Stef writes a blog, Cupcake Project, all about...yeah, cupcakes. She's mostly interested in making them look and taste fantastic, but sometimes she goes wonderfully off the beaten cupcake path like with this creative cupcake piñata project.
Yes, there really are cupcakes inside ready to be whacked out with a stick. But Stef has put them in containers without frosting so you're not in for a total mess. Plus, she says, the kids can then frost their own cupcakes so you've got another party activity on your hands.
