I was responsible for treat day last week. I think all of my co-workers reminded me that it was my treat day. Everyone loves treat day. Everyone also knows that I’m absent minded. (Like when I almost left these delicious cupcakes in the fridge on treat day. Luckily, I ran back for a Diet Coke. Phew.)

I headed on over to my cupcake board and picked out a recipe for Andes Mint Cupcakes.

Good choice. Good choice.

You can find the recipe over at Your Cup of Cake. I only wish I the skills to dream this stuff up.

I do want to share with you two of my favorite cupcake making weapons.

Weapon #1: Cupcake Batter Dispenser

This thing is awesome. I am the world’s messiest baker. Filling the cupcake liners is a breeze with this guy. I used it for all of the them except for the top right. See the difference?

Yes, it does look like Ike left a surprise in each liner but it shakes out. Trust me.

Weapon #2: Pampered Chef's Easy Accent Decorator

This little guy is super easy to use. I’ve tried frosting bags before and they are always such a mess. I just fill the tube with frosting using a spoon and squirt away.
