Cupcake wars watch out!!

I mean literally "watch out". I have been binge watching cupcake wars while nursing the little guy in the late night hour and while working on orders for my business that is booming!

I have been wanting to try my hand at homemade cupcakes and from scratch frosting for awhile.  I ruin a cake or cookie mix almost every time.  I didn't even want to attempt homemade while my emotions have been on edge lately. I knew if I screwed them up, which was inevitable,  it would ruin me.

Well I made it passed my four year anniversary of the last time I cut. It has been an extremely hard year especially the last week and its a miracle I am still cut free. WOO HOO!!!

So I decided last night I felt good enough to try my luck at cupcakes.

I found some simple recipes on pinterest and got my mixer out. The batter came together lovely. However I messed up the cook time and they were dry and a little burnt. The frosting said it was a no fail buttercream frosting which would have been perfect. And it did taste good but it was a sugar cookie frosting recipe, not quite what I was hoping for.

When all was said and done they looked delicious. They were edible and my daughter loved them.  I couldn't bring myself to eat more than one.

Ill try again. I just kept thinking of what the cupcake wars judges would have said about em... hehehe.
