I’d wanted to make and decorate some cupcakes for our party tonight, and found a cute idea here for the butterfly cupcakes on the left. Jillian and I put the babies in their strollers and took a walk to the dollar store to gather the candies we’d need.

Unable to locate the right candies for the wings,  Jillian had the brilliant idea to flatten Starbursts and use my tiny heart cookie cutter. We used a frosting method I learned from my friend Sheena (mix together a can of whipped frosting with a container of Cool Whip), so these cupcakes were a bit of a group effort!

We made 24 cupcakes and a sheet cake.

A day this domestic called for the use of my 50’s era skirt apron.

Siena scooted all over Jillian’s floor while we worked but, luckily for these cupcakes, she can only pivot and go backwards…hasn’t mastered the forward scoot yet!

I sure hope we have some guests tonight to help with all these goodies!
