yum
it was a little too hot for me to knit yesterday so what did i do instead? fired up the oven. smart.
it was worth it. the cupcakes were yummy! i picked up this cookbook at joanns and used a 40% off coupon. i have to say the recipes in here are really great. and unique. this one was a butter cupcake (cake flour makes it so moist and light!) with sticky chocolate frosting. the frosting would have turned out better had i not made it on an 80 degree day where it didn't set up quite right. i also substituted cocoa powder for the chocolate so the frosting is really dark. but you know what? it has a can of condensed milk in it. yah, they aren't bad ;)
and i want to say thank you to pink dandelion. she sent me the sweetest thank you gift. i made her one of my dandelion prints in pink a short while ago. take a peek, i love the card she made and the bag is adorable. thank you!
seattle is having the best weather so i am headed out to a farmers market now with my friend. have a great day!

ok, i want your job. you know the one where you work from home and take time to go to the farmer's market.
thanks for the head's up on the cupcake book. i'm going to check out my local joann's and see if i can find it there. i have a friend who has a birthday coming up.
did you watch Martha Stewart when she made the egg white cup cakes. I love that book. I have to get a copy.
What yummy cupcakes! I've got to make 30 cupcakes for my son's school on Friday, and they will not be as good as that. Good enough I should say!
What yummy treats! Enjoy that beautiful weather.
I have that cupcakes book and I love it!
OMG I have wanted that book for some time now. I MUST get it. I saw it first at Crate & Barrel and swooned. Did you see the cupcakes Martha made on her show a week or so ago for the Sweet 16 party? They were AMAZING!
I'm a big fan of that cupcake cookbook. And cake flour is definitely the key!
Hmm...cupcake books at Joanns? Very cool. I'm addicted to all things cupcake, and that book looks like a good one. Thanks for the review!
OK, this is completely random, but in googling "mini clapotis" I found your blog (which I love and will peruse in more depth later!). Where did you get the "mini" pattern (I hear it's somewhere!) and what is that fabo yarn that you used?? Thanks for the info.
