Sweet thing

What a fun morning. Sam and I had quite the party making cupcakes together!  He is so funny...he loves to be involved in all of the steps of cooking...which can be quite helpful!  {and yes, that is chocolate all over his face...and yes, he'd already eaten a healthy breakfast of eggs and a banana before he consumed tons of sweets!}

I got the idea to make these chocolate wafers, for want of a better word, from the Martha Stewart Magazine.  They were so easy, I think they will become a must for holiday treats.   

We filled the white cake cupcakes with homemade strawberry jam {thanks for the idea Liz}, then topped them with pink vanilla cream cheese frosting, a heart wafer and some pink sprinkles.  They are divine.  It almost makes me wish I visiting taught myself!!!   Just kidding!  Wow, did that sound arrogant, but I am very proud of how well they turned out.  Normally I forget something in the process and it turns into one of those...best of intentions...projects!
