Early this afternoon, I was trying to think of an easy treat to make my children today in honor of our beloved Holy Father’s birthday. At first I thought I’d make something along the lines of Margaret’s “Popecakes,” but then I thought how easy it would be just to print out his Coat of Arms and make cupcake picks!
Ideally I would have liked to bake either White or Red Velvet Cupcakes, but I was sticking to what I had in the cupboard, so Chocolate Fudge it was.
For the frosting I made a Cream Cheese frosting (1 pkg cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla) and added some yellow food coloring to make it “gold.”
I used this image (re-sized to 1 3/4″) and printed 12 per page leaving room to fold the paper over the toothpick and glue together. I then trimmed the edges.
Happy Birthday, Holy Father!!
Jessica, where do you get all this energy? and time to put all this together?
You amaze me! Those are great cupcakes.

So sweet – what a great idea.
Yummy! I could use one of those right now!
Yes they did–really cute.
I love it, Jessica! I’m so bummed, because I haven’t been on line much and have missed so many celebrations. We’ll have to do this today as a belated birthday celebration.
