Well, hello and Happy Independence Day America!!
As you can see, I was a busy beaver yesterday...I love to bake but haven't been doing much of it lately. Well, I'm getting tired of doing, Not Much so, I decided, the other day, to make some Independence Day cupcakes for Sami to carry down south to her mom's house. Well...I promise I will NEVER AGAIN complain about the price of a cupcake EVER again!!Hahaa...good Lord people!! First, I had to run to town...you know...'cause I needed dark navy color gel...a pan...etc., then I had to round up all my special tools (you know you have to have special tools...:O0) Then, find what I needed, looking in cabinets, closets, drawers...find a recipe I liked...how to work the new icing tips...then get busy making them!Uggggg….took a while! Bakers EARN EVERY SINGLE DIME!!
Anyway, they turned out good...loved the way a gel coloring works SO much better than liquids. Isn't the blue cupcake a pretty shade?? If I'd used a liquid color, they would have been a greenish brownish color on the outside! And did you EVER see a messier kitchen???Hahaaa...omg...
So...I know we can't eat everything I bake so I enlist the help of my granddaughter, Samantha, to come get 3/4ths of things and carry them off to friends or co workers. It works. I get to bake and they get to eat...simple. I've had request to bake things for money before and who knows...I might let a donation or two start creeping in...The Blue Christmas at the police station, helps needy families with presents for the kids...I'll just save it and donate...
Well, hope you all have a fun and safe day and be careful of those darn fireworks around you pets!! Scares them sometimes, literally, to death!
Later Guys!
