In the famous words of Inigo Montoya, "Let me explain. No, there is too much.  Let me sum up."

Happy August Sweets Day!

Megumi, Hiromi, Maki and I had a wonderful August Sweets Day!  Our sweet of choice this month: an assortment of muffins - blueberry, craisin, and banana nut!

After some searching at the BX, the Commissary, and the Makeman 100-Yen section I finally found the ingredients I needed.  I even got to talk to my Mama on Skype while I started decorating the cupcakes!
