Speaking of parties…

Sam went to his first birthday party of the school year this past weekend. Sam is new to this school and when he got the invitation he was really excited to go. I noticed the hours of the party were around lunch time so we called to confirm that lunch was being served and when we found out it was pizza…we got down to work…

I just love Udi’s pizza crusts, not only are they the best GF pizza crusts I have ever had, they are awfully darn convenient and fit perfectly in my pizza box!

First I top the Udi's crust with Ragu or Great Value brand pizza sauce

then with shredded mozzarella cheese and canned mushrooms (do not discard the juice...freeze in an ice cube tray for future condensed mushroom soup!)

I swear this is what everyone loves about my pizza...fresh cut pepperoni, not the super thin presliced stuff, it is amazing the difference in taste)

Growing up in Ohio, a lot of pizza places cut the pizza in squares...I still do that

Into the box it goes

Now for the cupcake…

All the components

"Burping" the icing

I try to "bakery-itize it." A little flair over the traditional spread on with a knife icing

Sam's "Cup-A-Cake" transporter

And off to the party for a great time!

Just one of the gang...sorry if these photos look funny...I tried to crop out the other kiddos whose parents might not appreciate me publicizing them on the web!

A wonderful day with good friends and great GF food!
