  Bonus Cupcake Photo…

 

My granddaughter, Sara, had a destination wedding. She and her husband, Bob, were married at Red Canyon, near Las Vegas. Most of us live on the other side of the country which made it too far away to attend.

So, a few weeks later, we celebrated with them at a wedding reception locally, using a Casino theme for a Las Vegasie feel. Colors: red white and black. My daughter, Shannon -mother of the bride- made these beautiful red cupcakes for the occasion. It was her very first time making cupcakes for an event. I think she did a great job!

 

You’ll want to Pin many of these photos.

Cupcakes, wonderful CUPCAKES. They are simply beautiful, don’t you think? I do! It’s not necessary to be a frosting-lover in order to value them. Appreciating the artistry, alone, is enough to become a real fan.
So, I wanted to celebrate cupcakes. I decided to put the cry out to the experts–yes,that would be YOU–asking who would like to share their favorite cupcake posts with the rest of us. 


I was overwhelmed with your generosity! At this time, I have received 47 links. Wow! What I had imagined to be one wonderful post became a series. What fun! ♥ Links to the rest canbe found at the end of this post. ♥
So, welcome to the first installation of Cupcakes on Parade!
Be sure to share it with your family and friends!
Everyone loves CUPCAKES.

When I was just a little girl, my romance with Oreo’s began.
They are more than just taste, you know…there is an art to eating them.
All that aside, when I saw that a cupcake was made with Oreo frosting, 
it was a must-read!

Paula of Call Me PMc is the genius behind this delicious recipe.
