Boss Day, smoss day...

My dad asked my mom to make cupcakes for his boss, for national boss day (which is today). My mom made the cupcakes and icing, and I offered to decorate them since I know how to do the swirl. Well the icing didn't turn out the greatest, it was literally sliding off the cupcakes! So I tried my best, and even then they looked a little worse for wear.

I think these are perfect for a kids party!

I knew I had to decorate them to hide the imperfections, so I went in my sprinkle drawer (I hide my sprinkles because everyone eats them on me!) and I remember someone DID eat all my sprinkles. But don't worry! I found a leftover bag of reesses (sp?) pieces! As well as some miniture m&m's in the kitchen closet.

I started out with the m&m's, and they looked super cute on the cupcakes, adding some color to the boring white icing. Then I used the other candy, and that look cute as well.

Then I remember my mom bought some mini oreo bags for trick or treaters. I secretly stole a bag (or two) and crumbled the oreos up, and sprinkled them on the cupcakes. I love how the oreos looks on the cupcakes! and I'm sure normal oreos would work too.

Then I still had some leftover cupcakes, so I continued my search in the closet (this is kind of like treasure hunting, hmm...) and I found some mini marshmallows. I though the marshmallows looked a little to plain on the white icing. So I decided to crumble up some honey graham crackers, and sprinkle that over, then add the marshmallows. Plus I found some mini (notice a theme going?) chocolate chips and add that to the cupcakes to make a smores cupcake. I also broked a fourth of a cracker in half, and placed that on the cupcakes. I have to say the smores looked the cutest and most yummy out of the bunch.

And of couse I had to do a few "adult" ones, since most of the cupcakes looked a bit childish. So I added some chocolate shavings, and white chocolate chips.

Enjoy your boss day everyone!
