I am sitting at my kitchen table, letting a fresh batch of cupcakes cool on the counter right now... oh how good they smell! The only problem is, I am trying my best to eat healthy and avoid foods like this. However, the big brown eyes of my youngest daughter Hannah, have persuaded me to break out my kitchen aid mixer and whip up a batch of these dangerously delicious delights!
Today was the first time I have made a cupcake recipe completely from scratch! I have to say that I am quite proud of myself at the moment. After many, many years of being complemented on my delicious cupcakes, I have a little secret to share...every single cupcake I have ever made, has been from a box mix! Eek, there, I said it, I used (notice the use of past tense) to use box mixes! Having a little lick of the batter from the bowl, (which of course, you have to do) has persuaded me to change my ways. Hannah and I had a little bit of fun playing with the icing for the cupcakes...here are my first 2 attempts...
My oldest daughter Bella will be turning 6 next week and I am thinking about how I can make her the tastiest cake known to man-kind. I have several ideas floating around in my head right now and I hope to surprise her on her special day.
I will post a picture as soon as I have finished my masterpiece!
