I'm doing the Happy Dance because it's Friday and I'm hitting the shops with Miss P and Little P today to knock off most of my Christmas shopping. Time is a ticking on the Christmas Countdown clock people!
A special occasion prompted me to put my big girl panties on this week and get out my baking tins. We had a celebration at work and it's not the same if you roll up with a hunk of char grilled beef unless it's a barbecue.
I started with vanilla cupcakes and decided to make them ultra special in celebration of the arrival of a grand daughter for my friend D.

No matter how careful I am I usually end up picking up fairy dust for the rest of the week from places it shouldn't be like the bathroom and in my bed.
I could have stopped there but where would the fun be in that? These cupcakes have to scream "Look at me , Look at me "
I just realised my goth/emo nail polish needs a touch up....and that I could stand to lose some weight off my hands.
Honestly can you ever have enough marshmallows? Especially pink and white ones?
And for the finishing touch (because there isnt anywhere near enough sugar in this recipe already?) I melted some white chocolate and drizzled that over the marshmallows. Voila. Cupcakes fit for a Princess.
Instant sugar rush and my favourite thing this week. (We were all pinging off walls for the rest of the afternoon )
I've been the lone grandmother at work for over two years. It's been kind of stinky not being able to gush and rave on with someone who understands what it's like to have the smartest , most adorable grandchild in the universe. Welcome to the world Isabel. Your Nanna and I are going to have so much fun swapping Grandma stories!
Time to share your favourite thing for this week. Feel free to link on up and tell us all about it.

If I ate one of those cakes, I would be pinging off the walls all week!
What a lovely sugary display, hmmm! Good that you have another grammy at work, too (even if yours will still outshine hers!)
:-}pokey
Ohh! Eee! Sorry I missed that celebration. My favourites....cupcakes & marshmallows & chocolate. Like I said Ohhh! Eeee!
Congrats to your friend and it is lovely to swap Nanna tales with and share photos.
WOW that's a lots of sugar! Beautiful cupcakes - perfect for the celebration!
Thanks for hosting!
holy cats! that's a lotta sugar per bite! mighty tasty looking....
Can this be a giveaway? Pick me pick me, I would love one of those amazing mile high marshmallow deluxe yummy sweetie luscious cakes!!
Are you sure you had enough sugar? Cupcakes are really big over here right now. Cupcake stores that is. I think homemade ones taste better though.
Nice that there's another gramma at work.
Nice favorite. thanks for all the pictures.
They look lovely. I think pink is one of the yummiest flavours.
Yumm, can you send some my way too please.
Just put on 1/2 kilo looking at those little beauties. Don't you hate seeing your own hands in a photo.
Will you make me some in April then :).......book has arrived!!!! do you want to try for a get together soon ? or after Xmas???
Now they look right up my alley! Delicious! Hooray for any reason to celebrate with a sugar fix :-)
What fabulous cupcakes!
Years ago, when I was still childless, I worked with an older woman who had THE MOST beautiful, talented and fantabulous grandchild in the history of the world. And I swear to God, I still shudder every time I hear the name "Jessica".....
Needless to say, it was not on the shortlist when my daughter was born.
YUM!
That is all.
Nope I'll say it again
YUM!
Oh, my. What an ooey-gooey creation! If I have to be on a sugar-high, that's definitely the way I want to do it. ☺
Happy Friday night!
My kiddo would be in heaven with one of those cupcakes. Anything with marshmellows is a favorite thing with her. They do look yummy and gorgeous.
Okay...that's just down right impressive. I bet they just melt in your mouth. Of course, how I can even look at food today after eating what I did yesterday, is beyond me. I am a total foodaholic. And I finally linked up to your party! :o)
I know you didn't mention them, but I see them on top of the marshmallows, and I just want to say, I love cachous. They're pretty and shiny and it's just a fun word, too.
Those cupcake look too good!
Oh my, I can feel the weight piling on just looking at these!
It's been a while since I've been at FTF. I've saved todays up for a month. I'm surprised I remembered after that long.
So, your cupcakes look so amazingly delicious! And I'm so glad you have someone to gush with over grandkids. I have to say that Little P is the cutest Aussie under three I know.
xo -E
Those are definitely OTT* cupcakes! Congrats to your work friend on her new Granny status. I like that you chose Bella for your second generation to call you :)
(*over the top)
What a fun favorite. My blood sugar skyrocketed just looking at those cupcakes. :-)
Oh, and btw, I've been known to favor black polish as well (along with turquoise, various shades of purple...)
Sugar rush HEAVEN!!! I would have said 'yes please' at any stage of the process :-). Congrats to your friend and enjoy sharing grandma stories x
Ooohh, those cupcakes look so good! I bet they were a hit at your party. Have fun swapping grandma stories! :o)
forgot to link up .. but I did post in time !!
OMG! Sugar sugar sugar - how long did it take to come down from the ceiling?
Yum! And you know, every photo I see these days let's me know that I need to start being more careful with my diet and exercise - I am getting bigger in front of my very own eyes. It turns out, I may be able to get a treadmill desk at work for the next 6 months. I'm praying that my boss will go for it, because then I can walk all day at work and lose weight while working (and still eat whatever the he'll I want to!).
I am fascinated that there is an actual sprinkle topping called Fairy Dust. Never heard of it before now. Fun cupcakes!
My teeth are hurting just looking at those cupcakes!
