I just had to take pics of the cupcakes I made. Here they are.
May I just say they were also delicious! The recipe . . . again from The Cake Mix Doctor Anne Byrn we have Buttermilk Devil's Food Cake:
Solid vegetable shortening for greasing the pans
Flour for dusting the pans
1 pkg plain devil's food cake mix
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola, corn, safflower, soybean, or sunflower
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
The recipe called for white chocolate frosting, which likely would have rocked, but I didn't have all of the ingredients. We used her recipe for marshmallow frosting instead.
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 large egg whites
1 jar marshmallow creme
To get the exact directions, check out Anne Byrn's book. I think I need to buy all of her books! She even has books for dinners and stuff. Anyway, tomorrow marks the end of my second set of cake decorating classes. We will make our masterpiece cake, and I will be taking pics. I'm making two recipes of chocolate buttercream icing, a yellow cake, and about 90 daffodils. I only have 36 done. Yikes. So I am going to stop blogging for now. Check back for pics of my hopefully beautiful cake tomorrow!
Okay. I know, you guys want to see the kids, too. Here's a few shots of fire truck day with Moms on the Move.
Sorry, turn your head sideways for that last one. I don't know how to fix it.And here's one final one of my two favorite people in the entire world. Thank you, God, for our beautiful children.
