Marie's "Fancy Pants" Vanilla Cupcakes with White Chocolate Chips


Late last week...in our mailbox I found some very nice  presents from our lovely neighbor, Marie, who lives down the street. Twenty-four cupcakes liners...what I'm calling "fancy pants" cupcake liners (by Wilton)...pink, they are! And, very cute cupcake ribbons!


These cupcakes are vanilla with white chocolate chips topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting and/or dark chocolate frosting.


Layla was wishing that a few crumbs would fall on the floor!


The chocolate ones were especially good!



I will definitely use the "fancy pants" cupcake liners again...they are so much fun!

Layla and I hope that you all have a great week!

Next week, a review of a new baking food scale!

Skull and Crossbone Cupcake Tattoos Win CQ Over!


I found a fantastic new product at Michael's last week: The Duff (Ace of Cakes) Goldman Collection that features more than 70 products, including fun decorating supplies like fondant, frosting, baking pans...and wait for it...cake tattoos!!!

That's what the skull and crossbones is from...edible tattoos...you can see that Layla was intrigued!


You can find all of the great "Duff" products at your local Michaels store. Go there. The online version doesn't do it justice!



The tattoos were very easy to work with...you can use them on cakes and cupcakes and templates are provided.

Layla says go there now!!

See you soon!
