Hello, Cupcake has arrived!

I guess the one good thing about the web and blogging is that you have a history of your thoughts, projects and progress and so this weekend, my first foray into cupcake madness began. I spent the weekend, baking and decorating cupcakes found in the Hello, Cupcake! book and the results were mixed. The good news, I learned a lot about technique and found that you have to follow the recipe to a T! I guess unlike cooking, sometimes there is no substitute!

I guess it goes to show that no matter how much experience you have, or how easy it looks, you should never stop in the pursuit of the prefect cupcake! here is a photo of my most successful venture: the Spaghetti and Meatballs cupcake platter! Let me know what you think! I also tried a few others but I am not super pleased with the results but I'll keep on baking until I get it right or my husband exploded from QA testing too many cupcakes!

Cupcakes, here I come!

Since I am new to this blogging thing and this is my first post, I thought I'd share a little more about me and what I hope to do here. Since I love cupcakes (have I mentioned that?) it is my hope, dream and goal to create some of the coolest cupcakes you have ever seen! I hope that the text and the photos in these pages will serve as an inspiration to all of you out there who wonder "gee, can I do that!?" The answer is YES YOU CAN! I'm no professional, just someone who loves cupcakes and with a little patience and a lot of practice, you'll get there. I promise!

So thanks for joining me on this journey and be sure to check back often as I plan on sharing my trials and tribulations with all of you in every last delicious detail!
