It was Bob’s birthday yesterday so I made him these cupcake instead of a cake.

My little great nephew Noah is turning 4 and his mom, my niece Amber, asked if Cort and I would make Muppet cupcakes for his party. The Muppets turned out to be pretty hard to make so we opted to make him a mini bday cake with Kermit on it (his favorite Muppet) and then … Continue reading
