Today was a fun day with friends, as always, as we got together for another food swap event! Food Swaps are a great way to get a sampling of different variations of foods, such as a cookie swap/exchange normally held during the holidays. Well, I continue this concept throughout the year, not just during the holidays. Every other month I schedule a Food Swap for various foods that can be easily made in a large batch and shared as individual servings.
This month in honor of spring, my friends and I came together with cupcakes to swap. It was an outstanding turnout at both the afternoon and evening session with so many cupcakes to enjoy. Here are pics of all the cupcake offerings and recipes to go with them. (I’m still awaiting recipes for some… so please check back soon for the others!)

How on earth are you still breathing today? I imagine you’d be crumpled on the floor in a sugar coma.
I’m drooling over here. They all look incredible, Joelen!
This is such a cooler idea than cookie exchanges!
*drool* Those look delicious!! Thanks for sharing pictures AND recipes!
Those are the prettiest cupcakes and some of the flavor combos sound wonderful.
Oh my God, I want a cupcake so badly after looking at that!
Wow, all those cupcakes look amazing!!! What a sugar infused event.
