As promised, I baked my first batch of cupcakes today. I chose the first recipe in the book...the Golden Vanilla Cupcake. Sounds magical, doesn't it? Well, it turned out less than so, but not bad. Hopefully the next 30 batches will rise more and stick to the wrapper less. I ate three of them in 5 minutes...not because I like to gorge myself on sweets (hehe. Even though I do!), but because I couldn't get a sufficient mouthful with half of it still clinging to the liner! According to the book, that happens when the eater isn't patient enough to let the cupcake cool all the way before bingeing. Oops.
Just out of the oven.
Fluffy Buttercream Frosting made from an alarming amount of shortening, butter, and sugar. Mmmm. Heart Healthy.
Complete masterpieces for Day 1. Funny looking little things, aren't they? Notice the sloppy one on the bottom right corner. That was the first one frosted. Goes to show I can improve with practice!
