Cupcakes, Cupcakes and More Cupcakes

I had a moment of insanity which led me to make 300+ mini-cupcakes for my son's rehearsal dinner.  My sweet daughter-in-law to be had requested we bring dessert for the dinner.  She really didn't want a cake since we would have plenty of that at the Wedding. I happened to think, "Cupcakes would be great." I should have promptly went and ordered them from a local bakery.  But being the overachiever that I am,  I really wanted them to have something Special and chose to make them mini-cupcakes to  complement their Fajita menu.

 I searched all my favorite blogs and narrowed it down to making Dulce de Leche, Margarita and Cinnamon cupcakes. I purchased all my ingredients and decided to try the Babycakes Cupcake Maker.

This nifty little machine makes Excellent cupcakes. They cook in minutes and each one has the same shape to them, thus making them easier to decorate. I got them all cooked on one night and decorated the next day.  They looked Gorgeous and tasted even Better...if I do say so myself;)

Done! no not yet....how in the heck was I going to transport them to the rehearsal dinner? did I mention this was the middle of June in Texas?? ha!ha! I searched the internet for options and actually found some that would have worked but, actually Thanks to Facebook, found friends who lent me their cupcake and jello shot carriers...Problem solved.
