First impression : These campfire cupcakes are so cool. Then I looked at the rest of the fun cupcake pictures on the page. I haven’t even read all the ingredients. It’s dessert and a craft project all in one.
Fabulous, in fact ingenious is perhaps a better term for these adorable cupcakes.
Wow,what a job i love them !
These look all kinds of awesome! Must remember these for the next summer birthday!
I am thinking sprinkle smoked sea salt for that campfire taste!
