Cupcakes.... coming soon

Hey everyone-
Finally got the baking bug again. I started my paperwork to get my Food Cottage license and hopefully within the week will be mailing in my application. Keep your fingers crossed.

I also found my new favorite store... Kitchen Kneads. Unfortunately it's right down the street from me. You would think this is a good thing... well the bad thing is now I can run over there and spend more of my money. But they had a lot of the extract flavorings I've been looking for. Hopefully they give discounts to business owners... I'll be asking soon.

New flavors coming soon:
Pina Coloda
Lime Rickey
S'more

2009- What a start

Well 2009 hasn't been to great to me this year. I started off with an amazing birthday celebration. 30 of my closest friends joined me at Rooster's Brewery. The one that I especially wanted to be there didn't make it. But I did at least get to talk to him. Less then a week later he passed away, along with my grandmother. It's been rough. The desire to bake is not really there.
I'm hoping that if I start baking again it will help things get better. Healing will take time. The passing of my friend is definitely God's will. He is now a whole person who can celebrate life. I'm a little jealous that he gets to be up there partying with God and Christ. But in the mean time I'll stay here and party it up with cupcakes.
I have an amazing cupcake drawing he drew me. H drew it as a tattoo but it wasn't quite what I wanted. Now when I look at it I realize it's exactly what I want. So hopefully here in the near future I'll be adding to my tattoo collection. Don't worry I'll post pics.
This weekend I'll be baking some chocolate peanut butter cupcakes w/ Reese's in the middle. These are fun to make. I'm also going to tackle some dark chocolate cupcakes. Per a co-worker's request. Not a huge dark chocolate fan so I'll have to come up with a creative frosting. Maybe marshmellow?
Here's to 2009 getting better and hopefully it'll in with a bang.
