You may have read from my last post that I wasn't feeling very good today... After yesterday's euphoria, I guess I just couldn't keep up anymore. And I realized an important fact : I need to bake, and create and play with sprinkles! I hadn't planed to make anything today, and I just felt so empty. I felt like I couldn't give my daughter what she needed because I was feeling too down... she must have sensed it because she was rather difficult. It's not that I didn't want to do anything, but because we are having guests over tomorrow evening, I had planned to make them in the morning. I felt they needed to be super fresh. But I couldn't wait anymore, and I am so happy I didn't because in the time I was making these, I felt so much better. It's almost therapeutic to bake. Psychiatrists would be out of a job in no time if others started baking more, I'm sure! Besides, I have never ever made a cupcake that wasn't just as good a day old. I find some of them get even better, like the ingredients blend in more together and create a perfect unit. Like leftover shepard's pie! Isn't that always even better on the next day? Back to baking though...this is my 3rd try at finding the perfect vanilla cupcake. Tonight, still warm, they tasted slightly too eggy-so I will probably keep this recipe as my vanilla favorite, and take out 1 egg! I took my leftover buttercream and put some tinted coconut on one cupcake and tinted the buttercream purple for the others and added sprinkles! I think it came out wonderfully girly! They definitely cheered me up!
I agree, leftover curry is the same! Cupcakes look great, glad they cheered you up, just looking at them cheered me up too! Rozanne
ReplyDeleteYay! I sort of wanted to write that at the end of my post-like "hope they cheer you up too!!" But I didn't want to presume my cupcakes would cheer anyone up..!!! Thank you!!
