Double Star Teeny Tiny Cupcakes - Gluten free!

i made teeny tiny cupcakes! and what's more, they're allergy free (egg, nut and dairy)... the ones with the pink stars are gluten free and the ones with the yellow stars are not gluten free (but other allergy free). so i thought i'd post a little "recipe" (if you could call it a recipe) for egg, nut, dairy and gluten free cupcakes! this is what i used for my double star teeny tiny gluten and allergy free cupcakes:

1 package of Gluten-Free Pantry's Old fashioned cake and cookie mix
1 can of Hansen's Raspberry soda (you can use any type of soda, like coke or 7 up)
1 package of Cherrybrook Kitchen's Vanilla frosting (+ rice milk & 2.5 sticks of non-dairy margerine)
2 packages of Starburst Fruit Chews
1 package of sugar crystals (pink)

mix cake mix and soda. put in cupcake molds. 350 degrees for 15 minutes (for mini cupcakes). make frosting according to directions. let cupcakes cool, frost them. edge with sugar crystals. cut star shapes out of starbursts with fondant cutter. put all together and voila! allergy-free cupcakes ;) (although starbursts have some dyes so be sure to check if you are allergic to dyes).

lavender in my garden

when i smell lavender i feel like i'm in provence. which is rather strange as i never smelled lavender while in provence... but everyone says it reminds them of provence and while i never used to think so, i think the power of suggestion has won me over.
