Baking is the best. And I can finally get around to it while I’m home!
Which I’m not anymore 🙁
(I’m off to Columbia, SC for a training trip. Yay.)
First up, maple cupcakes. With maple buttercream frosting. The cupcake recipe is from a Martha Stewart cupcake book and the frosting was found online when I realized I didn’t have enough maple syrup for the Martha recipe hehe.
You didn’t think I was that talented did you? The frosting gun can make anyone into a professional little frosting chef!
Beignets. Delish. My dad actually made these! And they’re so yummy!!!
We had a little mishap with flouring the counter. But Soccer Mom to the rescue.
Yea, we have a deep fryer..
Oh my they were so good!
Sometimes I forget, but I’ve actually been to New Orleans… Way back in high school, we used to go to the SADD national convention every summer. We always had an absolute blast.
