thank you thank you thank you everyone You all make me feel so good
I can't take credit for the idea though! I found it in a cake decorating book that I picked up at the register of the grocery store. It was surprisingly easy to make! I just had to hold the edges of the cupcakes a little while I frosted the shell, but the frosting went on quite easily once I whipped it up a little bit.
One box of mix makes 24 cupcakes, so everyone is going to get the cupcakes Hopefully Tyler will enjoy it! He enjoyed the gooey texture of finger paint, so hopefully he'll enjoy the gooey texture of frosting

I sent hubby to work today with two turtles I don't want them in the house because I would eat them all up *giggle* Hubby said he's going to try to slip them into the conference room when no one is looking and deny that he has anything to do with them
