On being a domestic goddess

For those of you who know me- you know that I am lacking in the domestic skills department just a little bit. However, one of my big strengths is baking. I have been known to whip up a batch of some swirly brownies every once in awhile ;) Well.... that being said, while I might fall short in the cooking department, I normally don't have many mishaps when I bake....

Until about one year ago. I was going to see Krob for her birthday, and decided to make a batch of Sprinkles cupcakes- using mix bought from Sprinkles. Well, the mix happened to be chocolate peppermint... and lets just say- the cupcakes might have tasted a tad like toothpaste. Well, I didn't want to go to Krob's bday empty handed, so I thought I would bring the cupcakes to show her I had made them. Well, she decided to be polite and try one- mistake number 1 on her part. Moose also decided to shove the whole thing in his mouth- mistake number 2. While they were trying to be polite, my always sweet boyfriend (haha) decided to try one, and proceed to tell me how gross they were. I never said anyone had to eat one.

So this year for Krob's bday- I knew I had to redeem myself. Big time. Expectations were high. My domestic goddess title was on the line. So- I decided to bring out the big guns. Ryan's sisters gave me one of those huge cupcake pans for Christmas, so I decided to go big or go home- and make Krob the big cupcake. Here is the result:

End Result: 

This year was a SUCCESS!!!! All is right in the world when you have a ginormous funfetti cupcake :)
