Yesterday while Ryan was at work I was a busy baker in the kitchen. I baked three dozen cupcakes, from scratch, for the first time ever, for Ryan to take to work today. I do a lot of baking but I've never baked cupcakes from scratch so I was a little nervous that they weren't going to turn out. I made white cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes - both for very different recipes I've collected from one of the many baking blogs I read. Both turned our yummy! I topped them with homemade buttercream frosting - mmm mmm good :-)

| The calm before the storm - I make a mess when I bake!! |
 |
| The white cupcakes look pretty darn good! |
 |
| Mixing up the chocolate cupcakes :-) |
 |
| Woah - that's a lot of buttercream frosting. I did not use all of this but I didn't want to run out half way through frosting the cupcakes! |
 |
| The finished product! Yum!! |
 |
| All packed up and ready for Ryan to take to work with him. |
Ryan: "Hun, do we have any cupcakes at home?"
Ashley: "Yeah, we have three. Why?" I'm thinking that he dropped them and got the frosting all messed up or something
Ryan: "Well, I have this other tupperware with eight cupcakes, and I'll just leave it in the car so that we have some for home." :)
I taste-tested the white cupcake last night and Ryan taste-tested the chocolate one. He must have really liked them since he wanted to hoard those eight cupcakes and bring them home. The last time I made cupcakes from a box mix, we ended up throwing away a bunch of them as they didn't turn out good at all.
Happy Birthday Ryan! I love you!!
