Rhubarb, what is rhubarb exactly? I’ve asked myself this dozens of times and to be honest, I still don’t have the answer. I asked a bunch of my friends on Twitter and they said it’s a tart veggie, but it’s used almost like a fruit it pies, jams and muffins and such. *humph* I still don’t know about this rhubarb.
I brought them to class today and EVERYONE was surprised and delighted that they were made with rhubarb and were a big hit!! They ooooh and awwwwed and said they were delish!! (Especially the frosting!)
See the chunks of rhubarb?? Yummmy!!!

I LOVE strawberry rhubarb pie so I’m thinking these cupcakes are right up my alley! Hi from SITS!
You are going to get hundreds of comments all over your blog on this special day.
Everyone will tell you what a SWEET blog it is.
And some of us will politely ask for a glass of milk.
Yum, rhubarb.
Congrats on your fb day.
My husband would love these!
Yum, will try tomoz cant wait I luv rhubarb. Thanks Betsy!!
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi there. I use WordPress. And the reason why mine seems so much different is because it was made just for me by a couple of friends of mine that are web designers
Good luck with your new blog!
