So, I decided to make Strawberry cupcakes from one of my favorite cookbooks, Sweets: Soul Food Desserts and Memories. I bought this cookbook on a whim and it was the best purchase ever. The book has awesome recipes and even better family stories. It’s worth adding to your collection.
I also decided to be adventurous and try a cooked frosting. I got the recipe from the Whimsical Bakeshop cookbook, another awesome book, and was actually really simply. The only thing I will do different is purchasing a food thermometer.
While the cupcakes were baking, I caught a few minutes of the new show on WE "Raising Sextuplets", it’s amazing to me that this lady had 6 babies and is now training for a marathon. I am officially a fat lazy bum!!! Its time to get off my fat booty and actually do something with myself. I mean if this lady can work full-time and raise 6 small children and still train for a marathon, there is no excuse for my behavior.
OK first of all i also got that whimsical bakeshop book for my mom a few years ago and i think it's awesome too. second, are you making cupcakes for the wedding in lieu of a wedding cake or are they having both? nowadays some people are JUST having cupcakes which i think is a little weird unless they are like amazing. ok third screw the chick on raising sextuplets. marathons are like super overrated. i think exercise is cool but like u do not have to train for a marathon to be healthy!
ReplyDeleteoh, jon and kate's apparently not the only sextuplets..

ReplyDeletethose cupcakes look great, As far as finding time to working out...1)She is not a single parent she's married, 2)I'm sure the show is giving her some time of help, 3)Its never easy to get in shape you have to take one day at a time...Oh, its extremely hot in Atlanta also
