I told everyone I was going to Tucson, Arizona and many have asked me but the way things have worked out, I've been in Cupcake Land. This Seattle winter has been characteristically mild and I've enjoyed the many sunny days. My sister bought the Martha Stewart (my niece: why do you call her by her last name?) Cupcake book and we've gone relatively wild. Here's the meringue step of the lemon curd cupcakes we made for my eldest sister's birthday.
And these are clearly Valentine's. In detail: these are Red Velvet covered (and unintentionally infused with) chocolate ganache with melted white chocolate for the hand-written part.
Detail of Valentine's cupcake. And most likely, if you're reading this, I do. :)
My niece in birthday pancake drag.
Baby with "2" pancake. More later. Glad my sister showed me how to locate images on her Mac. How confusing for a Windows girl.
Cupcake land can be a great place to be! :D
