cutest. cupcakes. ever.

this week is our scout pack's blue and gold banquet. and today was a test run of our entry into the baker's competition. if i remember correctly, we forget every year to pick a winner. and that is because we have dozens of young boys running wild for two or more hours. it gets lost in the mix. or maybe they do announce winners, and i never notice. yes. that is most likely the case.

this year i will try to notice. because this year we have the cutest cupcakes ever.




it's cookie monster. and he has a cookie shoved into his mouth. and these chocolate cupcakes....they are TO DIE FOR. i ate two. but i could have eaten 12.




the kids were fascinated by the making of these. my husband made them. he said i could take credit for them, but who are we kidding here. mine would have come out looking like smurf blobs. i can promise you that.



last year i went to sam's and bought some cupcakes. then i shoved some tiny sparkly flags into them. the kids loved them. that's my style: pre-made and easy. that is how i roll.

and this is how the mister rolls: elaborate. detailed. appealing. perfection. everyone oohing and ahhing. and then the kids will smash them into their faces.

and it will be all over. all over for the cookie monster.
