Every year our friends have a fun summer party & we go every year. This year, their theme was "watermelon". I was so excited when she ok'd me to bring dessert & cupcakes. I had these in mind. But, life has a way of changing plans & we were unable to make the party. I am so sad for many reasons but will leave it at that. To perk up this post, LOOK at the cupcake picture above... Aren't they cute?!
We were there in spirit!

Desired Frosting ;):
Vanilla Frosting
- 1/2 c butter, softened
- 4 c powdered sugar
- 1/3 c milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- green food coloring
- pink food coloring
- red decorating sugar
- 1 c semi-sweet MINI chocolate chips
Take 1 c of the frosting & mix in green coloring.
Mix pink coloring in the leftover frosting.
Carefully frost only the middle of each cooled cupcake with pink, leaving the edging bare. Using a pastry bag, pipe the green around the edges to create the "rind". Sprinkle red sugar carefully onto the pink coloring in middle. Dot with the mini chips to create "pits".
