Bootiful Cupcakes-Mommy of Many Style

Weeks ago Tristan saw these cupcakes and decided he wanted them for his class. He told his teacher about them. He wrote out the ingredients and directions on a separate piece of paper and carried it around in his pocket. He reminded me time and time again about them. Finally, on Monday, he started asking when we were going to go buy everything so that we could make them and have them delivered to his class by today. In true Mommy of Many fashion, I left it until last night. Well, last night was a wonderful night full of fellowship and fun. We had several young adults show up at our door with dinner, a soccer ball and listening ears for the kids. This meant that we enjoyed company and games until about an hour after the kid’s bedtime. THEN it was time for me to think about making cupcakes. Yikes!

I looked at the recipe (yes, for the first time) and realized that it called for me to melt white chocolate and mold it into ghosts, using chocolate sprinkles for eyes. Uh….

So, I decided to make the cupcakes and worry about the decor this morning. I woke and got going. I ran to my local drug store in search of ghosts. I know, I was definitely pushing my luck! But look….

I didn’t have orange frosting, but I DID have orange sprinkles, so I dipped each vanilla frosted cupcake into the orange sprinkles and topped it with a gummy ghost. Voila!

There’s nothing like a little improv to keep things going!

Have a BOOtiful day~
