I have decided to try a bunch of new cupcake recipes. As I am sure you have noticed I love sweets and I love cupcakes. I love to make them look pretty too! Here is a recipe I just tried from Martha Stewart. These were so delicious but don’t last very long so it is best to make them the day of or before an event and serve them all at once. A little time consuming but very worth it!
Also I got the cupcake liner from shopsweetlulu.com. They are special liners that the dough doesn’t go through so that stay nice and bright even after baking. This site is wonderful for all kinds of party supplies, Im addicted.
