M and I just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. To commemorate, I thought it would be fun to make these cupcakes since our wedding cake was a white almond. For our main course we had Jimmy John's, which we also had on our wedding day. I have to admit I sometimes feel like I'm cheating when I bake with a mix. However, when I add a little something extra and make it my own they can taste delectable.
