The most awesome baker on the block, I'd say!

But seriously, my mouth started watering when I saw the picture and didn't even know what they were. I have to bake me up some of these.

Ooh,that's a cute idea :D A little bit of red/pink food coloring in the batter & some sprinkles would be adorable~♥

Thank you! :D That super cute plate also has the added bonus of covering up the countertop stained from all of my sister's Kool-Aid spills! xD

hi.
i have been a member of this community for over a year and haven't posted or tried any of the recipes... but for some reason, i decided to make these cupcakes today. i haven't baked a cake from scratch in like 15 years and guess what! They turned out great! I had some friends try them and they graded them an A+!
Thanks for the awesome recipe!
