Christie, you are Martha Stewart!! Now only do you post a recipe, but the picture is perfect!! Is that from a magazine or is that a real picture you took? You are truly amazing!! I'd love to make cupcakes too but just looking at them and all the work it entails makes me tired. I've got to go take a nap now!
Lis, you are hilarious. Of course that is a picture of the cupcake I made! How sad would it be if that was from a magazine. I wish you lived closer- I would bring you one for a treat.
Put some in the mail to me! Those look divine! And I love cream cheese frosting... What a great recipe!
So cute! I am definetly going to try that recipe! Yummy!
Christie Clark, my word. I can't believe you have two children (who are darling) Man time flies. Now you are posting recipes. You really are Martha Stewart. I am so impressed. I am really getting old. The problem is, that I have children younger than yours. I can't wait to try that recipe. You have such a cute family. You seem like a wonderful mother. Keep up the good work.

I hope that recipe is for Jen Hinze and it's something she'll be bringing to the ward Halloween party because they look delicious!
Thanks Christie!!
I didn't make it in time for Halloween, but I think they will make a perfect Thanksgiving treat!!!!!
