Happy birthday!

This past weekend was my dear mother's birthday! Happy birthday, Mom!! She's a fabulous mom...just sayin'. Anywhooo she just happens to be a huge fan of my cupcakes. No bias there, right?? She requested vanilla cupcakes for her birthday and can I just tell you how fabulous it was to dedicate a Saturday morning to baking? Putting on my apron, taking the mixer down from the shelf, mixing all the ingredients and smelling those amazing smells as the cupcakes baked. *sigh* I was in cupcake heaven!
