Cupcakes and Baking

For my birthday, Richard got me this AMAZING book of cupcake creations. It's chock full of neat off-the-wall ideas for making cupcakes that will wow everyone. They truly are works of art. Richard referred to this gift as the "least exciting" of my birthday gifts. However, I spent 15-20 minutes poring over the pages and saying, "WOW!" every few seconds. Needless to say... it was the perfect gift! I bought a bunch of sprinkles, cupcake liners, cake mix and icing recently. If I create anything worth showing, I'll be sure to take pictures and post them.

I also just discovered that they have their own website and a BLOG where other cupcake fanatics can post their creations! This is definitely now a favorite!

They have an American Flag cupcake arrangement, but it requires 96 total cupcakes and a lot of candies to make. I'm considering making this for July 4th, instead. I love Kraftfoods.com and use many of the recipes, so I'm sure it won't disappoint. I don't think we have any plans for the 4th, so maybe I'll just make this and enjoy eating it while waving sparklers left over from our wedding in the air. Who knows?
