So one of my favorite things is cooking. I've always enjoyed working in the kitchen and find it very theraputic. Now that Luke eats dinner with Parker and me, I've made it my mission to cook real food for our family each night. Family dinners were a part of my growing up and I want the same for my children. We hardly ever dine out anymore. For one it's too expensive and we decided that was one area we could really cut back, and for another, it's never as good as what I can make at home.
I don't used any processed foods. The majority of what I make is organic, whole, unrefined and healthy. I enjoy trying new recipes and lucky for me, my son has never met a fruit or vegetable he doesn't like.
However, he's also never met a sweet treat he doesn't like! I like cooking but I love baking and my new favorite thing is making cupcakes! I've made cakes and cake pops, but I haven't made cupcakes until last week (fancy ones, I mean). My favorite part is decorating. I just think it's so fun to create something so pretty that's also deliciously edible. I decided rather than just posting pics on Facebook, I'd start keeping track of my cupcake concoctions on my blog. Enjoy!
These are strawberry cupcakes dipped in a dark chocolate ganache with fresh strawberry frosting and a chocolate dipped strawberry on top. I made them for a cookout we are going to on Saturday. The cupcake and frosting recipe is from Sprinkles so they should be yummy!
This is a S'mores cupcake-- a graham cracker crust with a graham cracker cupcake, a marshmallow filling, milk chocolate frosting and topped with graham cracker crumbs, a Hershey's mini and a toasted marshmallow.
Chocolate mud cupcake with chocolate frosting and dark chocolate shavings. This was my first fancy cupcake:)
