Mummy Dearest ....

tomorrow we're having a Halloween Potluck at work and i decided to ... ya know ... bake something! lol. as usual ... hahaha! i was a little inspired by Halloween ... who wouldn't be?! These were some of the easiest cupcakes i've made! and they came out sooo cute!
aaaahh! super cute! lol. i kinda tried to turn the cupcake batter a dirty greenish brown in the spirit of Halloween. lol. didn't come out exactly how i wanted but oh well ... they're still yummy. lol.
CUPCAKE TOWER! =) hehehe ... i love it.
i ALMOST had a knife go thru my hand while baking today ... lol. i managed to only get a cut but lets just say it could've been a LOTTT worse! lol. now i'm gonna sit back and relax for a little bit then get up and make dinner ... lol. not as fun as baking but tastes almost as good. =)
