Hi friends! *waves*

I have part 3 of the Bake Shop Blanket Series hot out of the oven for you today!
(I never get sick of that pun)

(I'm sorry)

(Please love me)

Its the....... CUPCAKE SQUARE!




How darling! How easy! How delicious!

This little cutie doesn't take much time to whip up and is eternally yummy.

I can just imagine making a whole blanket out of these and giving it to your favorite cupcake enthusiast.

We all know one or two, don't we?

Well you know me. And I'm a cupcake enthusiast. So there!
