Sweets for My Sweet


This is just a very quick post to share the cupcakes I made for my son's birthday treat day at school. I love cupcakes in crafting...stamps, stickers, and paper. But I think that love stems directly from my love of real cupcakes. I mean, who wouldn't love these? :)


The best part about these is that they are fool proof. Follow the directions on the box and you have yourself a tasty treat. One small investment I made last year for my daughter's birthday (less than $10) was a small cake decorating tip set because I made a lot of cupcakes for a cupcake tree. As I did again with these, I took store-bought Betty Crocker frosting, emptied it into a bowl, and using a hand mixer, whipped the frosting for approx. 2-3 minutes. Whipping the frosting makes it a bit lighter and it stretches a bit further.


After the cupcakes cooled completely, I loaded a plastic frosting bag equipped with a decorative tip and swirled away. I also added some sprinkles for some flair.


Yum!
