well after far too many cupcakes – I decided to make something a bit healthier… except that kind of backfires on me.. you see I always eat like one cupcake and give the rest away. However, I can never give muffins away, they just aren’t cute enough. Or perfect enough. Or yum enough.

well i tried to make some super yum cupcakeys for my awesome friend Hong but I had no cocoa… so I tried my best to make do with what random ingredients I had… so I found this recipe on epicurious and modified it a tad. The original recipe calls for 200grams of chocolate all up.

I have been wasting time/self educating myself on all sorts of random things today.. wordpress, css, a bit of study for my Microsoft 50-236 exam, SLR’s, organizing my recipe collection when I think I have made a bit of a discovery…

i think there is some kind of link between baking/cupcake decorating/general awesomeness and being a female software engineer/programmer/real life girl geek. for my proof i bring you the all round greatness of:

hellonaomi
chockylit’s cupcake bake shop
the cupcake fairy

and im sure there are probably more. weird. very weird. anyone care to psychoanalyze?

• puppy
• kitten
• slr camera – i have been wasting so much time reading about photography i would love to get a digi slr one day. why do they have to be so damn expensive! seriously. im scouring trademe for a second hand canon300D. plus then jonno can have my old camera and I wont have to worry about him damaging it.
• mini cheesecake pan, i love how the bottoms of these come off
• kitchenaid ice cream attachment, still havent worked out if I can make this go in the freezer.
• gym journal – i really need to buy a notebook so i can record reps/weight/etc in it, im sure it will keep me motivated too.
• new jeans

update ahhh I missed out on the best camera on trademe ever, sigh.

I did a swap at work, lunch for cupcakes! I thought I got a pretty sweet deal
