupcake recipe (made with yogurt) so cupcakes were simple and light.
As for the decoration…
I used toothpicks to make the wedges stand.
While the kitties had their own stinky treats, we enjoyed a very sugary treat!
I am so glad of the day you came into my life, Texas!

aaaaaaaaaaw that picture of little Texas is too adorable!
I just can’t imagine my life without my wonderful Jay, and now without the crazy little Satchie. Cats are truly the best gift ever. Looking back, I don’t what how I would have made it without my faithful purrying companion, always by my side! :)
