Birthday Sneak~ Cupcakes!

I REALLY want to share what Finnley's party theme is.. but I can't, yet!  I can share a picture of my test run cupcakes. I know I have 4 months to go but 3 of those 4 months are THE hottest of the year and I am not about to be baking when it's 90 degrees out! So I want to perfect it now!

I think the first try may have been just right.. think I need to tweak the frosting a little more though! And since I was working on taste, and I don't want to give away the theme.. they will be much better looking on party day!

I just made a regular vanilla cake batter and swapped the oil for maple syrup! Then used my regular butter cream and added a few tablespoons of maple syrup so it' more of  a glaze and it's topped with some crumbled tiny pieces of bacon. I know, kinda weird but also really good!

Have y'all seen this Pajama and Pancakes Birthday here?

Or this one?! They made the table a BED!! I think they are calling it a Night Owl Party! So cute!

There are a few elements of those 2 parties I am hoping to incorporate! 

I should have a few more sneaks soon, waiting for some packages in the mail, and working

 on a few crafts for the party!
