I am the first to admit I’m not the most organized cook in the world, and ok, I’ll even go so far as to say I’m not the neatest–especially when it comes to baking. But after weeks of mixing, baking, frosting, and forcing my family to taste-test cupcakes til they all begged for mercy, I’m pretty sure I’ve taken myself to a new level of clutter and grime.
frosting on my cabinet door
225 cupcakes later (or at least it felt like 225)—-
my kitchen is—how can I describe it—My kitchen and everything in it is — sticky. My dogs are sticky, the goldfish bowl is sticky, the people who casually waltzed through the room on their way to other places are sticky, the walls, floor, countertops, and cabinets (see photo above) are sticky, and I am sticky. Worst of all, it appears that this stickiness might be permanent. I’ve scrubbed the kitchen and bathed the dogs. My feet still stick to the tile, and one cabinet door appears to be permanently stuck shut. Marathon cupcake making is not something I would recommend even to my worst enemy. (I’m lying–definitely to my worst enemy)
That said, the long miserable search for the perfect wedding garden cupcakes is over. Between my recipe testing and Teresa’s mother’s recipe testing, the cupcakes have been chosen–I think…….
(This was not the fun adventure I thought it would be!)
one of my many cupcake failures
But, now that it’s over, I guess it was worth it.
White Chocolate Cupcake
No more worries that Dave and Teresa might make good on their threat to buy pre-made cupcakes at Target.
Chocolate Cupcake
No more searching for the right bakery.
Strawberry Cupcake
It’s all on me and Teresa’s mother, Lee. OMG, Did I just say it’s all on ME and LEE??
I’ll post the recipes as soon as my heart finds it’s way back into my chest.
