Happy New Year everyone! So sorry you all haven't heard from me in so long, but I'm been fighting off some really bad bugs. Comes with the time of year, I suppose. But I am doing much better now, I'm back to work and back to baking! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I was so grateful to spend time with my family (even though I feel asleep for like, 5 hours.. lol) But now.. Now it's already time to greet 2013 in!
How do you ring in the new year? A kiss with that special person? Fireworks? A toast? Well, why not ring it in with the tastiest way possible... CUPCAKES. These cupcakes turned out sooooo much better than I thought they would, and I can not wait to share this recipe with you! Here is the recipe that I adapted mine from.
