MY FAVOURITE CUPCAKE!!

Above is my most favourite cupcake(also known as squishy nunubug, creative..i know..you got better ideas?). Gorgeous isnt she?
However as much as I would like to brag this cupcake isn't mine. Shes my brother & beautiful wife's baby (one of 3).I'm a proud auntie. I bet you just cant help but smile & get wrapped up in her contagious(albeit goofy)laughter of my little cupcake. This fantastic moment got me to thinking why do we love cupcakes so much?. Its not just that they're delectable, sugary, delicious & addictive(& they are..), but more often than not cupcakes are part of all the beautiful moments in life creative occaions, birthdays, a treat for a job well done(er..or in some cases seemingly done..what they don't know cant hurt..kidding)lazy Sundays sitting around chatting with family friends discussing ideas about the future, cosy & warm. Of course munching on midnight snacks. Most importantly cupcakes represents being loved by others & the creative life we sometimes wished we could have or the type of role in life we we would like to fulfill, or at least it does to me. to be honest with the fast paced life we lead good old fashioned family time seems to have faded. So perhaps its time to make some new cupcake memories.

Heres some creative ideas, for example you could:

1 : Bake pink strawberry cupcakes & your children, neighbours children, neices & have a princess/barbie party with pink dresses & a tea party theme.

2: You do a grown-up, creative version of the above complete with marula cupcakes(see vanilla cupcake recipe below & add 15ml marula) cucumber/salmon sandwiches along with some good music. Theres so many creative ideas that would apply.

3: You could pack a lovely picnic basket along with some lemon cupcakes(summer sunshine type of idea)
& have a creative outing with your family/friends.

4: Consider making a cupcake birthday cake like a tower on a stand.

5: You could have a cupcake party, invite guests(great for kids or a family board games night). Each person gets to make & decorate their own creative cupcake/s with vanilla cupcakes made & ready along with different flavoured icing sugar & sprinkles.This idea really works.

I really hope the above inspires you to be more creative & fun with plenty of ideas with something as simple as a cupcake.
