Class Begins!!!!

When I started this blog I indicated that I was going to start a new hobby- cupcake decorating. Although I dabbled on Easter with my Easter basket cupcakes...which I was very proud of myself for, I still need a little training. Well I'm super pleased and excited that I'll be taking my first decorating class tomorrow (Sunday). It's a beginners class in cake decorating, and of course you ALREADY know I'm go in there thinking I'm the HBIC because of my Easter baskets! HHMMM....maybe I should simmer down! Ok, well I'm going to chalax a bit, but rest assure there will be pics and new post of what happened. With all that's happening right now I'm glad I'm starting something new to take my mind off of things. God willing I will become awesome at this and maybe it will go somewhere, but for now I'm good with practicing.



FYI: Tast testers and honest opions needed!

Time To Grow Up!

I must say it is time for us to all GROW UP! I feel like if you are over the age of 25 you should began to handle your situations differently. Yes, it can be a process for us all...me included. Your approach to situations in your life will either lead you in a great direction to resolve and be able to handle more difficult situations that will arise in your life or it can lead you down a path of destruction...not only for you but those around you. You could be sabotaging relationships and not even know it, or maybe you do and are not mature enough to be considerate or care about other peoples feelings decides your own. I guess then, that would make you a selfish person. *shrug* Don't get me wrong I still have a lot of learning to do about myself but as I get older I try not to make the same mistake I did before. How does the idiom go? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
I say all this to say, as problems arise in your life approach it lightly, anaylis it, resolve it, and move on. If you don't like how your life is going, ask yourself why and can it be adjusted in any way. If you hate your job, figure out what you would be happy doing and if possible move on to better pastures. Not pleased in your relationships (friends/GF/BF) figure out why, who/what is the problem, and can it be resolved or salvaged???...talk to that person and let them know how you feel and your final dession on what and where this friendship/relation will go. We all need closer, without it how can you resolve or repair the next issue/problem?!?!

My First Time

So as I said I wanted to try my hand at cupcaking. Yesterday I ventured out and tried it. Yes it was box, yes it was canned frosting..but so what, you have to start somewhere...right? I decided to make cupcakes Easter baskets, which I thought would be easy for a first timer like myself. I baked the cupcakes as normal, added a little green dye to my vanilla frosting (for grass) and set up my candies...I was ready to roll!! Since yesterday was Easter I had been chosen to bake the macaroni and cheese for our family dinner, so I did that as my soon to be master piece was cooling. I wanted to use a frosting bag to decorate them but soon realized that, that was NOT going to work. So I put the frosting on as normal, added my little Starburst jelly beans, and here's were my problem came in....the recipe didn't tell you how to apply the licorice handle. Just my luck, right? Soooo, I did what any person would do, I attempted to jam them into the cupcakes...well that didn't quite work out for me. I then grew a brain and cut slits on each side of the cupcakes, which did make it A LOT easier to insert the licorice (Twizzler pull apart candy)...dabbed a little more frosting around the handle and TAAA-DAAA they were finished. Now in my excitement and running late (as always) I forgot to take a picture, but this is what they looked like...just imagine it with frosting instead of coconut.
BTY...the family LOVED them and thought they were cute...that could be a bias opinion but I'LL TAKE IT!!
