When the kids were born, so many people told me how quickly they would grow and how fast time would fly…they weren’t kidding! I literally had a breakdown this past Halloween because thoughts about it made me so sad! I woke up thinking…gone are the days that they could barely sleep with excitement because they couldn’t wait to wear their ‘way too expensive’ costumes to school. I was able to get a few photos of them last week, but just barely so I am now preparing myself for next year. Now, to follow it up with Lily’s birthday…seriously?! My kids are pre-teens now and I’m looking for that inner strength to celebrate them growing up!
My sister-in-law and niece are amazing bakers and never disappoint when it’s dessert time with the family. Recently, they baked these Salted Caramel Cupcakes and Lily had requested to have these for her birthday this year. These cupcakes are NO JOKE!!! Although I made a double batch, they took me over 3 hours to make! Might have been quicker if I had an extra cupcake pan and enough brown sugar so I didn’t have to run to the store. 🙂 They are pretty decadent and rich…perfect with a glass of red and it’s probably not a shocker that I’m already thinking of what to pair it with! Ha Ha!
