I did it! I created a batch of cupcakes from scratch. Woot!

Now, let me tell you, it was MESSY. I mean cocoa powder everywhere, grains of sugar littering the floor. (Note to self: clean as you go next time) Such a fun time though.

I came back from Auburn today after a great weekend full of friends, tailgating, Auburn football, and such. More details on that in another post.

Back to my proud moment. I found the recipe from this bad-ass blog (click on it!) I chose to do a rich flavored cupcake, so I chose the Devil's Food Cupcake with a Chocolate Buttercream Icing. BUT I decided to add my own style to it, so I chopped up some fresh strawberries and added it in when I whipped up my icing.

I would post pictures, but alas, my camera is still m.i.a. (even after unpacking). No bueno pero there's nothing I can do about it.

As for right now, I'm going to crash. I'm absolutely exhausted.

Til next time!

SO delicious. I'm definitely proud of my baking skills (after all, I needed to redeem myself from the microwave incident..)
