I shouldn’t have eaten one (+) of these cupcakes, that is. I also shouldn’t have taken every opportunity to taste the frosting and the cupcake batter while I was making them. But I did. And now my bathroom scale has been reminding me every morning since.
Andrew’s birthday was last week, and while we had decided that the camera we bought in January was his gift I forgot to give him a card on his birthday. I at least picked it out and purchased it before the day, but I don’t get home from class until 11 p.m. on Wednesdays, and it just slipped my mind. So, I made it up to him with 24 carrot cupcakes color coordinated to match the card.
I should tell you that these cupcakes are unbelievable. I might even say that making these was my most successful baking venture to date.
