Baking Mood

I think I'm technically a 'frustrated baker'. I just love to look over all the baking blogs and sites, copy -paste all the yummy recipes (but never got to bake them) and wish that I could bake delicious and beautiful cakes. I used to tell my Hubby that once our kids are grown up, I would bake all my favorite cakes (the complicated ones) and even dreamed that maybe we could put up a Bakeshop here in Thailand since cakes are so expensive here and served in miniscule sizes.

Actually, it was just recently that I learned how to bake. I learned from my sister who can bake with her eyes closed. But for me, I would have to look at the recipe over and over again and still end up forgetting to put the eggs or 'oh no! it's supposed to be baking soda and not baking powder!' toink! That's what I mean by being a frustrated baker..LOL! But anyways, I think I'm improving as I go but sometimes my cakes still ends up uneven and the oven ends up being blamed. (poor oven!)

After looking through some baking sites this evening, I was suddenly inspired to bake Chocolate Cupcakes. Our children's summer workshop is still ongoing so I decided to 'donate' the goodies for them. Hahaha! I hope they'll like it and not end up having tummy ache...just kidding.

So, this is the result of my baking blues...of course, I have a little helper who helped in pouring and mixing the ingredients and enjoyed decorating the cupcakes too.

Do they look yum? I hope so..I'll have to ask the little ones tomorrow. They have to say "yes"..if not then no more goodies for them in the near future..:)
