Purple Sparkle Cupcakes

Yesterday was my daughter's 2nd birthday! So we had a little party, or several little parties.  It was actually divided up throughout 2 days because of various schedules.  My husband is working the night shift in Labor and Delivery, so we had cupcakes on Sunday night with the family.  And then she opened part of her presents on Monday with my husband there, one of my sons had cello lessons, so he couldn't be there.  And then she opened the rest of her presents Monday evening with all the kids and minus the husband.  We have a crazy schedule around here and just do our best to get by.  :)

She wanted purple cupcakes.  So one of my boys made the cupcakes.  He did a really good job.  He added purple food coloring to a white cake mix and then made a purple cream cheese frosting.  A few purple sugar sprinkles and edible white pearls topped it off!  And if you are interested, here are a few cupcake tips when using a cake mix.

So here is my sweet 2 year old, Daisy May.  She is growing so fast and will seem so big when the baby comes next month!  And just on a side note, she got her ears pierced yesterday and loves her new earrings!
