A Party for Cornelius

Last week we had a birthday party for Cornelius (Addilyn's favorite stuffed giraffe).  We made some rainbow cupcakes to celebrate (and so we could cross "bake colorful cupcakes" off our summer list).  Addilyn was mixing in the green food coloring.
 We then just dropped in different colors of batter into each liner.  That way each cupcake was unique.
This was an egg-free cake recipe so that we could share with Asher.  I'm not sure if it was because of the lack of eggs or something else in the baking process but these cupcake tops were concave instead of convex.  We decided that would give us a good opportunity to add a surprise ingredient.
Decorating the cupcakes. 
Pretty little cupcake.

Checking out her present.
Enjoying his cupcake.  If you look closely you'll see that we filled the top with mini chocolate chips before frosting them.  Mmm.
After all our work, Addilyn told me that it wasn't really Cornelius' birthday.  She was just pretending.  Cornelius' birthday is actually on Easter. 
Oh, I guess this girl doesn't need any help with imaginative play.  I had fun throwing a party with you anyway, silly girl.
