Cupcake Mints

   
Yum! Yum! Yum!
 I have these on my desk, and they are actually pretty good.
(Although, they taste nothing like cupcakes.)

Anyway, I just wanted to say...
Happy Thanksgiving,

~The Preparation~

Hello Everyone!
        Today as my feet shuffled down the cool tile of the bright supermarket I started to gravitate towards my favorite isle. The best isle. The shelves are lined with little jars of sugar and sprinkles died to pieces with every food coloring there is, icing hangs in little crinkly plastic bags, birthday candles line the walls (Why? It's the baking section after all), silver cupcake and cake pans hang off their hooks, and the hundred different patterns of cupcake wrappers are all stacked up like russian dolls. I saw the wax candles and immediately thought that in ten, yes ten days is my birthday. I decided a long time ago that I would make mini-cupcakes for my class of thirty-six. I am probably going to use my favorite recipe ever (See here: http://sunnyrubyart.blogspot.com/2012/07/you-are-looking-for-really-delicious.html ) because it is the cupcake girl's tried and true. Back to the story, I was standing in the isle and I spotted these absolutely adorable mini-cupcake wrappers. They have these little pictures of stylized cupcakes wrapped around there edges and on the bottom is a big cupcake that underneath says Cupcakes! Okay, a little bit to stylized but very cute! I got them and am very excited for this is the preparation for my birthday! Preparation is sometimes my favorite part, for example I like making cupcakes more than chewing them. The process and seeing happy people eat them is the best part!
I was very disappointed with this particular store though (I won't mention any names) ahhhemmm- there was no, zip, zero, goose egg, zula, no fondant! I'll post picture of the final cupcakes.

It's me again,

Cool Looking Book #2

Buddy Valastro has been a great inspiration to me. If you don't already know he has a bakery in New Jersey called Carlo's Bakery. You can check his website out right here: http://www.carlosbakery.com/ 
Buddy has three cooking shows, his most famous one is Cake Boss. Someday, I want to actually go to his bakery and taste all of the wonderful thing you always can see him baking. This is one of his books he wrote with, "100 of Buddy's Best Recipes and Decorating Secrets."

Birthday-- Last year

I made these cupcakes for my class last year on my birthday. They were lemon cupcakes with a lemon glaze, and they were decorated with pomegranate seeds. In 19 days it will be my thirteenth birthday!
 I might have to make some new cupcakes...
Happy three-day weekend,
