Another attempt....

Still trying to figure out the perfect cake, or in this case, cupcake! There's a birthday at work this week, hence the Happy Birthday on the cake plate. What a boring household--I have no candles! UGH! I really wanted to put a candle in the center of this one to make it a little more convincing that it is in fact a cupcake! But, since there are never enough hours in the day, this one got beaded sprinkles again. This one is slightly improved with scent! It has a vanilla bean scent that actually smells like cake! While I'm making one cupcake, I'm thinking of the next. I was thinking today that although these are probably a little silly, they could really come in handy. They're just kind of fun to have around and pull out to make someone's day a little more special. Even better, this cake will never get stale or mold so it can show up birthday after birthday, at the breakfast table, someone's desk at work, or even at your friend's gym locker and then they can pass it on once it has brought them a good day.

Green cupcake wrapper? YES! I am so ready for Spring! It's 10 degrees and there's more snow on the way.....
