Crustacean Christmas

Who needs Christmas lights, tinsel and candy canes? When you can have the French Quarter, Seafood and the Bayou! My friend Vicky and her family celebrate a different type of Christmas each year. They choose a country or part of the world they would like to learn about and celebrate their Christmas with those customs including decorations, food and information about each place. What a wonderfully different and interesting way to celebrate with the family!

This year was all about New Orleans and having a Creole Christmas. So she came to me and asked about doing cupcakes that would correspond to the theme. I said, How about a large lobster made of cupcakes? She thought it was perfect, so then Larry the Lobster came to life. Take a look at Larry the Lobster!

He just looks like he's hanging out catching some winter sun....

Isn't he just adorable!

I am so glad Vicky liked him!

Larry the Lobster came from Karen Tack and Alan Richardson's amazing cupcake book, What's New Cupcake! I don't know what I would do without their genius!

So if your in need of something from The Bayou or a centerpiece for a Summer Party, let me know! I'm sure Larry would love to make an appearance!
