A Princess, a Frog, and a Cupcake

Thanks for the kind and supportive words today! Just wanted to let you know that the day finished a lot better than it started. Both my lovies had a fabulous time at the party, and when I saw them in their costumes, soooo excited, it reminded me why I drive myself half-mad with make-work projects like cupcakes.

btw - should anyone else out there be faced with making treaties for your children and their peers, try my new discovery: I used a vanilla cake mix, but since I didn't have much milk in the fridge I used orange juice for the liquid in both the cake and the icing (1 c. butter, 3 1/2 c. icing sugar, 1-4 tbsps o.j. and 1 tsp. vanilla) and they were yummy yummy. Couldn't figure out what they tasted like at first and then it hit me: Creamsicles. Creamsicle cupcakes.
