Mummy Cupcakes

When my son came home from Cub Scouts last week, he told me I had to make cupcakes for his troop party.  They had to be chocolate and they had to be scary. I had some ideas, but didn't really start to think about it until the weekend.  Unfortunately, the cold that I was fighting earlier in the week had turned into full blown bronchitis by the time the weekend came.  I even had to call in to work.  So, by the time I needed to make the cupcakes, I wanted something simple to make.  Mummy Cupcakes were perfect!

I've seen them all over Pinterest and they looked pretty easy to make.  Plus, I had some Candy Eyeballs that I had bought earlier in the year when I hosted a Hotel Transylvania party.

Owl-Themed Baby Shower

A few months ago, my family and my sister's husband's family threw one of my sisters a baby shower.  I was in charge of the cake and cupcakes.  I knew my sister's nursery was going to have owls and was going to have grey and pink.  So, I wanted to make her desserts that reflected that.
