Lara's birthday cupcakes

I've done some baking here and there on the side for people. It's really fun and sometimes brings me a little pocket money. I haven't started the baking gig back up yet since having Penny, but I thought I'd try to rustle up something for my friend's birthday. Her favorite is yellow cake with chocolate icing, so to make it easy on myself I thought I'd do a box cake with custom decorations.

I had some candy melts (like the kind you get at the craft store), basically like white chocolate. I melted them down in the microwave, poured the melted mixture into a squeeze bottle, and drew cursive L's on waxed paper. I let them set overnight, and the next day baked up the cupcakes. Once the cupcakes were cooled and iced, I decorated each one with some sprinkles and perched an L on the top. The finished product got a little melty and messy on the way to the party, but they still turned out pretty cute!

Happy birthday, Lara!
