Happy St. Patrick's Day

My husband, being Irish, feels compelled to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  Given that our son is only 2 1/2, he can't drink a Guinness with his father.   So, instead, we decided to make swirly green cupcakes for Luke's daycare.  On our first attempt, I grabbed a random cupcake mix from the store.  It wasn't until we finished mixing the batter up that we had a taste, only to find our mouths burning afterwards.  Why you ask?  



I think the box speaks for itself.  Who puts cayenne in cupcake mix?  Who did the market research on this?  Anyway, our second attempt was much more successful.  



Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

  3. I'm so glad you discovered the cayenne before the little ones got to them! That could have been disastrous! Those cupcakes would be great for April Fool's Day! HA! Happy St. Paddy's Day, Fran!

  4. I really like your blog. It's one of those things that transport us to where we'd like to be - a place for dreaming, imagination and creativity. It's also a way to share, connect and reflect - things can can be hard to accomplish in our busy, task-oriented worlds.
    So that's some of the reasons I like it.
    Hope you're wearing green today and have the luck of the Irish! Love, Susan
