Hey, Hey, We're the Monkeys . . . .

I love having something as juvenile as monkey face cupcakes for your 25th birthday. I can't take the credit for this one. My sisters made them for me, my nephews helped put eyeballs and ears on, and my family took great pleasure in putting the trick candles on them so I couldn't blow them out when the singing was over. Of course, my older brother harassed my mother about giving her asthmatic daughter trick candles! No, it did not take spit to get the candles out, although that probably would have worked! A dish of water was just as effective, and MUCH more sanitary! (Are you sure this water is sanitary?) Who knew monkey heads would taste so good!

It looks questionable to me!! Cute monkeys . . . of course. Isn't it great being a quarter of a century old?

Esther,
I loved the Monkeys!! You will have to tell me what they used for the eyes (are they the candy eyes you can buy or did they draw a dot on skittles or something)? I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you a lot last night. I hope you are doing better, you sounded a little stressed. Love ya.
