Notes
The nutrition facts are based on just the cupcakes, not the frosting.
You can use frozen blueberry, beet crystals, or strawberry to color the frosting. Or use thesenatural food dyes
you can make these 1st birthday cupcakes into a smash cake (see notes in blog post)
if refrigerated, the cupcakes will become denser
If using cream cheese frosting, let them settle to room temperature before serving. If using coconut whip cream, serve immediately from the fridge.
Note: the maple flakes obviously voids the "sugar-free" title. These are something I used as my girls got older or to simply decorate for the adults. Completely optional.
