Wishes and Dishes

Today is my 4th wedding anniversary with my hubby and to celebrate this special day I’m sharing a giant cupcake with you! Cupcakes are huge right now (no pun intended) and have been for several years it seems.  I got this Wilton Cupcake Pan as a gift last Christmas from my husband and it was [...]

I’m really sorry to have to do this to you, but I have the best cupcake recipe to share with you today.  Break out your stretchy pants before you bake these up because these cupcakes are FAN-TAB-ULOUS!  I just might sneak another because I know once Mr. Wishes gets a hold of them, only crumbs [...]
