Howdy!
I'm enjoying a lovely break from work so decided to do some baking. If only I had known what I was letting myself in for...
I used this sweet recipe from this lovely lady and gave it a go. It was all going to plan until I decided I'd also try out the frosting recipe and discovered I didn't quite have enough butter. I mistakenly thought I could use my non-existent maths skills to adjust all of the ingredients' quantities to meet my butter shortage and just make a smaller amount of frosting. This didn't quite work out and I ended up with a big watery slop which still tasted pretty darn good, surprisingly! I figured I'd use it as a very thin sauce to moisten the cupcakes (see photo above...). Dessert was saved! Well, it was saved until I got ill... it turns out that my body doesn't like cocoa powder and because I'd consumed rather a lot that day I landed myself a pretty hefty migraine which wiped me out well and truly. Luckily for me, it seems to be only dark chocolate which affects me and is my least favourite kind anyway. And my Grandad has already volunteered to eat all of my future dark chocolate, what a trooper! :)
Not my most successful baking mission...
But on the bright side, we now have the Internet in our new home.... HURRAY! I'm feeling better already ;)
