Lightbulb Moment

Ever have one of those duh! moments?

We made banana cupcakes todays. I love making the mini cupcakes...they are just perfect for my little ones. The cupcake papers must be too big for my cupcake pan because they don't fit in just right.

Every time I would scoop some batter into the paper, the whole thing would turn on it's side. Not pretty...and very messy!

So I scooped my batter into a ziplock bag, snipped the end and voila! I was able to hold the paper still with one hand while piping the perfect amount of batter into the paper!

Ahhh...that's better!

See the difference? I need to get better papers because even the good ones are a tad bit lopsided. But they taste delish!!

I heart Bakerella!

So Robert signed up to bring in dessert for his work luncheon. They are having a bbq/picnic themed lunch and I remembered THIS blog and I just HAD to try them out. I bought everything to make them and then Bakerella posted THIS on Sunday and oh boy...I had fun making these!

HAMBURGER CUPCAKES and COOKIE FRENCH FRIES! These are super easy to make...just time consuming. I used all box mixes...although I did not use the canned frosting...I made my own. I do NOT like canned frosting at all.

I used shredded coconut dyed green for the lettuce instead of green frosting

Hamburgers for lunch...then Hamburger cupcakes for dessert...yum!

I don't have a color printer...so I bought gingham scrapbook paper...spray glued it to card stock and then used the template to cut them out.

These pictures do not do justice...they turned out so cute! My only problem...how will I top this?
