Thanksgiving Cupcakes

  
These Thanksgiving cupcakes were a special order for children who are chocolate lovers. I made chocolate cake with butter cream, chocolate sprinkles, and chocolate chips. I was thinking maybe it was too much chocolate, but is there such thing as too much chocolate - especially to children that love it! I decorated some with colorful sprinkle leaves. I really enjoyed making these cupcakes because I knew I was going to make numerous children very, very happy.

Pumpkin Explosion

Thinking of treats for Thanksgiving - but my family is tired of pumpkin pie. Let them eat cake this time!
We wanted something different. I found a great pumpkin cake recipe and I turned it into Plump Pumpkin Cupcakes. They smelled and look great, nice and fluffy -  but how did they taste? I left the judging to my boys:
"Amazing!" - my son
"Mouthwatering!" - my godson
"Delicious! I want more." - my nephew

...and my youngest nephew, with his frosting mustache:
"Yummy! Yummy! My tummy wants more..."

I think we can safely say that these new cupcakes were a hit. One of my nephews named them Pumpkin Explosion!
