My sweet friend (and co-teacher) Marian had a birthday this weekend and I was asked to make cupcakes for our little get-together. First, let me start by saying that this was an all-girl affair and it was being held here, so the white cupcakes with buttercream icing that she requested were definitely not going to work. Marian LOVES pistachios, but we have a little guy in our class with a tree nut allergy, so we don't get to eat them as much as we'd like. I found this recipe from Martha Stewart and I topped them with a cream cheese buttercream icing. They were delicious and oh-so-classy looking. I will definitely make these again.
I had such a wonderful afternoon with some very lovely ladies and I just can't believe I live less than 15 minutes from such a beautiful place and I've never been there. It certainly won't be the last time I visit.
Happy Birthday Marian!
YUM! I just ate the last of my wonderfully delicious cupcakes! You were so sweet to work so hard on them! Love ya. . .
