work...
(makin' mini snowballs)
(not amazing, but taking baby steps)
for a non-baker like me, making cupcakes start to finish is pretty exciting. slowly, slowly, slowly, i am learning. even though it's a small feat, it still makes me proud of myself. i kinda fucked up mixing/baking the eggnog ones, but i did an okay job frosting the little snowballs on top, which i was nervous to do. since i got side-sloping peaks on the cupcakes, i'm just pretending i made a ski hill on top of each one. working with frosting is harder than it looks!
