My grandson just loves muffins, he calls them “muffin cakes” and is all excited when I show up with a basket of warm freshly made mini cakes just for him. This got us thinking… why not make “muffin cakes” in fun colorful cupcake cups and use healthier ingredients, for his birthday party instead of a cake. We took the muffins to his daycare and they were a big hit ! The daycare and the parents loved it too because it didn’t put the kids into a sugar tail spin from all that icing and the kids really like the fun and colorful miniature and regular size “muffin cake” cups too.
