Funfetti Cupcakes

A few weeks ago my son Remington celebrated his 3rd birthday! He talked about his birthday party for months and months. He picked Batman as the theme and that is exactly what he got! I found these fun little signs here and I also bought the cups, plates, and napkins there too. I think they were the perfect touch to add to his batman party!

My mom is an amazing cook. I have learned almost everything I know from her and spending hours and hours in the kitchen together! She made these cupcakes for Remington’s party and they were amazing! And definitely good enough to share with my readers! I hope you enjoy these as much as my little boy and his party guests did!
