Peanut Butter Devils Food Cup Cakes With Peanut Butter Frosting.

You all know that my daughter got her ears pierced around Easter and she was so excited because she was now a big girl. Those that read my blog know that it was a big deal because she is autistic and she did really well. It was seven weeks this past week so we bought her a pair of earrings besides the studs she had and were going to put them in. When I went to take them out we realized that one ear had gotten infectected,  can we say not fun . We spent the last few days cleaning and getting the infection out hoping they would not close up. Well last night we finally got the earrings back in and then today she put on her new pair!

I love reeses candy, so I had an Idea of putting peanut butter cups in a cupcake and topping it with peanut butter frosting. Let me just tell you you will need a glass a milk with this one because it is very sweet, but it is delicious!



I am really trying to work on my photography, and I am really proud of these couple of pics. Getting rejected from Food Gawker 12 times really does help , because you work harder to get
 a better shot. I finally had one accepted the other day :)
