Caught in a Bad Romance

When a friend requested me to made these cupcakes, I had to watch all her music videos, Google all her attire and listen to her songs every day...I was never a big fan of her but now I definitely am :)

Love the way she used empty Diet Coke cans as hair curler, talking of environment friendly, she sure does know how to "reuse" those cans...well, I think the inner roll of toilet roll can be used in such a way too, haha

Can you guess these cupcakes were from which of LADY GAGA's video?

Happy Mother's Day

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

Happy Mother's Day to all the great mums out there...
