I absolutely love peeps….don’t you? But I really love stale peeps the best! So, I decided to have more fun this year with peeps. I made vanilla cupcakes from a cake mix…I followed the directions on the box, and added 1 cup of sour cream and a cup of white chocolate chips. I made vanilla frosting and just started decorating and I had so much fun! Layla agreed to pretend to be the Easter Bunny…and she almost ate the bunny in front on her! BTW: I just wanted to give a shout out today…April 12…to THE AIDEN…Today is Aiden’s birthday…he is two years old…he’s the little guy in the middle between his mom and dad who just returned home.

Mam Papaul’s Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

July 2, 2009 – 6:28 am | by admin

Found this cake mix (that included frosting!) when I was in Williamsburg shopping a few weeks ago. Here is what the cake mix box says: “So many stories of the origins of cakes and pastries recall the day of the Belle Epoque, with all its sophistication and style. Oftentimes, these recipes are lost through the generations, but not this time! My grandmother – Mam Papaul – was not a lady of high society. How she came upon these recipes remains a family mystery and a perpetual favorite. Bake them with love for your family while enjoying a piping hot cup of Cafe au Lait.”…signed by Nancy Wilson, President. Here’s the link to Mam Papaul’s web site… http://www.mampapaul.net/ …enjoy and have a great week! Rock On, CQ
