Cupcakes!

I'm a crazy perfectionist when it comes to certain things. Mostly, I over-plan everything. That includes get-togethers.

For Leilani's first birthday, I'm planning on having a luau. Partly because I'm from Hawaii and it's the traditional thing to do for a first birthday. Partly because her name is Leilani and it seemed fitting. And partly because it's a super easy theme to pull off.

In my psychotic planning of this luau, I've already begun to test flavors of cupcakes to serve. That's right, just like you taste test wedding cake, I'm doing the same thing for the cupcakes I'm going to serve at Leilani's luau.

Today I tried Pineapple cupcakes with vanilla frosting.

They weren't great, so I'll cross that combo off my list. I'll try a new flavor on Monday.
