happy (almost) Valentine's day!

Maisie's daycare is having a Valentine's Day party tomorrow, so tonight we made cupcakes!

It was a pretty easy process as cupcakes go - we used a boxed mix, instead of making them from scratch. Aaron added the ingredients while Maisie mixed, then she put the paper cups in the muffin tin and I filled them. After they baked and cooled, I frosted them, and then she decorated them with sprinkles.

The box said it made 24 cupcakes but it was wrong, or else perhaps our cupcakes were larger than intended. Anyway, we only got 16 cupcakes! And we need 15 to send to daycare. We let Maisie eat the one extra, like the selfless, giving parents that we are. But there's still a lot of frosting left, and she's in bed, and Aaron is out of the house, spending time with friends tonight. Now I just need to find something to put it on...

Echoing the salty- I was talking with a friend about pregnancy cravings, and she mentioned that she craved ruffles with ridges dipped in icing during her second pregnancy. Might be worth a try! :)
