If like me you are caught unprepared by the early arrival of Chanukah this year, here is a quick easy idea to help you celebrate on short notice! When Arielle brought a similar cupcake Menorah into our friend Betsy’s Chanukah party several years ago the kids were blown away. I may have been more excited than they were to be introduced to such an easy and fun way to celebrate. I had forgotten about the cupcake menorah until coming across a photo from the party on my computer a few days ago.   It was just what I needed as a  way to surprise my kids and make things instantly festive without having planned ahead!
