Pumpkin bar cupcakes.

I like cupcakes. I've been making them a lot lately. They are just cute and fun and then you don't have to cut the cake.

Actually I like to cut cakes. with squiggles. although that seems to bother some people.

Maybe that is why I do cupcakes.

So I don't bother their rhythm of perfect symmetry.

They were good.
