An obscene amount of sugar

That is what was on my kitchen table yesterday...an obscene amount of sugar. My sister and I made cupcakes from this book. The book is VERY highly recommended for anyone who like to dabble in the cupcake arts. We made the Vanilla cupcake recipe from the back of the book and it is pretty good. I liked it because they are not sickly sweet. We chose to make ours into the Christmas ornaments because they required the least amount of candy and skill with a pastry bag. We bought Starbursts to use as our fruit chew but we really should have bought Airheads or something softer. FYI about ten seconds in the microwave made the Starbursts much more manageable. I will have to take some pictures later today. The best ones are the ones the boys made. Ammon's has so much colored sugar and sprinkles on it. Eli's has so many mini M & M's on it that the top of the cupcake caved in. They had fun and that's all that matters.

Well, I am off to take a little nap. I have a cold again and my eyes keep watering as I am typing this. I do apologize for any unnoticed typos.
