bake cupcakes just like saucy, it is the only way i will ever make cupcakes again. the icing recipe saucy shares is also the best icing ever......use it at your own risk...it is dangerously amazing.here it is if you are feeling brave...
Saucy's Never-Fail Frosting
1 cup butter at room temperature*
1 cup vegetable shortening at room temperature (ie. Crisco)
1 teaspoon white vanilla (ie. Wilton)
4 cups confectioners/icing sugar2 tablespoons whipping cream
Best made in a stand mixer.
Cream together the butter and shortening thoroughly. Add the sugar, one cup at a time until blended. Beat in the vanilla as you go. When the sugar is completely beaten in, make sure the sides of the bowl are scraped down. Add the whipping cream, beating at the highest speed until super fluffy, about one minute. Use immediately. Store covered in refrigerator when not in use.
Saucy and Loopy schooled me in cupcake class 101. Let's just say professional production line. These gals are pros.Here are a few of our masterpieces.

Mmmmm! I think I see decorating tip #233 at work! I used it to ice a bunny for Easter... I really must post something!
Way to go Sassy! When can I get in on these private lessons...mmmmm!! D
um.... do you dress like that every time you bake? Good woman. I wear my sweats with the hole in the crotch.
Love your blog, and your kitchen is fabulous!
dear anonymous,
crotch holes are great for summer baking thanks for the tip-in the photos above I was on my way out the door to meet my gal pals- I had 15 minutes to get ready as my baby splashed in the tub and I applied mascara as I sang the rubber ducky song.
loved your comment (so did mc dreamy),

Is that your kitchen? I love it! We are going to be starting renos on our kitchen this summer/fall and I need some ideas. Would LOVE to check yours out---is that too forward?
Oh they photographed so nicely! That was a really fun afternoon, we'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Are these cupcakes for someone's birthday? They look marvelous. Oh, how I wish I could spend the day baking with you and Saucy. And I also must add that you are looking pretty sassy yourself. And that kitchen! Drool...You have a cute baby, gorgeous husband, are beautiful and you have that kitchen!
Pretty cupcakes! Pretty cabinetry! We want to see more of your house! :)
