Sometimes good things come in three's!  The first are these delicious, decadent cupcakes.  If you like sweet, you are going to love these.  Brownie, carmel and seasalt.  A carmel kiss surprise inside {recipe on pinterest|

Chocolate chip cookies with a surprise inside!

Oreo's...it's like eating 3 cookies at once, yum!

Zinnia's and a quilt, rocker on porch!

Enjoy every moment, each is a gift from Him!  Praise God for blessing after blessing.

Cupcake toppers

Cupcakes...toppers, have you seen them. At the crafts stores and grocery stores, they sell all these cute toppers to match the liners. I decided to make some of my own. Easy....Use your craft punches or your die cuts, make two and use your desired adhesive...I used the glue dots because they are quick and non messy {although a little on the expensive side} and a few toothpicks and there you go, instant decorations. You can make them in any color solids or decorative papers, I'm trying to use up my scrap bin of paper for these.

I even used some glitter paper and put a little bling rhinestone on a few...the possibilities are endless....I can't wait for my kids birthday this weekend todecorate theirs, I have a few more ideas.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Yum...red velvet cupcakes.  I made these on the weekend for my daughter...we came home and they just so happened to be being featured on the food channgel on TV, funny coincidence that made it all the more fun to enjoy these.  I found a great country store that sells some of this mix that I picked up before Christmas.  The cream cheese frosting is very rich, I made the oversized cupcakes for the first time and oh my they are sinful, but oh so good to eat.  It seems like cupcakes are such a rage now everywhere you look books, tv, blog, decorating them...they have really become such a celebrity....

So tell me have you made any celebrity cupcakes lately?  Are you make mini's, normal or extra large or one huge giant?  Are you making them for special occasions or just to make any day a special occasion?  What new type of cupcake or themed decorations are you trying?

Here's one site to check out, you are porbably all familiar with the name. http://www.wilton.com/cupcakes/
