Chai Latte Cupcakes and a Virtual Baby Shower

Incredibly delicious chai latte cupcakes

Today I am thrilled to be teaming up with a wonderful group of bloggers for a very special event. We’re throwing a virtual baby shower for one of our own. Our sweet friend Lauren Lanker of The Thinking Closet, and her husband Mark, are expecting their first baby (a sweet little girl) this June. If you’re new to the idea of a virtual shower, it is similar to a real shower but instead of one person hosting, each of us divvied up food, decorations, games and gift ideas.

I love pumpkin spice and pumpkin flavored things: pumpkin pies, pumpkins cakes, pumpkin muffins and cupcakes and all number of other pumpkin-flavored baked goods. I like to enjoy my pumpkin baked goods with a nice warm cup-o-joe. I just don’t like all the pumpkin flavor dumped into my nice warm cup-o-joe.
