Roller coaster Friday

Today was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Because of this I decided the perfect way to end the night would be with this two ingredient fudge. Of course since I am new to baking/making desserts I did not have either of the two ingredients. I had to make my own icing and use bakers chocolate. Since I was over the ingredient title I figured why not throw in some peanut butter. I CANNOT wait for it to finish setting!

Today I also found out I will be baking my first gender cake. I have several pregnant friends right now, one of which was part of my emotional day, and another who will be finding out the sex of her baby on April 4th. When she finds out the sex I will be baking either a pink or blue cake, covering it in icing, and taking it to work the next day for our team to cut into and find out what she is having!! I love this idea and am super excited to be a part of it!

Happy weekend :)

Cupcake fun

Last night I took it upon myself to make these cupcakes. In case you do not know me, I do not bake. Cooking I love, but baking is a rare occurrence. First I mixed the cake batter, then sectioned into bowls, and colored.



Then I layered the batter into the cupcake liners as best I could.



The biggest bummer of this project was that I found out I only have ONE cupcake pan. This meant in between each round I had to refrigerate the batter and then stir it up again to make it warm and able to layer.



This is what they looked like after baking. The inside was even better...



But the best part, was that this little girl had fun cupcakes to share with her friends today.


I took the extras to work with me, and have actually been informed I am making them for a friends wedding in July. You can bet I will be getting more pans before then!
