Kim's Birthday Cupcakes

It was a toss between margarita cupcakes with lime frosting and peanut butter cupcake with Nutella frosting. It was Kim's birthday and she requested cupcakes. In the end, peanut butter won out because I didn't feel like figuring out the margarita cupcake just yet. Maybe for Cinco de Mayo. The above photo was taken with my friend Beth's camera, and the said photo was stolen by me for the blog.
