Birthday Cupcake Fun!

Finally able to get a card reader that worked so that I can share my birthday planning hard work. I had so much fun making the cupcakes for the birthday party that I'm going to make   it a family tradition.



Jungle Animal Cupcakes



I used the Betty Crocker Jungle Animal Cupcake Recipe. The hardest part was keeping my hand steady to draw the lines for the zebra (not my favorite animal right now). :) Anyway, it took me about 5 hours to bake and decorate 48 cupcakes. I had to modify the decorations used so my 1 year could eat the cupcakes.

Lion

• Cheerios (oat cluster crunch)
• chocolate baking bits
• pretzel sticks

Tiger 

• orange m&m's
• chocolate baking bits
• pretzel sticks

Monkey

• mini marshmallows
• chocolate baking bits
• black milk chocolate candies

Zebra  

• mini vanilla wafers
• chocolate baking bits
• black jelly beans, cut in half vertically

Of course since our Yus is a Leo the lion was the main attraction. I made a mini cake lion just for him. It was tons of fun!
