12 Cupcakes in 12 Months


My beautiful mother has many talents, but her strongest (and yummiest) is baking.  The smell of cookies in the oven immediately makes me homesick and warms my heart simultaneously.  It has always been a personal vow of mine to fill our house with as much warm cookie smell as possible.  In my attempt to step up my baking game, I have chosen to take on a new cupcake recipe every month for the next year.  I started in May with a vanilla cupcake with vanilla butter cream frosting.  I chose this one because I thought it would be a good starting point.  My mother's butter cream is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten, so I had pretty big shoes to fill.  I think if she had been here to taste one, she would have been proud.  This month, I'm going to attempt chocolate with whipped peanut butter frosting (Grant's favorite flavors).  More to come!
