<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Use your Snowflake
Cutter with mini snowflake, your Santa cutter with mustache, and your
Gingerbread man with the cute mini heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Santa cutter is
the shape used for Santa, Mrs. Clause, and the list to Santa, so don't forget
to make more of those! And don't forget Santa's mustache!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
This recipe makes
approximately 2-2 1/2 dozen with these cutters. The Santa cutter is bigger than
an average cutter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Prepare your Royal
Icing according to Directions. Add a flavor of your choice from the Treatology
Flavoring System. These flavors are AMAZING! Salted Caramel, Sweet Meyer Lemon,
and Juicy Peach are just a few of the yummy flavors!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">*Royal Icing Tip-You
will use two different consistencies of icing. Piping icing is a little thicker
than the consistency of toothpaste. You will use this for outlining,
decorations, and applying nonpareils to your cookies. Second is flooding
consistency icing. This icing is used to fill in your cookies after you have
outlined them. Thin the icing by adding a half teaspoon of water at a time to
achieve a thinner consistency. Don’t forget it is always easier to add more
water than it is to fix icing that is too runny!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cut the tips of your
bags. For your piping icing, you want your opening to be a little bigger than a
coffee stirrer. For your flooding icing your opening needs to be about the size
of a straw.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mix your colors
using Wilton Gel. For this set you will need Red, White, Skin tone, Yellow,
Grey. Brown, and Black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(If you want to add
polka dots to your gingerbread man mix a second shade of brown flooding!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You will need piping
and flooding consistencies of each color except for black, and you only need
piping consistency for black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">

</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Use the color mixing
guide included in the Wilton Gel pack. It gives you specific instructions on
how to achieve the exact color you are wanting! This is SO helpful and
something I will always keep close.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Using a Santa shaped
cookie, outline the cookie with your white piping icing. Fill with your white
flooding icing and set aside. Move on to work on the rest of the set while
these dry. I suggest letting these dry as long as possible, overnight is best
since you will be writing on them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
After the cookies
are dry, use your Blue Food Writer to make horizontal lines resembling paper. I
always use a notecard to keep my lines straight. Spacing between lines is up to
you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After your blue
lines are done, make a red horizontal line on the left side of your cookie.
Give the marker a few minutes to dry and make that list!! Don’t forget the
longer the cookie has dried, the easier for the kiddos to write on!</span></div>

that lighter shade of brown filling and simply dot the icing onto the already
flooded wet cookie. Polka dots can be tricky so I would leave this to someone
who has cookie decorating experience! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Outline your
snowflake using your yellow piping icing, and flood with yellow. After the
surface of the cookie is dry (5-10 minutes), spray with Gold Spray Mist. Give
that first layer a minute or two to dry and add a second layer for a more
vibrant gold!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add a snowflake design in
white piping icing to the top after it is dry to the touch. Use the same
process for the silver mini snowflakes using grey icing and Silver Wilton Mist. I also used shimmer dust and a large decorating brush to give these some texture and sparkle. Just dip your brush in the shimmer and dust over cookie.
The metallic mist is one of my very favorite cookie products made! The metallic colors
are beautiful and so simple!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Use your Food

Santa's hat, Santa's beard & mustache, Mrs. Clause's hair, the collar of
her dress, and her purse. This will make the outline process much easier!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Follow your outline

<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After the white
icing has dried for 5-10 minutes, pipe the small open spaces on the sides of
both faces with your skin tone color, and fill with flooding icing. You can go
ahead and do the same with red, piping Santa's hat, and Mrs.Clause's dress.
Let the whole cookie dry for about 20 minutes. I use this waiting time to clean
up……or eat sprinkles and scraps. </span></div>

After the cookies
have surface dried; add the nose, lips, glasses, details on the hair and beard,
Santa's hat, and Mrs. Clause's dress. Use piping consistency for all of these.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Add the eyes and
rosy cheeks last. For the rosy cheeks I put a TINY bit of red gel on a
decorating brush, diluted it with water, and made small circular motions. This
is also best to do when your cookie is completely dry! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off, I want to thank everyone for the sweet comments about the new baby. We are beyond excited and grateful for another sweet baby God has chosen to entrust us with. I just thought my house was crazy now, ha!</span></div>

I had NO idea that a year later I would have made thousands of cookies and shipped them all over the U.S. I can't tell you how much I have learned about myself and life throughout the past year. I have no doubt that God has taken me on this journey and I am excited to see what the next year brings!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, with that said I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of my customers and readers who have been encouraging and supportive, I'm looking forward to being part of many more parties and celebrations!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't celebrate 1 year of baking without some cookie pictures, so here are a few of my recent orders:</span><br />

I'm back! We spent last week celebrating Taylor's birthday, and we have spent the past few days trying to recover :). I took a break from cookie orders to get ready for all of the birthday celebrations but cookies pick back up this week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have some party pictures to share with you, but I thought I would share Taylor's party cookies first since it has been so long since I have posted any cookies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her party was rainbow themed with some ruffles and chevron, so I had so much fun doing cookies with all of these fun colors!</div>

I can't take any credit for the cake :). I debated on making it and then decided it was worth my time to have one of my favorite local bakeries make it. I absolutely loved it and was SO happy I passed that duty on to someone else!</div>

I also made a ruffled table cloth to match. I knew I wanted something fun and girly and I thought this was the perfect combination of the two!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I posted a pic of the table cloth on Instagram and I have had a lot of people ask me how I made it. I will do a tutorial in the next few weeks for those of you that have asked. It was super easy and super cheap! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I also made Jolly Rancher suckers from Pinterest and stuck them in vintage blue Ball jars for a fun effect on the table. Parker helped me make these one day while Taylor napped. This is a perfect and fun activity for a toddler.</div>

I made the toppers with extra icing from making cookies. I'll show you how to do that too. Its the perfect way to use up any extra icing without wasting it. A topper made out of dried royal icing is good for a year if stored air tight. Fun, right?!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have taken off about 10 days from making cookies to get ready for Taylor's birthday this coming weekend and I have found myself baking away anyway! No sugar cookies, but a lot of other yummy treats. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Yesterday afternoon Parker and I made these Reese's Cupcakes for Jason because he LOVES anything peanut butter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mmzSCmNahwBxHaEyhtrOtJ1YVOl6xngY-NMgwrkkzw6xLCZAGnKgIxFkzFxU7TvVpeAWSa5yrw3xF34kyuUJljE98kzSKfZoBgc-7uc-g30CM7DXL05o1Uby1_FwPeBxc32gbf01KGJK/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="267" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mmzSCmNahwBxHaEyhtrOtJ1YVOl6xngY-NMgwrkkzw6xLCZAGnKgIxFkzFxU7TvVpeAWSa5yrw3xF34kyuUJljE98kzSKfZoBgc-7uc-g30CM7DXL05o1Uby1_FwPeBxc32gbf01KGJK/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And yes, they are as good as they look and they are SO easy to make!!! I had a handful of people ask me for the recipe after I posted an Instagram pic so here it is....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Make your favorite chocolate cake. I love Better Homes and Gardens and </span><a href="http://better%20homes%20and%20gardens%20chocolate%20cake/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">this</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> cake recipe is one of the best I have found. Or make your favorite boxed cake mix.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Quick sidenote: I really want these recipes I post to appeal to the working mom or busy moms who have kids at home and don't have all of the time in the world to be in the kitchen. So I know its not the most appropriate as a baker to recommend a boxed cake, but its true, I make a cake from a box sometimes! As long as it tastes good, right?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Anyway, after you've made your chocolate cake, let your cupcakes cool completely. While they are cooling begin to make your Peanut Butter icing. Get ready for the best thing you've ever tasted. It tastes exactly like the middle of a Reese's.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Peanut Butter Icing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1/2 cup butter </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 cup peanut butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">2 1/2 cups powdered sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">3-6 Tbs milk depending on how thick/thin you want your icing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Soften (do not melt) your butter. Mix butter and peanut butter with mixer until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar alternating with the milk until you have your desired consistency. There is no right or wrong consistency, you just don't want the icing to be too runny.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The icing is really what makes the cupcake. After you ice your cupcakes top it with a Reese's of course! I used a regular size Reese's cup and cut it in half and it fit perfectly. You could also use mini Reese's, Reese's pieces, or crumbled Reese's candy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Megan was so easy to work with and basically told me she was using pinks and blues and she wanted cowboy boots.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These two started gymnastics this week. CUTEST. THING. EVER. I'm totally going to be that crazy Mom in the bleachers when my kids get older and start playing sports. I wanted to jump through the glass window at the gym and tell them they were the best and that what they were doing was awesome. All over a front somersault. But really, it was the best ;).</span></div>

My parents get us something for our garden we built for Peyton every year on his birthday. They got us this heart this year and we love it so much we have kept it in the house as a sweet reminder of him. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">..........with cinnamon cream cheese icing. These are so incredibly good and easy. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Fall is just around the corner and this is my very favorite thing to make! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I love to bake something from scratch, but I don't always have the time to do that. Most of the time the faster, the better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I found this recipe in a Food and Family magazine last fall, and if you like anything pumpkin, you will love these!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 boxed spice cake mix</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">(you can also make a spice cake from scratch)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 cup sour cream</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 can pumpkin (15 oz.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1/4 cup oil</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">3 eggs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 package of cream cheese (8 oz.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1/4 cup butter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 tsp vanilla</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 16 oz. package powdered sugar</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix first five ingredients with a mixer until combined. Spoon into 24 cupcake liners.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Bake for 20-22 minutes. Make sure the middle of your cupcakes are set before you take them out. This cake is dense and it cooks slower than a regular cake.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl until combined. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon. Ice your COOLED cupcakes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It doesn't hurt to put your icing in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. It makes it easier to work with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I snapped these pics with my Iphone. We all had so much fun. Taylor was in sensory overload taking in all of the sights and sounds. She was right in her element :) Parker was trying to figure out how everything worked and wanted to ride all of the adult rides. Which brings me to this:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Parker was dead set on riding the Ferris wheel as soon as we pulled in the Festival. As we were walking onto the ride I noticed this. Yes, that is the entire ride resting on a small wooden block. The best part is we still got on and pretended we weren't terrified. WE WERE.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the Cake:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 Cup plus 2 tbs. all purpose flour, divided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 Cup cake flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 tsp. salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 Cup plus 2 tbs. sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zest of one lemon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 large eggs at room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp. vanilla extract</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tbs. lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 Cup plus 2 tbs. milk, room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup fresh blueberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the Frosting:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 ounces cream cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 tbs. unsalted butter at room temp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 Cups confectioners sugar, sifted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tbs. freshly squeezed lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zest of one large lemon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Extra blueberries for garnish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the ¾ cup all-purpose flour, the cake flour, baking powder and salt; whisk together and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, sugar and lemon zest. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and lemon juice. With the mixer on low speed, mix in half of the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Blend in the milk. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients, beating just until incorporated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Using a spatula gently fold the berries into the cake batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared liners, filling each about ¾ full. Bake 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar until totally incorporated, increase the speed and then beat until smooth. Frost cooled cupcakes as desired. (I used a large, unlabeled star tip to frost these cupcakes.) Garnish with fresh blueberries.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also filled my cupcakes with lemon curd. SO good. These are perfect for a breakfast muffin if you leave off the icing.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I occasionally sort through my cookie cutters and organize them, and the last time I did I came across a handful of cutters that I had no idea what they were. So, I thought how fun would it be to have a fun quiz with my readers and have you guys see if you can figure out some weird cookie cutters. The fourth way to enter the giveaway is to guess what you think these five cookie cutters are posted below. Leave me a comment letting me know your guesses!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Cups Bisquick</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup sour cream</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup 7UP</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup butter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melt half of your butter in a baking dish. A 9 inch pie plate or 8x8 baking dish is ideal, but any size works! Mix your Bisquick and sour cream in a bowl until combined. Add your 7UP. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle your counter surface with Bisquick and flatten out your dough to around 1-1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into small squares, place in your pan and bake at 425 degrees for around 8-10 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are having Italian for dinner, sprinkle some Italian seasoning and Parmesan on top before you bake. YUM!</span></div>

We watch it often at our house and I'm pretty sure Jason and I love it as much as the kids do. When I was asked to do some cookies for an UP themed party, the first thing that popped into my head was; Carl. The <strike>sweet </strike>old man that steals your heart because he's such a grump, ha! So after some brainstorming I came up with a fun set:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I was asked to do these for a family who had just moved into a new house.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When I was asked to do these I was excited because this was something different. I used the design of the traditional WWE and changed it to a "C" for the birthday boys initial. I also put his name on a wrestling ring. I also did a referee shirt because I know that the ref stands in the middle and raises the winners hand (?!? I had to do some research to do these, I have never watched WWE).</span></div>
