A Delicious Adventure

As most of you know, I LOVE baking! So I decided to start a new challenge. I recently bought a new baking book called Cupcakes Galore and I have decided to bake through this book and share my adventure with all of you. Hoe fun does that sound? And guess what! You as my friend as family will get to taste all the yummy cupcakes! Yay! It doesn’t get much better than that does it?

I will be baking one-two recipes a week and since there are 112 recipes it will take me around a year and a half to complete. I would love to bake through a cook-book but I don’t like sea food so I would have to skip the entire fish section which would be cheating so I decided to settle on cupcakes instead! I mean seriously who doesn’t like cupcakes?
