The Margaret Cupcake.

So my dear granny is 81 years old. She's extremely sweet, alluring and fabulous. She plays cards to pass the time and spends her weekends at slumber parties held by her equally rambuctious friends. They gossip, gamble and eat cupcakes to pass the time away.

Not only is she the coolest grandma, but she bakes the best cookies and desserts. Her signature is mini pineapple tarts that just take your breath away. That, is my goal in the near future, just soak in her goddess-like poweress in the kitchen and live like her - on the edge and grasping each day by the horns.

For now, I can only wish to be half as cool as she is in time to come.

She celebrates her 81st birthday this weekend, and to surprise her, I made her something that is uber sweet and satisfying. She loves them raisins, but unfortunately, she is not able to eat too much sugar so I had to think of a diabetic friendly recipe to help her out.

Great success folks, great success!

Peanut Butter Cupcakes + xtra love.

hello, my top heavy friend.

Making these cupcakes were a breeze - firstly, they are done in literally minutes. Secondly, they came out tasting like the way nature intended - a slow but pleasant and vicious attack on your tastebuds.

Everyone loved them, some even wanted seconds. It is one of those cupcakes that is made when you have no time and need to impress. The perfect "crush-turn-into-a-boyfriend" indulgence.

Plus, these cupcakes don't rise much so they turn out to look like mini cakes. I took mine out of the liners while serving them and that made them look oh-so-cute!

The surprising thing in this recipe is i added prune juice in - the tardiness of it brought out the saltiness of the peanut butter and it left that great fruity after taste. Trust me, this works like crazy.

sprinkles make me happy.
