Cupcakes!

I have ventured in the baking world in the hopes that when my kids start having birthday parties I am the "cool mom" that makes neat cakes and cupcakes. I know silly but still. And its not the only reason, I just really want to be good at making cakes.

So, my mom got me this great cupcake book for my birthday.We hosted a birthday bash Saturday for a close friend. I tried my hand at one of the cupcake designs in my new book. The cake was devil's food cake, and I made 6 of the slumber party cupcakes and the rest with chocolate ganache. Everything was delicious. Holden probably still won't think I'm the "cool mom" but maybe his childhood friends will.

Those cupcakes look gorgeous! I take it Holden had no impact from eating eggs in it? I gave Cameron some Gerber Mac N Cheese and it had eggs too. So far so good!

no reaction to the eggs so hopefully we are in the clear for eggs.
