Springtime cupcakes

First, let me remind you, I am not good at decorating my cupcakes. And I know it. I do not have an artistic bone in my body and am not very creative. That's why I rely on my friend Brenda for all that! But I saw the cutest picture of a cupcake with a nest and little eggs on it. It looked easy enough! So I gave it a try.....FAIL. But they taste great!!!!! I baked up some burnt sugar candy bar cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Mmmmmm.... I put some chunks of Snickers bar in half of them and they taste just like a candy bar! Defiitely made up for how silly they look...

Dora birthday cupcakes

This past weekend I got to help my friend, Bethany, bake the cupcakes for her daughters Dora themed 3rd birthday party. I had so much fun spending the evening with my friend, and we created the cutest and tastiest cupcakes for her little girl!
We made PINK VELVET WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

LEMON WITH LEMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

And CHOCOLATE OREO WITH COOKIES & CREAM FROSTING:

We used a giant cupcake pan to make Madison's cake. TOP HALF WAS PINK VELVET AND BOTTOM WAS CHOCOLATE OREO. Turned out awesome!!:

Thanks SO much to Bethany for letting me play in your kitchen and letting me be a part of Madison's beautiful birthday party! (And for taking so many great pictures of them for me to use here on my blog!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADISON!!!!

Elvis cupcakes

Our fabulous neighbors across the culdesac gave their basketball hoop to our boys the other day. What better way to thank them than with cupcakes?! I had some Hershey's kisses in the fridge so I used them up in this fun Elvis cupcake. Elvis's favorite sandwich was peanut butter and banana with chocolate. So I made a banana cupcake with a Hershey kiss core and peanut butter frosting.

My neighbor said it was the best cupcake he had ever had! Awww that made my day!!
