As many of you know, I enjoy baking.
I really like to make cupcakes.
I think my fascination started when I had my very first
Sprinkles Cupcake
and fell in love. It was moist, rich, the frosting was fabulous
and I loved the way they looked. So Chic!
Last year sometime I was in Barnes and Noble
and saw this adorable cookbook.
I didn't buy it right then but I
thought about it days and finally decided that I had to have it.
It's called Hello,Cupcake!
Isn't it so cute and very clever???
And yes, some are difficult but with practice and patience
anything is possibly, Right?
Well, after $40 bucks,
running around town trying to find
chocolate covered sunflower seeds and white circus peanuts,
(which I never found, so I had to use orange ones
and dip them in white chocolate)
tons of green frosting, and almost no sleep
(because I wanted my first attempt to be perfect)
I made the cutest little Bunny Holes.

(they are definitely not as cute as the picture
in the cookbook, but they're cute! If I do say so myself.)
After all of this, I have decided that I want to do
the whole Julie/Julia girl and make everything in the cookbook.
Only problem, it's going to take me forever
with there being several things for
Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
I can only make so many cupcakes
and with it costing as much as it did,
I would rather spend the money on shoes or something,
not cupcakes. (I am still trying to get in shape,
that many cupcakes would not be good for me)
That being said I am totally going to do this, it should be fun.
Maybe by the time I am done doing this I
will be ready to open my own Bakery/Cafe.
Now, that would be fun!
