I am not a writer. Which also means that I am not a blogger!
Now for the big but....
BUT!
I have a new thing for cupcakes and now I have a new blog for cupcakes.
I don't remember where the idea to start doing this came from... and the only thing I can think of is the hectic-ness (is that a word??) of my daily routine putting strange inspirations in my over-stimulated mind. I always think of the "This is your brain on drugs" posters, except more accurately, "This is your brain on 22 credit-hours and a job". I like it!
Baking is now my outlet! I love the creative aspect of it. I started watching food network on occasion. Absolutely love Worst Cooks in America. Chopped is a lot of fun too. Then I saw Cupcake Wars and Sweet Genius. Well, only the previews for Sweet Genius, but that almost counts, right?
My parents made a lot of cakes while I was growing up. They were all sorts of shapes, usually correlating with a recent event or a then-current obsession. I will have to ask for pictures of those cakes. Everyone loved them. Now I wish I paid more attention to the tricks of the trade.
From here on out, most of my posts will be trials of new creations. I will include the recipe and directions on how they were made for those interested. If anyone has any new ideas, please let me know!
Ok, now I'm excited.

This just proves you never know what childhood experience will influence your adult children. Making a "custom" birthday cake in the theme of what the child was interested in at the time was our tradition. It's pretty awesome to see Breanne take it to the next level in artistry. Breanne you are so clever and industrious. We are very proud of you! Always and Forever!!
