Cupcakes!

This is it...my first blog post. I had thought a lot about what type of blog I wanted to write, and had many great ideas from family and friends. In the end though, I have so many interests that I thought that I would use this blog to write about life, no matter how random it may be. Here you will read about things I love, like hockey, baking and travel to name a few. So the wait is over, and with the holiday season coming up, I thought I'd start out with some cupcakes!

I made these beautiful cupcakes for a luncheon we had at work. To be honest, I was just going to go the lazy route and buy them, but I hadn't baked in a while so I decided to put in the extra effort. It paid off because I made some of the prettiest cupcakes I have ever seen! I used the new Pillsbury Easy Frosting that comes in a can and has a whipped cream-type tip. By starting on the outside of the cupcake and moving in a spiral motion inward, I was able to make these cupcakes that look like roses! It is so simple and you get beautiful results! Afterwards you can add some colored sugar crystals for an added effect.
Happy Baking!
