I got a good idea from a blog I follow, Sweet Sugar Belle, about putting jimmies sprinkles into the cookie dough to make the cookie a little more "fun" with a little color. There was a cookie auction at my church and the lady who won the auction asked me to make some cookies for some of the workers at the church before memorial day. I thought I would be fun to incorporate memorial day into the cookies since it was coming up the next week and I had come across some cookies on interest that I wanted to change up the design a little bit and just have some fun with the order.
I also got a few other ideas from pinterest and got creative in the designs as well.
I decided we needed a dessert for Memorial Day as well and since I was short on time I used a white cake box mix (yes I know… shame on me) but I added a little bit of this and that, some rum and real vanilla bean. Needless to say these were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had!
