Pot O' Gold Cupcakes

I set out to make the cupcakes. Only to discover I had no cake mix in the house. Well I did have lemon and carrot cake mix, but those two flavors didn't sound right to go with chocolate.

I searched online for a recipe. I came across this one, but had to change it to fit my needs more. Here's the recipe I ended up with:

Preheat at 350 degrees. It takes 30 to 40 minutes to bake.

I really wanted to attempt to make Pot O' Gold Cupcakes. I thought a Reese's Peanut Butter cup would make a great pot. Then I added a dab of chocolate frosting and added mini yellow m&ms for the gold.

The best things were that they were easy to make! My preschooler Isaak helped me.

Didn't they turn out cute?

Today I Made Heart Cupcakes

I took in my 2 nephews a lot this weekend. I wanted to make something Valentines{ish}. Since public schools do not allow homemade treats, I made them for the smaller boy's private preschool.

We decided to make Red Velvet Heart Cupcakes.

We piped in cream cheese frosting. Then we added chocolate frosting with a single chocolate chip. Each boy got to have one for a snack and there are plenty still for preschool. Win, win for everyone!
