These are so yummy looking! I was trying to find the perfect desert for a little party at my house Thursday and here it is!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we still need to get together. We have been so busy/sick that nobody in our house has been doing much of anything. Let's plan something soon. I know Harper will love the museum.
Abby you will love these cupcakes, they are so fresh and spring like. I couldn't resist eating thee whole lot of them, ugh!
ReplyDeleteAnyway and I agree let's get the girls together they would really have a blast together. Plus the museum is too fun, and lots of greats eats downtown too.
Let me know when you have a free Saturday so we can plan a play date for the girls.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to there...
ReplyDeleteYou must not deny the rabid pregnant lady a key lime cupcake, or the doll may mysteriously appear under your pillow.
