Cupcakes for Preschool!

a few weeks ago Rowan helped me to make her cupcakes that we brought for her special birthday at school!

 

 

sometimes i just can't even handle how cute she is.

 

seriously though.

 

being a goober. :)

 

i saw this idea on pinterest.

cupcakes with mini cupcakes (peanut butter cups) on top.

rowan absolutely loved them.

 

rustic chocolate cake & peanut butter frosting

those were for us at home.. yum.

Glimpse of life

Bubba and Rowan digging at the park.

i love my Skeeter.

 

rowan made and decorated her own cupcakes.

of course there was a sprinkle overload.

her love of sprinkles just warms my heart.

this is a mix that was inspired from pinterest.

chex cereal stirred into some melted almond bark and then sprinkled with

 marshmallows, m&m's and valentines sprinkles.

 

this project was spurred on from my hubby complaining about all of stuff in the garage. all of my pending project. i've been wanting to make this for over a year now and just got around to it.

forgive the horrible picture.

i just painted the bottom half with chalkboard paint. about a million coats.

tacked up some bakers twine.

glued on heart ribbon to clothespins.

 

i love it. :)

Cupcakes

 i love to bake.

i especially love cupcakes. love. love. love them. there is just something about them. i've had an obsession with them for many years now. don't they just make you happy?

if i had the money time energy to bake, then i would bake every day.

 

 

 

I made these for new years' eve.
