My friend Brandy (aka Brains) reaaally wanted to go to the beach for her birthday this year. It didn’t quite work out, so at the last minute we decided to bring the beach to her. Everyone is sick of the winter weather, so why not play dress up and pretend that summer has already arrived? I’ve posted some of my favorite photos below, but the rest (all 68 of ’em) can be viewed on Flickr.

After seeing this blog post, I was inspired to put my own twist on “cupcake sandwiches.” Behold the hamburger cupcake!

Party’s over.
