bowling party fun

The bowling party went well.  It was a couple of hours and there was no clean up which is the best.  The host at the bowling party takes care of everything.  The only things I had to do was make the goodie bags for the kids and make cupcakes.  The cupcakes were his birthday cake and I also thought were easier to serve at a bowling alley. So far my favorite cupcake recipe and the one most people like, espcially my family is Magnolia's vanilla cupcake recipe paired with Martha Stewart's cream cheese frosting.  I'm not a huge fan of buttercream because it's just too sweet for me. I ran out of cupcake liners so I did the parchment paper ones.  Pictures to show:

I also made these cookies (I tend to make these a lot) for a little thank you treat.  They're also everyone's favorties cookes.  I make them smaller than the recipe calls for and also substitute cranberries instead.  You should really try these cookies when you get the chance.

Thank you for the recipe links! I will have to try those cookies for sure. I have a bag of dried cranberries waiting for me in the pantry.

Organization is on high class!! Sure it was so hard work, but I guess it worth to
