Wordless Wednesday

I know... I'm a bad cupcake blogger.  I haven't made any new cupcakes for you in a LONG time.  I'm sorry.  Maybe, a hot cupcake bath will help me feel motivated to bake again! Don't these bath bombs look delish?

You can get bath bombs like these from my friends at Feeling Smitten.

Halloween Cakes... Errr, I mean Cupcakes

I stopped at Safeway last night to pick up some fudge brownies they make in their bakery when I was stopped in my tracks by some super cute Halloween cupcakes! Now, I'm not usually a fan of the cupcakes that are lined up then covered in a blanket of frosting to create a cake-like feeling (I mean really, if I wanted a cake, I'd just make one, right?)... but these Halloween cakes, I mean cupcakes, were SO CUTE that I just had to take pictures and share them with you!!! Enjoy!!
