As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6561339211264836933-3154692853033619344?l=persnicketysweets.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Persnickety Sweetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15989786053342610982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561339211264836933.post-45736256592662455622009-01-17T23:13:00.003-06:002009-01-17T23:19:03.231-06:00<strong>per·snick·e·ty</strong> \pər-ˈsni-kə-tē\<br /><em>adj.</em> 1 a: fussy about small details : <a class="lookup" href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fastidious">fastidious</a> <a> b: having the characteristics of a snob2: requiring great precision </a><br /><br />No no, Persnickety Sweets has nothing to do with snooty fancy shmancy goodies! I define "persnickety" as picky.... which is a tribute to my 3 kids, 2 of whom are the PiCkIeSt eaters, which is where the name was born. A wee bit ironic since I don't think there is a sweet they would complain about! ;)<br /><br />xo<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6561339211264836933-4573625659266245562?l=persnicketysweets.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Persnickety Sweetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15989786053342610982noreply@blogger.com0
