Birthday Cupcake(s)
10:18 PM Edit This 0 Comments »I received lots of compliments on Duncan's birthday cupcake(s). One of our friends shared the recipe with me, and I thought I'd share it, too. It's so yummy. It's a great way to sneak in some vegetables for your little one if they are picky - Duncan LOVED them.

For Duncan's birthday, I doubled this recipe, and it made one giant cupcake and 12 regular ones. The next time that I make this, I'm going to make a loaf; we discovered later that this tastes even better when it's warmed and has butter on it!
I tried to add pictures, but blogger was being silly, so take a look at my new pictures on Facebook to see these cupcakes!
