Cupcakes. Are. My. Current. Obsession.
I've been doing a lot of blog browsing for new cupcake ideas, inspiration, and recipes. I figure the only reason why I really enjoy baking these tender little cakes, is because all baking is, is another form of art. My mother and I were discussing this today (she's an AMAZING self taught wedding cake maker), and its just another medium: icing instead of paints, cake instead of paper or a canvas, parchment bags and knifes instead of paint brushes, etc. It still requires an aesthetic eye and creativity, and the way you manipulate the icing (fondant, butter creme, icing, etc) takes time and practice, just as one would when playing with paint.
Anyways, I've been to my share of BBQ/potlucks lately where I've made cupcakes (I use these as an excuse to practice this edible form of art on others) and had troubles with transport. So, yesterday, I clipped that 40% off coupons from the Michaels add and purchased my 1st 3-in-one carrier. It carries 24 cupcakes, mini cupcakes, or a 9x11 flat cake. Its splendid and I love it. Here's a photo documentation of my lovely cupcake baking filled morning :)

Man...can we be friends? Like--one where you send me fun stuff in the mail because you need an outlet for all your creativity? Just checking. Thought I'd ask.
Excuse me miss, I just wanted to let you know that your wonderfulness is showing.

Nice! You and your Mom are very talented when it comes to the cakes! I much prefer just eating the frosting of cake but yours look good enough to eat the cake too :)

Well, that clinches it. I am not much of an artist. I try to make my cupcakes cute, but they almost always look like a 5 year old frosted them. Your's are very, very pretty....

Two words. Strawberry Cupcake. From my good friend, Martha Stew. I made the mistake of giving Seth some and now I have to eat cupcakes in the closet because it is all he wants to eat if he sees them. Trust me. They are that good.
