Care for a cupcake, Cupcake?
Because I apparently didn’t have enough cookies and cakes over the last two weeks, I decided that yesterday was a good day to make cupcakes from scratch. Snow day boredom got to me I guess.
I used a recipe from the Cupcake! book that Moah gave me for Christmas. Cupcakes!, by the way, is the cutest recipe book ever. Its pink! Anywho, seeing as I only had the basic cupcake ingredients on hand I decided to go with the standard vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Plus, lets be honest, if I wanted any shot at being successful at this cupcake thing I knew I had to keep things simple.
Want to know the one thing I hate the most when baking (and cooking)? No? Too bad, I’m going to tell you anyways 
- Touching eggs, especially separating whites and yolks, even with gloves on. It makes me cringe. So imagine how excited I was when I realized that the recipe called for 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Yay, egg yolk separating! Ick.
Aside from the egg thing, which I had to have Kev handle, I managed to successfully follow this straight forward and easy recipe without problems. I even managed to perfectly bake them. I know, you were expecting me to tell you I burned them. I didn’t but just wait ‘till next week when I tell you about my cinnamon roll experience.
Expect more cupcakes soon. This book is full of incredible recipes and I apparently now have some confidence that I can actually do something right in the kitchen!
Anyone want to help cleanup?
