Birthday "Fishes" and {Easy} Cream Cheese Frosting!

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!
