For dessert I treated myself to half of a vanilla cupcake with peppermint buttercream icing that my friend Demi made, it was so yummy! The other one was a chocolate cupcake with maraschino cherry buttercream icing. I wish I had her talent of cooking and baking. For example: one day she made pumpkin pie ravioli with pumpkin pie filling wrapped in her homemade pasta with a cream sauce.  Another day she made pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse. One day you will be able to enjoy one of her cupcakes at her soon-to-be cupcake shop or truck!
