Gummi Bear Cupcakes

So a few weeks ago I felt the dire need to have a Mom & Kate Day.  These are official holidays (or mental holidays) in my book and this one was exceptional in its simplicity!!  Of course, being in Allentown, I felt the need to go to my favorite place... WEGMANS.  I have had serious supermarket withdrawal since moving to Delaware because no food store comes near to comparing to this glorious place.  Everything you can possibly imagine... and then some... they have it.  Of course I had to take some time to galavant around the candy section and while there, I found baby gummi bears.  I am definitely a gummi fan, whether bears, worms, sharks, fruit, octopus, eggs, etc and these were great.  They were each only about half an inch long and they packed a flavorful punch.  I figured it was worth a shot to try and bake them into cupcakes!  It wasn't my most successful venture, but I was happy with the flavor.  Basically, even though they floated in the batter just fine, they eventually sank to the bottom of the wrapper while they were baking.  It caused an ooey-gooey sticky mess, but I still liked them and so did everyone at work!!  I basically just put them into a white cake batter and topped it with strawberry frosting.  Sweet and delicious!  Thank you Mom and thank you Wegmans!
