Cuddle Monster Cupcakes Recipe:

Here’s What You Need—-

Boxed Cake Mix or We Also Recommend Our Yummy White Chocolate Cupcake Recipe.

Candy Eyeballs

Heart Cupcake Picks

Valentine’s Day M&Ms

Red Licorice (the kind that peels into little strips)

Valentine’s Day Cupcake Liners

Easy Butter Cream Frosting (Recipe Below)

Red Food Coloring

Frosting Decorating Tips and Icing Bag

Prepare the cake mix as indicated for cupcakes, place the batter in Valentine’s Day cupcake liners and then bake according to the box instructions. While the cupcakes are cooling prepare this easy buttercream frosting recipe:

1/2 Cup Softened Butter

4 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

6 Tbsp Milk

Beat the butter with a mixer on medium until it’s light and creamy, add in 1 cup of powdered sugar and blend on low, add in the vanilla and milk, then add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until it reaches frosting consistency. Divide frosting into multiple bowls (just depends how many shades of red and pink you want). Add food coloring to each bowl until you get the desired colors.

Place each of the different color frostings into an icing bag and then choose a tip (you can also just use a ziploc bag and snip off the corner).  Hand each child their own bag of icing and let them go to town creating funny layering effects for their “cuddle monsters”.  Next use the candy eyes, M&Ms, licorice, heart shaped cupcake picks and whatever else suits your fancy to customize the “cuddle monsters” and make them your very own.

Eat and Enjoy!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
