cupcake.

Ever since having the baby, I've watched a lot of Food Network.  Not a little now and then.  A lot.

And I've decided that I really enjoy baking.  Whether it be some poppyseed bread, banana bread, cupcakes, cookies, candy...  For Christmas I gave candy as gifts, although I'm not sure that people consider homemade candy a gift - but I consider it a delicacy.  

Anyways for Christmas I asked for cake decorating tips.  And not only did I get a wide variety of those, but I also got a fantastic book, colors, and all the stuff I'd need for piping little creations. (Thanks Mom!) 

My 1st attempt was on waxed paper, and was BOORRRINNG.  So Matt "suggested" that I make him some cupcakes (I'm on the diet, remember?), and decorate those.  So, I did.  I tried out some various patterns,  The white ones are the result of me getting tired, running out of colored icing and calling it a day.
















OH, and on a side note,  Matt has given me a 'pass' for tonight, and I'm going to a cake decorating class at Michaels!!  I'm excited, although have some guilt about being gone from Miss Muffit and missing her bedtime.
