But I'm baking more and more these days. Someday soon, husband might ask me to cook (I've been banned from cooking since the sour cream chicken disaster of 2010). At that time, I will respectfully decline, as cooking usually implies that the result will be a meal, while I prefer results in dessert form.
So when I made pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting last weekend, I considered it practice - an exercise in bettering myself and in becoming a well-balanced individual. Or at least that's what I told myself as I ate three fresh from the oven.
And I'm not going to lie, most of the cupcakes were delicious. I say "most", because some were a little burnt and crispy on the bottom. Lesson learned: quickly remove cupcakes from pan after baking.
