I am a person that has a hobby du jour. Yep, I'll be all into one thing until something else catches my eye. I think I have extracurricular ADD. I was into knitting until I got some scrapbooking stuff. Which I was into until I got some other things, and so on, and so on. Well, today it's cupcake making. Yep, I decided to make cupcakes for my youngest's birthday party which is in two days. I tried a recipe test (thankfully) before the big day to see if they were at least edible. They turned out eh. The kids were kind at least saying they were "okay." I think this means rather gross but at least I taught them well and they spared my feelings. Why this sudden obsession with cupcakes? I blame this lady for making me think I could actually do this. I do have the backup plan, a.k.a. Duncan Hines, in the pantry in case I totally screw this up. I must say that the cake part turned out okay but the ganache was a bit much. I think too much dark chocolate is a bad thing. Think I'll go for semi-sweet for the actual event. We'll see. I've even thought about trying for marzipan decorations. Maybe something like this. Too ambitious? Nah. If you happen to see a mushroom cloud rising over southwest Florida, it's probably me trying to make more cupcakes.

I give you so much credit for baking something from scratch let alone baking something in general. I can't even remember the last time I baked any kind of desert. I'm such a lazy sap it's not even funny! So all I have to say is YOU GO GIRL! You tried, so feel good about that even if they didn't taste great hehehehe!
