Topping off cupcakes with Wet Walnuts it’s GENIUS if you ask me.

 

Let’s see what else had that GENIUS quality this week:

  • 2. spending 3 days with my mom, never enough time with family!
  • 3. planning ahead on some baking projects, and getting lots of prep work done so that this week will go smoother.
  • Yeah so to wrap it up….. these cupcakes should be at the top of your next cupcake baking list, trust me on this.
