07 Nov Snickerdoodle Cupcakes + ChiTown
I am coming off of a fabulous weekend in Chicago full of the best friends a girl could ask for, amazing food and more alcohol than I care to admit. True to form, we took the town by storm. Chicago may never be the same.
We ate well. Untitled
We saw a celebrity.
We went out on the town.
We took a boat ride.
My friends are pretty.
We went to the The Bean.
And then we recovered with a Bloody Mary…or two. Uncommon Ground
One of us even had a run in with the cops. I’d say it was a successful weekend. Thank you to our hostesses – can’t wait until next year’s shenanigans!
Now for the sweet stuff. These Snickerdoodle cupcakes use cake mix as a base so they’re super quick and easy. I promise they won’t disappoint!
