Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes

Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes



For our PBIS (positive behavior incentive system) celebration, I made 'Minion' cupcakes for my daughter's classes. I used gel glitter black icing in a tube to outline the eyes to create goggles. Little brown sprinkles for the hair. And FYI Twinkies get gross if left out too long. So I baked the cupcakes the night before and prepared the Twinkies about 2 hours before the party.












And 60 minions later.....finished!!

Littlest Angel

This little angel hung on the Christmas tree when I was growing up. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful and magical thing I'd ever seen. My mom passed her along to me 17 years ago when I got married. She still hangs on my 'special' tree along with all my most favorite ornaments. When we adopted a beautiful African American daughter 11 years ago, I purchased an angel that I hope she will think is the most beautiful and magical thing ever. Here are pics of both ;)
