CUPCAKES


Sheridan and I have a favorite show to watch on the Food channel called CUPCAKE WARS. We love watching bakers make crazy flavored and fancy decorated cupcakes to beat the clock and win a contest with 1000 cupcakes and huge displays.

Sheridan and I both received cupcake cookbooks for Christmas and Richard finally drew the line last week when he told Sheridan she couldn't watch the show if she didn't start MAKING some cupcakes.


We've now completed three rounds of cupcakes...the first was our FAVORITE by far. Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter frosting and fancy decorations. I agreed to make them early one morning if she would allos us to make the cake from a box and then we made the icing from scratch.




Second came Oreo cupcakes, and these were Lauren's favorite. Today we tried Pink Lemonade...these are okay, but not chocolate, and not sweet enough to be a favorite. More to come, I'm sure.
