Made these at my sister Melanie's house for her Christmas party. See the sprinkles? I told you I've been using them a lot! Below is Gus going after the cupcakes. After his first birthday he wants MORE!

Made for my friend Sarah's birthday brunch. The chocolate cake is Martha Stewart's one bowl chocolate cupcake recipe, not my favorite, but it's easy and Sarah loves it. I'm now purchasing these sprinkles in bulk from Surfas and you'll see them a lot!

These definitely turned out better than my last batch, simply because the red was more intense (thanks to Wilton no-taste red).

---It's so nice and warm here, not looking forward to the chilly temps in Dobbs Ferry!
---Articles that struck me today:
