Time well wasted...two hours in the kitchen and the cupcakes and icing where disgusting.
It was the dried fruit that ruined the cupcakes. The icing was a flop and I don't know what I did wrong there. It looked deceivingly good.
I've developed the attitude not to get frustrated. It's not a rare event that this happens.
My baking and cooking skills are a work in progress.
As a stay at home mom I don't do the cooking. Like hardly ever. I'm what Daddy calls his Sous-Chef. I'll clean up after him and pour him his wine.
My sister and I try as we may are far from being the next Rachel Ray. Lucky for us we married husbands who cook pretty darn good. I think both of our men figured out early that they better get in the kitchen.
Last week, I aced the banana cookie recipe my sister emailed me. James said it 3 times when he ate the first cookie, "Yummy!" I swear it sounded like he was pleasantly surprised.
Maybe I'm being paranoid.

you make me laugh... but let me tell you they look pretty good! I made ma first cupcakes for Jordan's b'day (we don't do cupcakes where I come from) for his pre-school - and they looked aweful - I blamed Jordan for them ;-) I didn't know you are supposed to use 2 forms so when I poured the ¨stuff¨in they leaked everywhere - they looked like sinking boats! + the deco wasn't great either... I still gave them to him - didn't want to start over. They tasted OK, just a bit embarrassed to bring these over ;-)
lucky, my train cake was way better - all iced with nutella - just great - cheered every body up at the party ;-) happy halloween!! Actually my spooky scary cupcakes would have been awesome for today!
del.
I can cook but I can't bake...nor do I even like to bake. Listen, we can't be amazing at everything now can we???
