Frosted Ambitions:Martha Stewart Cupcakes

For my birthday, my mother-in-law gave me a Target gift card (yay!) and of all the fabulous things in the store ('cause it's my favorite store) I decided to purchase the Martha Stewart Cupcake book. Now this is a book that I had had my eye on for a while, perusing the delicate creations and fantastic cover as part of me longs to be Martha-like (i apologize to those who just gagged a little). With its clean crisp photos and lay-out, I could resist no longer and thus happily purchased it.

Now, for those who know me, you know of my delight in baking (and that I'm pretty handy with a whisk and spatula). So I have decided to create each of the cupcakes in the book at a rate of about one per week.

As I do this I want to thank my wonderful sous chef, Jonathan who I know will sigh as I make a mess in the kitchen, delight in the treats I create and help chop, stir, pour and whatnot. You make it so easy. I also want to thank my community group as you will inevitably be the consumers of most of my cupcakes (but at least we know who's bringing snack each week).

And for the rest of you...may it inspire you to eat a cupcake or bake your own.
