So I took the very little money I had left on my account, and went out to buy the things I needed to make this recipe. Indeed, it was worth it-but just for the lessons I've learned in making them. Lesson number one : just because it's a Martha Stewart recipe, doesn't mean it tastes good (cupcakes), lesson number two : just because a recipe has 5 stars on an internet site, doesn't mean it tastes good (cream cheese frosting), and last but not least, lesson number 3 : watch cat at all times...he broke my big spiders...and those were the ones I liked the most. You will find it in the picture, with an angle at which only the non-broken area is to be seen. Still, I enjoyed making the little figures out of royal icing, on transparent paper (you know the ones they use on projectors?) And now I know they are fragile and they have to dry for a very long time. I also now know that black shiny powder isn't super cute, making lines on a cupcake is something I could definitely get better at and would look really cool and in the end, I just can't go for more than 2 days without baking! Thank God the husband is a sweet tooth, and we both have pretty good metabolisms!! Anyone out there with a really tasty red velvet cupcake recipe? I desperately need one!!
