I want to make Valentines Day cupcakes for a few friends and neighbors of mine this year. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to need to buy a muffin tin or not. I think I will make a practice round this way - Will the cupcakes be O.K. if I just put them into the paper cups and line them up in a metal casserole dish? I can give the practice round to my mom and dad so hubby and i don't get stuck with a bunch of cupcakes, ha ha ha! I think my siblings would enjoy them, even if they come out awkward looking. Anyway, let's see how much this project is going to cost me:
Pillsbury Valentines Funfetti Cake Mix [makes about 16] - $1.15
Valentines Paper cake cups (40) - $1.001 package of large Sweetheart candy hearts (8oz-about 70 hearts) - $1.00
16oz frosting - $1.65

Total $4.80
So about $5. Not bad! I already knew what I wanted them to look like so I went to Google, thinking maybe I could find a picture to remember by, but it just crashed my server so I can't show you. I'm sorry. I will definitely show pictures of my finished product. Look for it the day after Valentines Day, [the 15th].
Today I had the coolest afternoon. I have become pleasantly acquainted with a lady at church that crochets. We have been trying to get together for a lesson for a few weeks now, and today it finally happened. She made the most adorable blankets and baby beanies for the twins!
Now, my project is to make more of the adorable little beanies to match their outfits. This is what I have so far -
I think I am doing newborn -6 months size. [She also makes the most delicious fresh bread!]
Tonight for dinner I am making black bean mash and cheese burritos. In corn tortillas, because that is what my husband likes.
