Life is crazy and has had some unexpected twists and turns lately so the old blog has been on the backburner until things calm down. I *hope* to have some exciting news in the not so distant future (no baby announcements, don't get excited) so stay tuned (and pray for us!). I am not getting my hopes up but God has brought us to this situation for some reason and I'm looking forward to seeing why!
In the meantime, I thought I would share some cupcakes I made three bazillion years ago a couple of months ago that were delish and a fun new experience for me. I started the post shortly after making them and then forgot about it. Ha. No play-by-play on this one, just go check out the website I found the recipe on. Great instructions there, if you're interested.
Ohhhh yeahhhh....
Hubby has his business class on Tuesdays and all the students share a meal together before class, sort of potluck-style. He ( I ) usually signs up for dessert and I decided to try something new. I love to cook and bake but I have never ever made homemade cake OR homemade frosting. THIS seemed liked as good of a recipe to start with as any :)
If you want to give this one a try, keep a couple of things in mind. First off, homemade cake is usually a bit drier than boxed mix. I thought this one was pretty moist, but they were best the day I made them. Leftovers were... eh. Second, you may or may not love the chocolate cinnamon frosting. I thought it was yummy and imagined it to be delish with a pumpkin-type cupcake, but some who tried it did not care for the addition of the cinnamon.

I loved making these and sharing them with Adam's class and some of my friends, and I can't wait to make homemade cake again! I love knowing exactly what's in my cake, as opposed to boxed mixes (although, I always have a couple on hand for last-minute desserts). Thanks for honey & jam for the recipe and inspiration!
PS...these are NOT low-fat. But they have eggs in them so they are an excellent source of protein. :)
