I uh.. don’t have the right hormones to participate directly, so when I saw the Manly Cupcake challenge at C&C Cakery, I thought, “Cupcakes. Now there’s something I can do.”

The rules are pretty simple. You have to post your recipe, pictures, and links to the challenge details and prize sponsors on your blog.

Ok, preamble done. Let’s bake!

Aren't they cute?
