BE MINE Swiss Miss Cupcakes! ♡
When we are not busy preparing orders or answering emails or designing new product here at Garlands of Grace, we love to bake!!! I invented these cupcakes to gift at Valentine’s Day a couple years back. They were very much appreciated by the recipients! ;) The idea of creating a Swiss Miss Roll inspired cupcake had been going through my mind for quite a while and after much procrastination I conquered. These delightfully delicious cupcakes are sure to become a favorite! The cupcake toppers were crafted out of colorful straws(available at most WalMarts or party stores!) and fun paper. ♡

Psalms 65:11
According to the riches of HIS grace….
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will-Ephesians 1:5-11
