Say goodbye to everyday cupcakes and hello to eye-catching, fun cupcakes. Recently, I have been making cupcake wraps to jazz up my cupcakes, so I was intrigued when I heard about Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves. Sheri Mersola, the inventor of Roundabouts, decided to take typical cupcake wraps and kick them up a notch or ten. Roundabouts transform cupcakes into mini works of art – centerpieces for parties and get togethers. We received a package of the root beer float sleeves to review. Yesterday, Munchkin baked some delicious gluten free chocolate cupcakes, so we could try out the cupcake sleeves. They were…

What does this have to do with today’s post? Not much. I just think it’s bright yellow color is rather cheery. **grin** I didn’t end up getting as much done yesterday as I had originally…
