Wow--we had so much fun making the cupcakes that are now shown in my photo gallery.  We liked them so much that we submitted them to Rachael Ray's show.  :O)   Keziah and I spent about an hour making and decorating these.  We had gone shopping at an Amish store near us and found the dried decorator marshmallows (ones like are found in Lucky Charms cereal) and bought a large bag (about 0.5 lbs).  They were so cute and irresistable!  We weren't sure what we were going to do with them; but we knew we would find something.  We were getting ready for a FHE shared with another family and it hit us---SPRING!  We had to make spring cupcakes.  We got out the liners, mixed up a golden cake batter, poured it into the liners with a lump of dark chocolate dropped in on top.  After they baked, we dipped them into a soft chocolate icing and went wild decorating.  Some we just rolled in the marshmallows and others we place the decos on with care.  Sprinkles gave the final flourish and voile!  What a blast--the kids went nuts over them--not even wanting to wait until after supper.  I am not sure who had more fun--the eaters or the decorators.  :O)  A sweet spirit pervaded our home as well as sweet smells.
