“I’m just trying to change the world.. one sequin at a time.” – Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga cupcakes.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year because it’s the one weekend that you can dress up and be whoever you wish to be. Every year there is at least 4 different things I want to be.. A raincloud, Avatar, Polar bear or my fall back costume, a Playboy bunny. At the end I decided on being Lady Gaga! She has crazy and fun costumes and I’ve never rocked a wig before. And while rocking out my costume for the big weekend, I had to make Lady Gaga inspired cupcakes of course.
