Prelude to the Cupcake Party

Ah, the day is finally almost here! Tomorrow is Bake-N-Blog day! Yup, that means I’ll finally keep mum and stop bugging you all to make cupcakes. By the way, I practically had to strap restraints on to keep myself away from my cupcakes (#25)—they taste like heaven, but more on that tomorrow! 

Don’t forget, those who link their cupcakes (blog) back here tomorrow will be entered to win a cupcake book (“Hello, Cupcake) and some cupcake frills from Dill Pickle Picnic! Want in? There’s still time! And even if a cupcake looks daunting, it may be pretty simple to make. I had all the ingredients in my pantry and whipped them up in less than a half hour!
