Recipe ???? Healthy Birthday cupcakes for two year olds.
Hi,
I want to bake birthday cupcakes for a Mommy and me I am going to with my two year old. I want to bring birthday cupcakes in on my son's birthday, but I think I need to make them healthy. The Mommy and Me is at 10:30 in the morning and I think the other mommies wouldn't like me bringing in pure sure that early for snack time.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have a cream cheese frosting recipe handy, but I'm sure you'll find something if you do a search at http://www.allrecipes.com.
For 2 yr. olds, you could try minnie muffins. Hope this helps!
I was going to suggest the exact same thing. For cream cheese icing take one brick of cream cheese and had about 3/4 of a cup of icing sugar and a capful of vanilla, beat together well. This is my fav carrot cake icing. You can add walnuts too but I wouldn't do this unless you know about the allergy factor of all the kids  . It is also ok to put less icing sugar for less sweetness
