My Birthday Blog-stravanganza – Cupcake Monday

{Today kicks off my Birthday Blog-stravagaza!!!!  Yeaaahh!!!! 

Each day this week a different guest blogger will be featured in a post.  The subject of the posts will be on one of my favorite things.  Be sure to check back daily to find out what they are. 

Also, there will be a daily giveaway having to do with one of my favorite things.  Today's giveaway is a Cupcake Kit (this one is Gluten-Free!)...to enter please leave a comment below about your favorite cupcake flavor.

Today's guest post is from Vanessa Valencia who is the magically wonderful artist whose blog,  A Fanciful Twist, is one that I heart.  I’ve mentioned her and her blog before and just love it….it makes me happy. 

Vanessa’s challenge was to take on one of my favorite things, Cupcakes, and write a post about it relating to parties and occasions.  These cupcakes look terribly delicious....

Thanks Miss Vanessa!}

  17. Happy birthday to you! I ADORE cupcakes - I like to think of them as my own little personal CAKE. :) Cannot live without them, and they are my favorite thing to bake. The one that everyone loves is this green tea cupcake recipe that I found in a vegan cupcake cookbook. :) It's dreamy. :) And BEST of all, a delicious and fanciful cupcakey-goodness post from Miss Vanessa herself! Hurray!!! :)
