Cupcake a Month

I love baking in case you didn't know. My favorite thing to bake is cupcakes because they're so fun and cute! I decided to bake a monthly cupcake to bring to work (so I won't have to eat all of them). Each month will be a different cupcake that is inspired by the month.

For September I made Cinnamon Apple Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting since fall starts in September and nothing says fall like apples.

I used this recipe from Duncan Hines. The only thing I did differently was used a Smuckers Cinnamon Apple Sundae Topping instead of making the apple mixture in the recipe. The batter smelled so good!  I thought they were a little tart which I attributed to using the sundae topping instead of the real thing. But everybody else said the cupcakes tasted good so I have to believe them. I did think they tasted better the following day. Can't wait to make my October/Halloween cupcakes!

Where Is This Week Going?

How are my bloggers tonight?

I can't believe it's already Wednesday night! Not that I'm complaining that the week is almost over. I just got home from my nephew's swim meet. It was hot out so I had a Jamba Juice for dinner. #dontjudge There was this group of teenagers sitting behind me that were so annoying. I really hope my friends and I weren't like that when we were 17/18. One of the girls was saying some bad words and one of the teen's parents was sitting with them. I know a classy girl doesn't swear but is it appropriate for people to curse in front of their parents? Maybe I am just old-fashioned? Somebody let me know. Up side of the meet: cute boy in boat shoes! :)

Yesterday we had to do inventory at work and it was so exhausting! I was so sore! I counted over 4,000 little patches. I wanted to leave early today since all the bosses had left early for a meeting but my officemate stayed 10 minutes later than she was going to and I felt weird leaving before her since I got there after her. I left a few minutes after she did but really only left 10 minutes before I was supposed to so it wasn't exciting leaving early.

The majority of the weekend I spent in my pool since it was in the 90s and 100s!

On Independence Day I did bake these yummy goodies!

Easter Goodies!

Saturday my sister and I took a cupcake decorating class at JoAnn's. It was actually a lot of fun because our instructor was a little all over the place and there was this older lady who was super funny. The cupcakes were Spring themed and I wanted to share some pictures.
