the heart of baking

i love baking. you have no idea.
i made cupcakes and cookies today.
i really wanted to go kind of extravagant
with these cupcakes, but the thing is since
it is a pot luck, i know i should go simple
because i don't want a food that would be
considered a delicacy to get slammed into
the ground..

i made chocolate cupcakes.. but i wanted to
make chocolate ganache. or make a chocolate
mousse cupcake.. i feel like it would have been
delicious... but probably get stared at and walked
by and get left untouched..

but i intend to play with the icing a bit! david suggested
that i just make a vanilla icing and put slices of strawberries
on top... i think i may do that for the regular sized cupcakes,
but for the baby cupcakes i think i will stick to normal icing
and sprinkles...

haha.

and i made chocolate chip cookies with semi-sweet chocolate
chips and white chocolate chips to give it a teensy twist. i wanted
to make it with those, and add butterscotch chips as well to kick
it up even more, but like i said before... it's a pot luck. going
fancy isn't the best idea.

one of these days i will cook for a small group of friends.
go all out and crazy.

i am happy.
love you.
