i'm not particularly good at baking, and I don't really follow a recipe. I just make cake batter from a box, frosting from a can, and go from there. I like picking out their little skirts that I bake them in and finding cute color combinations. today it was red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting.
maybe one day, I will make them from scratch. for now, I will just make cupcakes bi-weekly or so and invite my friends over to eat them.
I find myself baking when I am conflicted or stressed out. Classes start back up tomorrow, which is exciting, but always daunting. part of me will always worry that "the other kids won't like me," even though I am a college junior and that is a silly thought. This batch, though, are grief cupcakes. They are for John, a close family friend that passed away suddenly this week. Perhaps I will bring some to his daughters.
the process of mixing, scooping, baking, frosting is cathartic in some strange way.
my cupcakes are not picture perfect, but they are tasty.
