Cupcakes
I am a big fan of cupcakes! I have decided to stick with cupcakes for the kiddos birthdays for now and with Charis’s birthday approaching I am trying to think up something fun for a cupcake while sticking with the doggie theme. Last year for Charis’s ladybug themed party the cupcakes just came together when I started decorating and I am hoping for that this year as well. 
I have several thoughts in my mind so I am excited to see how they turn out. I think that I will stick with the same cupcake recipe as it is the tastiest little cupcake that I have found. I am usually a huge fan of the Pillsbury Confetti Cupcakes but they do not come close to touching the Strawberry Cupcakes that a friend shared with us. You use real strawberries in the icing and in the cupcake so you can see why they would be tasty. Here are a few pictures of last years cupcakes as I try to get my creative juices flowing!
The were SO cute…and you’re absolutely right, they were YUMMY!
