PokeBake day #2! Today we made cupcakes! Now I'm not really a fan of banana muffins/cake so these weren't my fav but they're still good and my 2 buds really really digged them so I think ya'll will too! This time my major pokemon catches were Clefairy, Diglett, and Ponyta! Was a great day!

**Because of the strawberry reduction it'll make your frosting much softer so please keep it in a cool place not sitting outside in the summer heat! Otherwise you'll have melted frosting**

Let me know if you have any questions! :3
