Graduation Cupcakes
The picture above is what the cupcakes should look like. They are totally worth the effort of making them. Yummy! You can read all about my mistakes during my first baking attempt or simply scroll down and print out the recipe. MY First Try: What do you get when you add graduation cupcakes and the Wizard of Oz… “I’m MEL… TING!!!” I goofed again. Twice. Okay maybe three or four times. I had good intentions. I thought I’d add the graduation cap decoration to Arielle’s favorite cupcake. Easy? Well, I made one mistake after the next and by the end of the evening I was snapping away trying to capture…

I’m crazy that way. They both turned out super duper yummy. By the way, did you notice the Valentine’s Day card in the picture?…

Those Incredible Cupcakes
I mentioned in the last post that I spent one evening experimenting with cupcakes. I found Bake it in a Cake and wanted to give one of her recipes a try and add a little creativity of my own. Arielle highly suggested I begin with the Watchamacallit candy bar in the brownie cupcake. It looked like a winner to me. Later that day while I was at the gym I happened to mention to someone that I was planning on making brownie candy bar cupcakes after my rigorous workout. He insisted I try Pay Day candy bars. Nothing quite like discussing chocolate peanut butter awesomeness while on the stairmaster. I…
