cupcake mania

Sometimes I really don't know how to prioritize. Tomorrow is the first meeting of a little craft group I am getting together, but instead of cleaning my apartment or actually preparing for the craft, I made cupcakes. My rationalization is, if everyone is not having fun, at least there will be something good to eat. Food can make or break a gathering, I say.

I made yellow daisies in honor of Megan - it is her favorite flower (let's be honest - it was also in honor of having yellow food coloring on hand). If Meg wasn't having a sock animal emergency, she might have been here decorating, too.

My apartment got surprisingly hot tonight, so the frosting wasn't cooperating as well as I would have liked. Instead of making a regular frosted rose, I piped them to look like ric rac flowers (one of the many projects on my to-do list). Have you ever seen them?

Megan and Mitzi gave me this cute cupcake tree for Christmas (thanks, guys!). I makes me want to bake cupcakes 24 hours a day.

In other cupcake news, did you know that it is Cupcake Week at Martha Stewart? There is even a Cutest Cupcake Contest on the website.

I'm feeling the cupcake love ... are you?
