Ducky Day!
Jim has been busy plotting for a grand fête to take place in November with regard to his position as the Chief Building Official of Clark County, and as part of his party prep - and also due to his love of duckies, with which he regales Camryn in stories and toys - Jim decided to bake a trial run of ducky cupcakes to see how they might turn out.
Kenny thought he might help, and the two of them - and me, very briefly - stirred and dipped and sliced and poked and baked until a whole flock of duckies emerged from the oven as yellow as puddles of sunshine!
(Secret ingredients besides cupcake batter, yellow dye, and frosting - doughnut holes, marshmallows, and orange Starburst candies!)
Oh, look! Jim and Ken are wearing matching t-shirts:

A puddle of delicious sunshine!

those cupcakes look sooo cute! they did a wonderful job. :)
I seriously don't know how they did it--I can't even make regular cupcakes with frosting look good. I'm not exaggerating--my cupcakes fall in the middle and the frosting pools in the center. Yuck. Jim must teach me his secret!
Meredith - I'll bet they tasted as delicious as the goodies you routinely create in your kitchen! I know - we should have a bake-off between the Eby and Muir/Baldwin houses, and I'll be the judge!
Megan, the key here was freezing the cupcakes for a bit so they cooled properly, then dipping them in frosting (which was made a bit thicker than usual and kept in a deep bowl). That way, the entire cupcake was completely and smoothly covered in frosting!
