Today's is ARAY's (aka Autumn) 30th birthday! And, unfortunately, she won't be able to eat these lovely cupcakes made in her honor because she has moved to OHIO...does Ohio have a primary?...and because she cannot eat salt...I would have made her something different if she was right here...no kidding...even tho I'm against changing the chemistry of the tried and true cupcake!
I made these cupcakes from the Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's....it the White Cake Mix ($11.99) and it makes 28 cupcakes....and I must tell you that it is amazing! If you want to check it out: this is the link.
Then I made Martha's "fluffy vanilla buttercream" frosting...recipe of which is on the box. OMG! It is just about the best thing since sliced bread. I know that even ARAY would have to have a bite of one of these cupcakes!
Don't worry...these babies won't go to waste...my daughter, Catherine, is taking them to an AIGA meeting tonight. She said all the designers love homemade treats! They may even sing Happy Birthday to Autumn.
Layla, who got a little bite of the frosting because she's the best sous chef I've got, is wishing ARAY a Happy Birthday, too.
Happy Birthday, ARAY....and we miss you!
Rock on, CQ!

Aw CQ, that's so sweet of you. I hope Aray comes to the page.
These are so gorgeous! I'm going to have to try them out soon...
That sparkly sprinkled swirl looks fantastic!
Hi!
I'm from Sweden and have never made/eaten or seen cupcakes.
I'm a housewife starting now, and I was hoping to catch up on my baking but there are no good books here, and people here just don't bake.
So I was wondering if you could maybe find it in your heart to give me a "starters" recipe (don't know the spelling there).
It would meen the world to me!
