birthday cooking!

I felt a little like Betty Crocker last night! I made the cutest cupcakes last night for Tripp to take to school today for his birthday. I saw these months ago online on a blog and wanted to try them out. I was pretty impressed with the way they turned out!

Cute little monkey faces!!

Just take a whole nilla wafer and cut the top off and then take the mini nilla wafer and cut in half for the ears. Use black and red icing for the eyes, nose and mouth. Easy and cute and fun!! I also made another cake to have tonight. Nothing too fancy...

Tripp loves cake and I hope he'll enjoy this one! My mom always made cakes for us when we were little and I really enjoyed making these last night for Tripp. I can't wait for him to blow out his candles!! He will be loaded with sugar after his cupcake at school and then cake tonight, but that's okay because it's his birthday! :)
