Last Saturday I was a little bored and felt the need to get up and do something. I must've been hungry, because I decided baking would be the perfect thing to entertain me [knowing fully well that no one else in my house likes sweets and I would be living on cupcakes for the next week...and that would just be horrible, right?]I printed off my recipe, did a quick check of ingredients, and ran off to the grocery store [where I proceded to buy lots of other unnecessary items, like grapefruit juice and iced animal crackers. Those are not part of this recipe. But whatever, I told you I was hungry.]
It seemed like I spent hours making my red velvet creations, but perhaps I was just impatient because I really really wanted to try them. They did not turn out nearly as pretty at the cupcakes pictured above [my cooking is rarely pretty], but they sure are yummy. The icing is the best part. It's hard to go wrong when you mix cream cheese, butter, and lots of powdered sugar.
And yes, I have been eating cupcakes as part of every meal.

I'm the same way. I like to bake, but Husband isn't fond of sweets ... so guess who gets to nibble on them all week? Moi!
Oh my~ that red velvet cupcake looks scrumptous! My cooking doesn't turn out looking pretty either, I think I wear myself out before I get to the presentation.
This post reminds me of the time I went out and bought a gingerbread house kit (the one that's prebaked with the icing mix and candies) I was super ecstatic to start it, having these grandiose images in my head. Smiling widely to myself I started... and my grin kept disappearing little by little, until I got fed up and dumped the poor gingerbread house inside the box it came in and squeezed all the leftover icing on top. Of course it leaked all over my hands- I am ashamed just thinking about it. Talk about anger management! I promised myself I will never make a gingerbread house ever again. Only for my friend to phone me an hour later and ask me to make a gingerbread house. LOL
Haha Grace! Yeah I'm kind of eating my cupcakes just to get rid of them at this point. How sad is that? I wish I could get some help around here. You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find people to help you eat cupcakes!
