my cupcakes are moist and delicious. men love my cupcakes.

I kinda love the days when I don't even leave my apartment but still have an enjoyably productive day. I indulged in my fairly new weekend habit of waking up and rather than getting right up, lounging for a bit and reading my way out of bed. Shortly after that, my super awesome aunt called and despite my semi-hatred of chatting on the phone, we spent nearly two hours catching up on life's happenings. After some more reading, some cleaning up of the DVR, and some laundry, I said to hell with the unseasonably warm 70 something° weather and got my bake on.

Although the batter resembles cooked squash,

it baked up right nice and morphed into pumpkin spice cupcakes.

Not only was this the first time I'd made cupcakes that didn't start off as powder in a box but it was also the first time making my own frosting. The recipe makes far more than what's needed for one batch of cupcakes so I'll have to find something else to whip up that will taste good with it. And it will take a little bit of experimenting to get a consistency I'm really happy with but for my first time out, I was quite satisfied with my brown sugar cinnamon cream cheese frosting.

Slap that on some of those naked-looking cupcakes above and voila...

Tasty homemade cupcake-y goodness!
