I am AWESOME at baking.
I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day, surrounded by family or friends or co-workers or pounds and pounds of rebellious flour.
As was I, on Wednesday (had to work on Thursday). I am happy to report that I successfully cooked my very first turkey, Puerto Rican style, with the neurotic guide of my mother on the phone (wow, phone bill this month will be astronomical). It was DELICIOUS! Like, I'm not kidding you! MMMMMMMMMM
While that fantastic 13 pound was cooking its glorious self, I was baking sweet little cupcakes. This is the second time I've attempted to make them. First time... well, it wasn't quite the success I was hoping. They improved the second time around, and I will not rest until they are as delicious (or close to) as Back in the Day Bakery's out-of-this-world cupcakes. There's just one challenging obstacle in my way...
I suck at baking. I am the ultimate suck. Evidence can be seen in the images below.
Flour is rebellious. It is also hard to take off of your hot pants. But I hear white flour stains are making a comeback in fashion next season.
This is the ground level of the disastrous mess I left in the kitchen.
But in the end, the cupcakes came out allright. Not life-altering, but for the moment, it brought my little soul to happier times.
HELLO THERE PRETTY CUPCAKE!!!! Must say, the frosting is KILLER! mmmmm! I might just eat it by itself like I did the first time. mmmm
