A special treat at work the other day a new nurse brought these cupcakes in for the staff. I must say that I did not get to eat one.....braces and all, but the ooh's and ah's from all of the staff was wonderful on a stressful day. I did get a wonderful sniff of the cupcake though..hehe. Amanda found the recipe on Pinterest and brought in for everyone to enjoy, I found the website and posted a copy here. To see all of her recipes go to her website Your Cup Of Cake . ENJOY!
