I still can't believe you are headed in to the third weekend of baking cupcakes! You're insane. But I wish I was there to help taste test them for you. I most definitely think you need to try the bacon cupcakes for the block party. What a conversation starter. I'm going to try the recipe this weekend with your advice for a maple buttercream frosting. I'm so fascinated by this recipe.

I did manage to bake cookies last weekend. I'm in a rut and have only made m&m cookies since moving to Mass. They're tasty and Cole loves helping eat the dough, but I need to start branching out. Bacon cupcakes....here I come!

The recipe you used for Alice's brithday sounds delicious.
