So I have come to the realizations that most of the people that I know do
not know much about cooking, so I'm going to give you some hopefully helpful
tips that have helped me on my baking attempts and other things that will be
important in things not to do or you may burst in to flames,(not really but I
thought emphasis would be necessary here).
Tip One: As annoying as this is READ THE
DIRECTIONS ALL THE WAY THOUGHT BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!!! yes yes you have heard that
a million times but really they are not that hard to follow and with the
cupcakes that I am giving you instructions on if you DON'T follow them it will
turn a 10 minute cake mixing sesh into a 45 minute mixing triathlon.
Tip Two: I live in a high altitude state
so there for my baking time will be around 18 min for each batch of cupcakes
but in lower levels you will most likely cook from 13-15 mins.
Tip Three: Please Please Please pay
attention to (*) because I have such a spastic though process that I will
forget things and the (*) will help put in foot notes for more helpful tips.
Now on to Tricks: (Don't worry they are not the mean kinds of tricks that
make you upset like at Halloween)
Trick One: Use
a regular ice cream scoop filled 2/3's up to fill your cupcake papers 2/3's up
in the tins for the perfect cupcakes!
Trick Two: If
you are really a patient person like me(not) and you do not want to wait 10
minutes for your cupcakes to completely cool you can stick them in the freezer
for like 3 minutes and they should be good for frosting right after that.
Trick Three:
Depending on the recipe there will most likely be more frosting than cupcakes,
so some times I double the recipe(I will always give you the single version of
the recipe, so then you can choose if you want more cupcakes, or if you just
want to eat the frosting)

Let the Deliciousness Begin
Hey guys! So for this first post I thought I would just let you know a little bit about my self. My name is
Stasia and I love Love LOVE baking! Baking has always been a big part of my life ever since I was little and my mom would let me "help" her bake. (Funny) I remember that it was like the best day ever when my mom and I would spend a whole day in the kitchen making all kinds of delicious things. It was just a real fun time and some of those things that I know I will remember in to my senile days. When I started this blog I did consider talk all about a variety of baked goods, and in some way that seemed cool but as I thought more about it I really wanted to blog about something that could make a lot of people happy and maybe take them back down memory lane and think about fun things like I do every time I bake, so when I really thought about it there is one thing that I just adore making because there are so many kinds and something just about everyone has experienced at least once in their life time, cupcakes! So from there I couldn’t go against my gut feeling and had to make a blog only about unusual and simple cupcakes that are bound to put a smile on your face. Now that you kind of have a grip on what is going to happen in future blogs I really hope you will come back and share in my wonderful baking adventures.
