I hope you had a day filled with happiness! Church this morning was wonderful. Honestly, when I got there I was a little grumpy and didn't have a good "listening" attitude. After about 10 minutes into the talks I started feeling that they were all for me! When I got to my 2nd hour of church, which is Gospel Principles for me, we had a GREAT lesson on the Life of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to have a perfect example to try and follow. I have so many things that I need to work on but as long as I am striving to do what my Savior would do then it will all be okay. I know that I am not perfect and will never be.
Okay, enough churchy stuff! LOL! It was just a REALLY good church Sunday! After church we came home and I decided to make some super yummy cupcakes for some new families in our Ward and some other new friends. I have added the recipe below and some pics.

Made these!! Halved the recipe and used cream cheese frosting and marshmallows on top...Yummy! :)
Can you post your icing recipe? They look wonderful, I have new neighbors and would love to make them for a welcome to the neighborhood gift. Thanks for sharing!
What was the recipe you used for the frosting? My frosting always turns out too runny or too stiff. I can enjoy a good cupcake without frosting but I would love to make better frosting for my husbands' sake!! I figured it was worth asking...
oh my days..these look scrummy....good job!
Where do you get the adorable cupcake holder containers??
