Cupcake Trilogy

All About Cupcakes

So, I'm in love with making cakes and cupcakes now...I love experimenting with flavors and frosting designs. I spend half the day baking and the other half distributing to friends and family (my guinea pigs :o)) to get feedback.

For the cupcakes below I tried the recipe behind the Hersheys Cocoa box. I read great reviews about it and well..it WAS really great..very moist and scrumptious!

A Sweet Journey

Inspired by my mom and derived by my sweet tooth, I entered this sweet world of baking when I was very young. At the time, I wasn't into baking cakes as much as making other yummy desserts. My love for cake baking actually started not too long ago when (after being unemployed for over a year) I decided to take my baking passion to whole 'nother level. I took a few culinary cake decorating classes and the rest (as they say) is history. Now, I can't imagine life without cakes, cupcakes and other yummy desserts. I've put my IT degree to good use ;o). Currently, I have a home-based business but my dream is to open my very own cozy little bakery where every craving meets satisfaction!

Here's a peak at some of my stuff...Enjoy :)
