I hosted a baby shower for a good friend of mine (mentioned in the next blog posting) who is has 2 girls already and are gearing up to add a little boy to the mix. These are the simple but cute cupcakes I made for the brunch we had.

Lilly's B-day Cupcakes
A good friend of mine has a little girl who just turned 8. She told her mom she wanted some cupcakes she saw at Target for her party. I was heading over to Lynn's cake & candy supply shop and looked to see if they had the cupcake toppers that Lilly wanted so we could bake the cupcakes ourselves for cheaper. They did have them and for a great price. I told my friend Lori that I would bake them for her, since she was 8 1/2 months pregnant and had enough to worry about with the party. I went to Target myself to look at the cupcakes she wanted and took a mental note of what they looked like, and made them myself. I think they came out really good and I'm pretty sure they were a big hit at the pool party! She also saved a lot of money! Target was selling 9 of them for $7.99. She needed to have 24 for the party. I purchased 24 toppers for $3.80 at the cake shop. With one box of cake mix $.99 (which Lilly got to choose which flavor she wanted) and homemade butter cream frosting for about $1.50. What a savings! $6.29 compared to $24. I really enjoyed making them.
