While browsing through a Pampered Chef kid's recipe book, Sophia found a recipe for Mouse Cupcakes. Of course, she instantly wanted to make them! So Wednesday, we spent much of the day preparing and making the cupcakes. It proved a nice little lesson in counting as we needed so-many M&Ms, Hershey Kisses and Vanilla Wafers. As you can see, the cupcakes are very easy to assemble. We couldn't locate shoestring licorice for whiskers, so we used chocolate-raspberry sticks.This little project also provided some quality neighbor time. We ended up with 24 cupcakes...more than I wanted any of us to eat. We made up plates full of Mouse Cupcakes to distribute to our neighbors. We don't have the opportunity to talk to some of neighbors very much, so it was a great excuse to say HI & chat. It wasn't the first time we have taken food or treats to our neighbors. Now that I think about it, they probably think we are crazy for coming to their door with treats....
