So my day job asked me if I wouldn't mind making some cupcakes for our CEO's 20th Anniversary. First off, my response was that I was beyond honored that I was being asked. Then I hear how many - 60 - SIXTY!!! My mouth almost dropped but I kept my composure cool and calm like it was nothing. When I was bubbling inside with excitement!!! I don't think people understand how much I really REALLY enjoy baking. My husband isn't much of a sweets eater which benefits us both. It means we don't keep sweets in the house because I would be the one to devour them all. And that wouldn't really exactly help me since I've been on the Weight Watchers Points Plus program for the last 4 months. And am proud to say I'm down 27 pounds!! Then comes the - What?!??! You bake sweets and still lose weight - How?!?! Most of the time the sweet treats are for my friends, family or co-workers so I'm passing the extra calories aside to others! :-) Don't get me wrong - I definitely indulge in my share of sweet treats I just track them in my points! Well - on to the 60 cupcake challenge!!!!
So 30 of the cupcakes are decorated with the number 20. I used Wilton's Pearlized Sprinkles - Sugar Pearls on top of the stars I piped out.
Here I used Wilton's Pearlized Sprinkles - Silver Pearlized Sugar around the edge and just piped the "ACB" in buttercream icing.

This is a little better photo using the flash of the 20 year cupcakes.
And here is just a view of what 1 dozen look like. 30 cupcakes are chocolate and 30 are vanilla. I used a simple buttercream frosting for the entire frosting and decoration. Many Congratulations to our CEO!!!
