Next dip the muffins into sparkly yellow sanding sugar.</p> <p class="rtecenter"> <br /><img alt="" src="https://ninjabaking.com/sites/default/files/tray-of-muffins.jpg" style="width: 481px; height: 350px; " /><br />  </p> <p> <br /> If you wish to join the <a href="http://http://bakerstreet.tv/muffin-monday/">#MuffinMonday</a> fun visit Baker Street for details.
