Strawberries can make or break a cupcake.


After a year of baking, I consider these to be one of my favorite recipes of all time.

I mean, just look at the presentation! I'm a visual person. When I virtually flip through the hundreds of food images in my mind (or in my iPhoto library), the frothy pinkness of this just pops out at me.

As for the flavor... imagine an entire Watsonville strawberry farm evaporating into whipped butter - with you in the cool, sugary center.

The cake base itself has a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a fragrant hint of strawberries - far from the dry cupcake base that often gets tossed after the frosting's licked off. And the frosting - oh, the frosting!

[BAKING] Granola Woes to Carrot Cake


My parents are at work, my grandparents are in Canada, and I find myself alone in the house for the first time in two years. So which room have I been in, for the past two hours?

The kitchen.

Naturally.
