Melissa's Bird Nest Cupcakes

My dear friend Melissa was looking for something special to make her doctor. She always turns to me for suggestions and I had just the thing, bird nest cupcakes. They would be perfect this close to Easter. I sent over a picture and she took it from there. They came out so cute! Her doctor and his whole office was in ahh. I am sure we will have more Melissa cupcakes to show you in the future. You can learn all about her and her wish to have a baby on her blog.

If you have cupcakes that you would like to submit to us you can email me at mjlampe@pld.com. I would be happy to feature them in a post.
