cupcakes!

I love to bake and eat sweets. equally. I also love Martha Stewart, even though I really want to hate her! Ugh! She probably has a team of expertly trained cleaners/cookers/crafters that put everything together. Either way, I love it all. So, the other day I decided to make Paul, Meredith, and I a little treat of cupcakes. I made a boxed lemon cake (martha is probably squirming) with th
e plan to cut and layer the cakes with raspberry jam like one of Martha's recipes. Staishy made Paul and I some yummy raspberry vanilla jam, which I thought would be perfect! However, apparently Paul thought it was really yummy too, and ate more than I had anticipated. Lesson 1: check stock of food BEFORE starting a cooking project. So I was only able to make a few, but it actually made it really special to eat. : ) With the rest of the cupcakes, I made homemade lemon curd. This is no easy task and the picture is deceiving because it actually didn't taste very good. Thank you Martha for having cute cakes, Paul and Meredith for being my taste testers, and to Staishy for the yummy jam!
