and off we go to the carnival......

Here are a  few links to the products I used.  The cupcake boxes and embellishments are from Wilton.  Although I make most of my cakes from scratch, when I'm in a rush I rely on Pillsbury pudding in the mix cakes.  This cake could make my grandma drool!  She was an awesome baker.
My cream cheese frosting is from Glorioustreats.  Gloria is such an inspiration to me.  I can't wait to try a few more of her recipes.
