Cupcakin it these days...

So recently I have been baking a ton of cupcakes to try out some recipes that I have found of the Internet being that I told my friend that I would bake cupcakes for her daughters birthday party this weekend. Here are a few observations that I have made in trying all these different recipes for the cup cakes. 1.) if the batter is stiff the cupcake is going to turn out dry, not matter what. 2.) believe them when they say have everything at room temp when you are baking...it really does just turn out better. 3.) the more liquidy the batter is the lighter and fluffier the cupcakes come out. I am still on the search for the perfect vanilla cupcake but I found my chocolate cupcake. I am hoping to impress the guests at the part so that I can generate a little bitty business for the birthday parties around town. I love to bake and have been kicking around the idea of going to pastry school, only thing is that I have to work in order to keep my family fed...bummer huh? LOL, will be back soon with pics and recipes.
