are all the rage lately and I totally can see and taste why!
 
last week we stopped in Main Street cupcakes in Hudson and had to try them for ourselves!  We took 7 of these babies with us!

   
Here were our flavor choices:
Chocolate Chocolate Chip - Dark Chocolate cake filled with chocolate chips covered in chocolate buttercream frosting and topped with more chocolate chips - okay...

Did you grow up watching this movie?  I know we did, every year as kids we would sit glued to the television over my aunts watching! So I was captured by this list celebrating The wizards 71st year!
Here are 71 facts for the films 71st birthday!

We had a really great time and Ben loved all his creative gifts!  After my sister made Zach the money tree I embellished the idea and added quotes and candy to the tree for Ben's birthday.
