Since I went back home to Springfield, MO, for a visit this weekend, the cupcaking was placed on hold. Everyone at work has been itching to try my new concoctions, so tonight was the night!
I got all of my supplies out and ready on the counter, and was going to make the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe that seemed to win the popularity vote. After putting in the butter and sugar, I cracked the first egg...and it was hard-boiled! I ran out of eggs last week and saw that my roommate had a carton left, so I just figured I'd borrow three. IT'S NO GOOD WHEN THEY ARE BOILED! So, like any good baker, I ran to the fridge and did some digging. I had just a teensy bit of egg beaters left, so I added it, along with the other ingredients. Oh. My. Gosh. It was so stiff, there was no way it was going to go into the pan. So, I started adding milk. And more milk. More. Still more. It finally started getting a bit more malleable, but then started looking....funky. Great. My first botched batch.
I put it in Pinky anyway to see what would happen...is it possible that they are the most divine cupcakes ever created? I think it IS possible! I couldn't believe it. Not knowing what I'm doing/improvising has it's merits! We'll see what everyone thinks tomorrow. I might try my hand at decorating... pictures both good and bad to follow. HAPPY CUPCAKING!
