Cute Cupcakes !

I made Chocolate Cupcakes last night and this morning Ashley decorated a few of them with a cake decorating set she got a while back. Aren't they just too cute ?!?

Pretty Pink roses....



She did a really good job on these I think ! We learned how to make roses last year when Kate was working at a Bakery and I helped with Cooking classes. You first put a gumdrop on a tooth pick and then ice petals onto it. you then take the gumdrop and put it on the cake or whatever it is you are making. :)

Worlds Best Chocolate Chocolate chip Cupcakes <3

Here is one of my favorite recipes to make ! It's quick and very simple.

Sometimes I make it with the Cream cheese topping and then other time I leave it off. :)

With out the topping it becomes egg and dairy free ! ;-)
