Bringing cupcakes to every potluck at work has labeled me "the cupcake lady". I think people may think I'm a little weird or maybe even lacking creativity for doing this, but that doesn't stop them from devouring them. Although there wasn't a potluck, I got industrious and I made vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing last week and took them to work for who I'm now calling my "guinea pigs". I made everything from scratch including a new recipe for buttercream icing. I picked up some pastry bags and icing tips a week or two ago and wanted to experiment my ametuer skills with decorating. I had never made buttercream icing before so I had no idea what to expect other than supersweet stuff. The icing started out nice and fluffy but after I finished my 8th cupcake it seemed to break down and run. I added some food coloring to make a batch of blue, purple and green icing. I let the cupcakes cool so I don't know if it was the heat from my hands making it melt or the food coloring making it melt. No one seemed to care about that because they were so tasty! All the while I thought they weren't my best but everyone loved them. I think they actually cheered everyone up! Afterward they all emailed me and said thanks for the afternoon pick me up. Fridays are officially cupcake days and this is how I'll either get them hooked or sick of my cupcakes haha. I think this week it will be hummingbird or strawberry, but with cream cheese icing. Any suggestions on flavors are welcome just email me.
That's how to get a dog to sit!
