Sweet Cakes Cupcakery

Before we had the kids, I took a cake decorating class with my friend, Aileen. Aileen continued on making cakes. In fact she's made a couple of wedding cakes! She's awesome! I didn't continue with the cakes because, well it's stressful! Ask Aileen, she'll agree. Ask her about the time I called her at midnight because I was having a cake dilema.

Anyway, since I got my Kitchen Aid Mixer last Christmas, I've been baking up lots of cupcakes in my kitchen. Cupcakes I can handle. No need to decorate too much. I can focus more on the taste and there's no need to mention that they're much smaller than a cake. So, I have a dream of opening a cupcakery (a bakery selling just cupcakes) sometime in my life, Lord willing. But that is a huge undertaking. So in the mean time I'm just baking cupcakes for my family and friends. I started a blog titled, "Sweet Cakes Cupcakery". You can find it under the "for our tummy rumblies" section on the right column. Here I'll be posting some of my cupcake adventures. If you'd like to visit me there, you're welcome to.

Here's a picture of the cupcake my friend Jenell and I made this afternoon. It's a chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The ones I sent home with Jenell for her husband, Matt, had white vanilla buttercream. The ones here I tinted pink with sprinkles.

So yummy! I'm going to eat one right now....mmmm!
