Tomorrow on April Fools Day, cupcake lovers could trick their friends and family with fake cupcakes.  One of the best fake cupcake creations is made from mini meat-loafs with mashed potatoes as the frosting and carrots for the sprinkles.  I have made these before and they are always a huge successes because they so closely resemble a real cupcake.  These “cupcakes” also work well because they are in fact edible, if you are brave enough to try one!  If you would rather be a little more cruel, these directions from instructables detail how to make inedible fake cupcakes.  Have fun with it and don’t get fooled yourself!

Like many of you out there, I am planning on baking several dozen cupcakes this week to celebrate Easter.  Although I do love cupcakes (duh!) I have to admit that sometimes I am not the best at completing recipes above a beginner level.   So today I went to three of my favorite online spots to find cupcake decorating ideas and recipes.  They needed to be relatively easy but have a cuteness level that was through the roof!  Just try to look at these cupcakes without saying “Awww…” !
