There's one of those memes going around the internet. Maybe you have seen it? It's the one that looks like a screen shot of a twitter post where Meryl Streep was told that she was "too ugly" to be cast in King Kong.

So, unless she's acting in this clip, I guess it's true.
May we all find the courage to follow our dreams.
Hope you have a great day.

Best,
Mari

Tasty Recipe: Fourth of July Flag Cupcake Cake

Really cute idea for your Fourth of July party!
If you have more mouths to feed, just multiply the cupcakes.

Thanks to Sweet Art by Elizabeth in Canada for the fun video.

Elizabeth makes some really cute High Heel cupcakes and she's got a fun idea if you are having a movie theme night - cupcakes that look like little popcorn buckets.
