272/366 – Abby’s Cupcakes

*Saturday, October 13
There was a cupcake store called “Abby’s Cupcakes” connected to our hotel at SPE. It looked delicious, but we never made it there unfortunately.

These were really more like cupcakes than muffins, but we had them with dinner anyways.

Yesterday my sister and I drove 3 hours to where most of my mom’s side of the family lives. One of our cousins got married today, and yesterday we spent the afternoon baking and frosting cupcakes for the reception.

I had a wonderful day hanging out with my friends (and wedding photographers). We did lots of walking and wandered around downtown Stillwater, which of course included stopping in Mara-Mi to look around.

My Recent Obsessions

For some reason I have been on a huge baking/cooking kick lately. Usually I just slap something together for meals, like a typical college student. But, for the past few weeks I have been cooking myself real, delicious meals. And I have been experimenting with my own recipes too. It has been an adventure, and I think it is turning into some sort of therapy for me.

This was a pizza I made for dinner the other night, and goodness it was delicious. One of the best pizzas I have had, if I may be so vain.

Last week I found a recipe online for cupcakes for two. I thought it would be perfect for me and my new obsession with baking. I tried them out tonight, and they were wonderful! It was the first time I had made cupcakes from scratch, and I played with the recipe a little to make them funfetti cupcakes instead of plain vanilla. The frosting is also made from scratch, but that is a given with me.

Besides my baking and cooking spree, I have had a little obsession with plants and growing things. Grass seed is what I had available, so I have 3 different containers growing grass at the moment. The tins, which have been up on my blog recently, and this glass, and a big pot of it. I have just been craving color in my life recently I guess.
