Earth Day Cupcakes

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. 
- Native American Proverb

April 22nd is Earth Day!
Here is a fun and simple treat to help you celebrate.


Prepare a white cake mix.
Divide your cake batter into 2 bowls.
Color one bowl of batter green, and the other blue.

Line your cupcake pan with baking cups.
Alternating colors, drop spoonfuls of batter into the cups.


Bake your cupcakes and let them cool.


Cut off the tops.

 
Press a small heart-shaped cookie cutter into the center of the cupcake.


Use a spoon to scoop out the cake inside the heart,
and eat the scraps.

 
Fill the heart-shaped cavity with red frosting.


Replace the cupcake top and enjoy!


There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.  ~Brooke Medicine Eagle
 
I hope you will take a minute to reflect on all the wonders and beauties
of this planet we call home, and how we can take better care of it.

Happy Earth Day!
