I made these cupcakes to celebrate her birthday. Yes, I did it a day before because being saturday it's going to be crazy busy if I wanted to do it. She was excited to see them when she came back from school. I let her decorate the frosting with sprinkles and some M n M's. For cupcake I used Ina Garten's recipe. It turned out really moist and amazing.
