So now I am issuing a new challenge to myself, 26 before 26. However this will not be a list of personal goals or experiences I wish to obtain by my next birthday. Instead, this is all about cupcakes.
My dream is to one day get out of the rat race and get into baking as a career. I imaging quitting my job and taking a job for less pay and worse hours at a little bakery somewhere, and then eventually, opening my own. More work, more stress, less money, but hopefully a little more joy in what I do for a living. Right now this is just a dream, but while I am waiting for the day to come when we are at a place where I can quit my job, I am going to practice all I can.
26 cupcakes may not seem like a whole lot to do in a year. One new cupcake every two weeks. However, living in the Inland Empire, it is hotter than Hades in the summer, I cringe at the thought of turning on my oven, so I tend to get my sweet fix from homemade popsicles, so there is never a cupcake in sight.
Each new recipe will get its own special post from now on. I could start over at number one right now since I don't have pictures of all my past creations for the year, but spring is just around the corner, so there is no time to lose.
The list so far-
- Lavender cupcakes with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream
- Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream
- Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
- Strawberry cupcakes with nutella frosting
- Carrot cake cupcakes with spiced cream cheese frosting
One thing is for sure, I will be loved and hated by my coworkers for the onslaught of cupcakes coming to our break room soon.
