Cupcakes and Thread

For the past few months my husband has been coming up with these crazy, and some not so crazy, ideas for cupcakes and other desserts. I told him we would start testing out some recipes soon. Last night we started our adventure (well I've been baking for years) and made a lemon cupcake with lemon curd filling and lemon cream cheese icing. They were fabulous and beautiful!

We are going to test out three other cupcakes this weekend. Tonight's cupcake is going to be a chocolate hazelnut, tomorrow is keylime, and Sunday is maple-bacon. I will post pictures as I complete each one. Another thing that I love doing is sewing. I am currently working on a quilt for my daughter, Holly.

My mom made me a quilt when I was a baby and I still have it, and I want Holly to have her quilt for years and years to come, too. In the past few months I've made pajama pants for my nieces, some baby blankets, and Holly's quilt. My mom is the one who taught me how to sew and cook. For every holiday we always had homemade food, and I have been in the kitchen helping for many years. I guess I've developed a love for cooking! Wait, let me rephrase that...I have a love of baking -not cooking. I can bake just about anything and it will turn out pretty good, if not great; however, I can not for the life of me cook bacon! My husband is the one that has to cook the bacon in our house. EVERYTIME I even attempt to make it, I burn it. I guess some people just aren't cut out for cooking bacon. I will be using my blog to keep track of all the yummy things I bake. I won't be posting the recipes as of now, but if you see something you like just email me and I'll send you the recipe. Happy Baking!
