New beginnings

Last night we had Young Women's New Beginnings. Since this year's theme is "Arise and Shine Forth," we went with a sunshine theme.

The cookie cutter came from Amazon. I used my favorite sugar cookie and royal icing recipes from Bake at 350.

The cupcake wrappers were cut out of yellow scrapbook paper using this template. I used my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe (shown back here) and used chocolate chips instead of snickers. The recipe is kinda oily, I guess, because the wrappers had oil spots on them after just a few hours.

And congrats to Lise for finishing her YW Medallion! We're so glad to have had you the past year.
