***** Spring 2014 Parents’ Choice Fun Stuff Award winner - Parents’ Choice Foundation ***** Make stunning cupcakes with Cupcake Doodle! Choose from 15 fun batters, like Confetti, Green Tea or Mississippi Mud. Follow the recipe by sifting the flour, squeezing the lemons, mashing the bananas and chopping the nuts.
