oh cupcakes

Well, for those of you who know me, you know I have a minor obsession with cupcakes. I actually recently urchased a cupcake necklace, cupcake earrings, and cupcake panties but that's neither here nor there. It's not even really the eating of the tasty little treats, its the: what can I do with them? I'll admit, to which Martha Stewart would flip her lid over, I'll use boxed cake mixes and canned frosting. Depending on my mood, I'm not so much into the making of the cake as I am the decorating.

 I love to decorate cupcakes.

I really regret that I haven't taken more pictures of the ones I've decorated, but I'm trying to remember to do so whenever I make them. I'm not even sure what it is about a perfectly decorate cupcake, but you have to admit, it's real hard not to like cupcakes.

Last year for my birthday, my boyfriend got me the Martha Stewart Cupcake book. Until then, I really didn't like cookbooks. I thought they were boring and just took up space on a shelf. However, this cupcake book (in my opinion), is second best to only The Bible. It has everything- and oh man, I mean everything- you could ever need to know about making cupcakes.

For those who are curious, or want some seriously good cake and frosting recipes, as well as ideas of how to use, display, present, and store cupcakes, I can't recommend this book enough.

I would check it out if I were you. Unless you have it. Then we would probably get along really well.
