Betty's Tips
How about a Dalmatian-themed party? Serve cupcakes with chocolate chip ice cream, play 'pin the spot on the dog,' and send kids home with a 'doggie bag' full of dog-themed treats and prizes.
Wrap individual cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap, and include in lunch boxes for an extra-special lunchtime treat!
