Testing ... Testing ...

Well ... Today was finally cool enough to bake! 

Thank god!

This 105* weather sucks!

And it's not even SUMMER yet!!

Fml!!

=(

I decided to tweak my Vanilla Cupcake recipe and use lemon juice instead of vanilla ...

There's 20 more cupcakes to add to my bucket list adventure ... 

20 cupcakes closer to 1000!!

=)

I got to use my purty cupcake liners today! 

I love them!!

I also proceeded to wound myself in this whole baking process! 

I stepped back to grab the baking powder and OH MAN!

Broken piece of glass right in the foot! OUCH!! 

='(

Wasn't a lot of blood but it was a lot for ME!

I freaked out my bestie!

Hehe

It wasn't INTENTIONAL!

To everyone that knows me ... They know I don't handle blood very well.

Like at all ...

Blood = Blackouts/Lightheadednsss

Stuffs like that.

No bueno!!

Anywho ...

The cupcakes just came out!! 

I LOVE when they have perfectly rounded tops! 

=)

Just a little tip ...

When a recipe calls for Cake Flour ...

Use CAKE FLOUR!

Lol 

The whole point of making these lemon ones was to try making them with all-purpose flour instead to see if there's a major difference.

There is!

They're not as fluffy.

Still yummy ...

Just not the consistency that I personally prefer.

Peeps at work won't care. Lol

They'll eat them anyways!

I even dyed the frosting bright yellow! 

Ha!

They're so pretty with those cupcake liners! =)

Nice SPRING-Y flavor and colors! 

=)

I filled these ones with frosting as well.

Gotta make my mama a personal box just for her.

(She doesn't like frosting filled cupcakes)

Yea ... Don't ask. Lol

Well ... That's it for now friends! 

Gotta go clean up this mess of mine and find a movie to watch!

Hmm ... 

What to watch ... What to watch .........

Spring time!!

Wow I haven't posted in a long time. Lol

Haven't really made anything new until recently. 

Decided to change the way I bake and I'm sooo glad I did! 

The cupcakes come out 10x better! 

Moist and yummy

They don't pull away from the liners anymore ...

All smiles over here with that! Lol 

I also added to my Bucket List.

Bake over 1000 cupcakes in one year!

Lots of cupcakes! Haha!

Ill keep you updated with that ...

First batch I made were Vanilla ... 

Oh man!

I've never been able to get a perfect recipe until now! 

And of course i found it on Pinterest! Lol

Here they are!

Yummy and gorgeous! =) 

Lol

I also had a new family member added to my future bakery!

One wonderful woman at my work asked if I wanted it! 

Best part ... It was FREE! =)

Man did I jump on that! Haha

Here she is! Little Miss Sapphire!

Along with my first mixer Olive <3

They both have been put to good use! 

=) 

Lol

Second set of cupcakes I've made for my bucket list project were completely chocolate! =)

Yum!

Got a chocoholic in the house! Haha!

And these were heavenly!

Even got told by someone I work with that it was one of the best chocolate cupcakes she's ever had! 

Music to my ears!! <3

Gorgeous right?!

=)

And absolutely fantabulous!!

Look at the perfectly rounded tops!!

=)

Love that I changed the way I bake! Lol

And last but not least on my little project were Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes <3

Homemade Whipped Cream Frosting and all!!

Stuffed the middles cupcakes with strawberries too!

These were a Mommies Day present for a friend of mine <3 

She loved them!

Well ... That's all for now friends. 

Until my next cupcake adventure ...
