Today we have Whole Wheat Cherry Icee Cupcakes, I follow a wonderful blog
Crazy for Crust and the desserts are amazing. Last week she made Icee Cupcakes which were beautiful and really looked like Icee's on top of a cupcake. So my kiddies wanted to make them, and we did, and they came out really good, and I must say that the frosting tastes just like a cherry Icee its amazing! These could be a wonderful treat for a pool party, park play date, any outside event!
