Year of Cupcakes

From Parents Magazine- December 2005
When I first saved this article, my daughter had just turned one. Now she is attending school and participates in 4-H. This would be a great 4-H project for her- making one cupcake a month. Did you know 4-H has cake decorating as a project?

Something different and cute could be done for February.
