For the past two years, my master’s program has delayed some of my BWF posts but just this past weekend I graduated! This starts a new transitional time for myself but also for BWF as I can bake and post a bit more and incorporate Vines into some of my posts. We made these delicious cupcakes this past weekend to celebrate and covered them with “graduation caps.” If your loved ones haven’t graduated yet, these are a quick and easy way to celebrate them in a very sweet way. Enjoy!
