This week, we’re keeping it short and sweet. As we close out yet another year and move forward to a new one, we’re wishing you one thing.

Peace within

With every decision, we face an obstacle to triumph. With every pupcake we bake and give to our pups to taste. For every mistake we embrace and goal we conquer. For every win, loss, joy, and pain, we wish you inner peace for all that life may toss your way in the New Year and beyond.

In Rumi’s words…

That voice is your intuition. It always knows your heart and wants the best for you. Remember to listen to it, because It will never steer you in the wrong direction. It can lead you to peace of mind. So…

These Carob Chip Peppermint Muffin Pupcakes are dedicated to finding the inner peace within you.

And of course, we believe that every pupcake has a love story. So, while your favorite pup is PUPPY LOVIN’ on these pupcakes, we’d love to hear from you.

Discuss a time when your intuition led you in the right direction.

Please share your pupcake story in the box below.

And, after you’ve tried this recipe please share it with us @pupcakesugar on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or all three. We’d love to see how they turned out for you.
