for the grads :)

June 4, 2009 by Leave a Comment

as i mentioned in my last post, my preschool class graduated on tuesday. very exciting for them. they all think their big now, going off to kindergarten and honestly, they are big now! i’ve been working at that school since some of them were squishy little 2-year-olds, so to see them grown and learn and develop has been amazing. i made them some chocolate, graham and marshmallow cupcakes that i have been wanting to make forever…any excuse to bust out the torch…


the cupcakes went over well with the kiddlets…they all scurried straight toward the refreshments as soon as the ceremony ended…bypassing parents and grandparents with cameras. however, marshmallows all over their faces is always a good sign, and a good photo op too. i don’t know how well the treats went over with the parents as they had to cart their sugar-high kids home and try to get them to bed afterward, but it was a special occasion…so, i guess i don’t feel bad at all πŸ˜‰ hopefully running around the classroom during the reception burnt off some of that excited energy.


i should mention that the cake batter overflowed…a lot…i only filled the cups 3/4 of the way up, but i think that maybe my oven was too hot…i don’t know, but that was the only disapointment i had with this recipe and it was probably error on my end. they have all the goodness of a s’more in cupcake form, so i don’t really know how anyone wouldn’t like these…unless they don’t like s’mores, in which case i really don’t know what to say to that… πŸ™‚

chocolate graham and marshmallow cupcakes
the recipe can be found here. i didn’t deviate at all from the original recipe so, i thought i just post the link…plus i’m being lazy and you know, typing just takes it out of me. happy weekend!

    I taught preschool/pre k for several years and it’s always so exciting (and a little sad) to send those babies off into the world. πŸ™‚
    Your cupcakes are great. I bet they couldn’t wait to get their little hands on them.

    I can attest to the fact that they were delicious! Drew was too busy wreaking havoc in the pre-k room that night so I gobbled his cupcake once we got home…YUMMY.

    I just told my mom about your website too…she said it was beautiful πŸ™‚
