Last week was the week of a million cupcakes!
I think by week's end I was up to 10 dozen, that 's a lot of cupcakes...these were my favorites of the collection.My "summer birthday" gal was celebrating her special day and wanted fish cupcakes.
Thanks to circus peanuts, peanut butter and mini m&m's, and apple jacks we ended up with two dozen little swimmers!(Decorating Ideas via "What's New, Cupcake?")I added a little flag to each cupcake that read "Happy Birthday Fishes Ashlyn!"They went over very well, went together pretty quick, and caused me to find a great "faux" cream cheese frosting. I was in a bit of a hurry and realized I was out of powdered sugar to finish the frosting-no time to hit the store. I did have a can of this...
I'd heard that if you add a tsp of vanilla to a can of frosting it helps it to taste not so out-of-a-can.
So I added 2 and a brick of cream cheese, whipped it all together and WOW!
It was good! Super creamy with just that little bite that cream cheese frosting has.
I may never make the real stuff again!
Hope your week is off to a great start, happy munching!
Thanks to those of you that have shared your recipes! We've had so much fun trying them, I've even shared a few with my friends-they think you're all geniuses!!!!
