I've had a very interesting week that I can't tell you about yet...lots of interesting things are happening but I can't discuss them yet...but they could be really cool!
So, back to cupcakes...May 5th is my Mom's birthday...Happy Early Birthday, Ma!
These cupcakes are for the Kentucky Derby. They are from the new Cupcakes Galore book. The frosting is different than any I've made before but was fun to do, and in the end, worked out well. The frosting has Mint Julep in it and the cupcake recipe called for bourbon! Wee Doggies...it's going to be some party...I mean race!
Go Horses!

Lemon-ee Kite-Flying Cupcakes for a Spring Day
Spring has finally come to the Washington area...Yippee...it must be time to fly kites!

I picked up the little kite flying characters at the local hobby store.
If you live in the DC area, be sure to visit the University of Maryland's Maryland Day this coming Saturday...free activities and events...10-4...rain or shine...it's a blast!
Rock on!

"My Peeps" Easter Cupcakes 2009
I absolutely love peeps....don't you? But I really love stale peeps the best!
So, I decided to have more fun this year with peeps. I made vanilla cupcakes from a cake mix...I followed the directions on the box, and added 1 cup of sour cream and a cup of white chocolate chips.
I made vanilla frosting and just started decorating and I had so much fun! 
Layla agreed to pretend to be the Easter Bunny...and she almost ate the bunny in front on her!
BTW: I just wanted to give a shout out today...April 12...to THE AIDEN...Today is Aiden's birthday...he is two years old...he's the little guy in the middle between his mom and dad who just returned home. Aiden lives in Spokane, Washington...if you see him today make sure he's having a happy birthday...and give him a big kiss for CQ!
Have a great week....CQ
