I have decided that I love making cupcakes.
I have really gotten into making them since the first of the year, and in the last 6 weeks I have made them for 7 occasions. I buy cake mixes when the are .88 cents or less then I buy several, and put them into the freezer. I also have been shopping at WalMart after each holiday since Christmas and I am buying various sprinkles and cupcake liners after they are marked down. I keep all of my supplies in a covered plastic tub, and I am gaining a nice collection of items to work with. Most of my cake recipes come from The CakemixDoctor
cookbooks that I have collected as well. I love her recipes. You start with a basic cake mix and then jazz it up. I always make homemade frosting and I do not use a recipe for that. I do not know how to do professional decorating, but I purchased a large pastry bag, a large tip and coupler, and after a lesson from my sister I do okay.
These are for an event after church tomorrow, and some will be for our small group which meets tomorrow night.

Very cute. I made Pioneer Woman's chocolate sheetcake for our home group bbq today, but substituted coconut for the nuts. Oh my goodness. It was good. So good that if I don't step away from the leftovers, I'll be wearing a bedsheet as my main form of clothing. It's a really good thing I can't gain weight from just looking at the pictures of the cupcakes you made. They look very yummy.
