The girls and I made trick or treat cupcakes this afternoon for Halloween. They happened to be gluten free and dairy free, so we shared them with one of the girls' friends who just found out she has a dairy allergy. I'm trying to perfect GF DF cupcakes for Audrey's birthday party that's coming up. Today for the frosting I substituted Earth Balance butter for the butter in a standard buttercream frosting. It tasted good, but the cupcakes had to stay in the refrigerator or they got a little runny. Time for plan B. The cake was just a mix. The idea of these cupcakes is to add candy to the top. We used sprinkles, skittles and suckers.

| Baker number 3, still too young to stand on a stool and help was wandering the island from the ground level, waiting for someone to drop something that she could scoop up and eat. She was particularly interested in the step stool we had out that day. |
