Apple & Fruit Muffins, Translated & Modified

I made these apple strawberry muffins today from A Mummy Too. They turned out well! But I just wanted to post my own version to go back to, with a few changes from the original recipe so it's easier for me to go back to my version.

Here's my modified recipe.

The fish net and fish bowl added a lot to a simple snack.

This is the recipe I used for the blue velvet cake

For the cake toppers, I used these bath toys.

For the room decor, I got this kit for only $5 on Amazon.
