Good thing it's only practice...

Last night I got bored, so I decided to bake cupcakes. Keep in mind that we still have half of a peanut butter cake from Ria's birthday, and Ria JUST made brownies Friday morning (although those are all gone as of Monday night). So there's been a LOT of baked goods happening in this apartment lately.

I decided to bake cupcakes because I was bored, and wanted practice decorating them. I always do this and forget that I don't like any of the tips from my tip set. They're all just so small it's hard to do anything with them. So I messed around with one a little bit and had some fun, but overall I wasn't overly pleased with the results.

One thing that particularly helps when baking cupcakes is making sure you set your oven to the right temperature. Not 50° low. That's my first tip: set the oven to the CORRECT temperature. Because I had to put them in longer and wasn't entirely paying attention, the first batch came out a little overcooked and dry along the edges.

By the end I was so warm (the problem with baking in Hawaii) that I just scribbled frosting on the last few and called it quits. Not very inspiring, I know.

On the plus side, they're delicious. :D
