My first cup cakes from scratch

My public library is near this fabulous bakery with delicious cup cakes. So when I went to check out a few new books, I was tempted to stop by and pick up a few. For a while I've been wanting to try and make my own. So instead, I drove home and started searching the internet for a recipe. I rarely make anything from scratch, so I was pretty excited.

I came across this recipe from this woman, who's books are sold in my little bakery. That was enough proof for me that her cupcakes must be good. And oh my, I am so glad I made them!

The cake itself stands alone, and then you add the frosting and they are absolutely mouthwatering! I think I found a new love. Next time I want to try chocolate.

PS - if anyone has a good recipe, please share!
