Cupcakes!

I love cupcakes. I discovered this about a year ago while watching Paula Deen make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I had to try it for myself and it was a complete success! I’ve been designated as the official cupcake maker in the family and I use every holiday or family event to try out something new. Now that Jay has completed schooling and found a great job, I can move forward with plans to attend a local culinary school and fulfill my dream of being a pastry chef. We have been discussing the idea of opening up a cupcake shop sometime in the next few years and I am finally beginning to see the actual possibility of this. I don’t know nearly enough but I have the talent and that’s a great place to start. Today I got the call i've been waiting for, a friend ordered 70 cupcakes for a surprise party. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time as this is my first real commission. Wish me luck!
