Cupcakes & Muffins

Project Fab-U Baking 101 Weeks 2 & 3 back to back

I skipped last weeks baking task as I had no motivation to bake anything . We had a house full of sweets with the girl scouts out and about in the neighborhood. This week I made up for it by making muffins and cupcakes all in one day ... busy me ya know? Found very helpful recipes at The Joy of Baking.com I was really proud of myself that these cupcakes and muffins came out so well. I think that my baking is getting better. I substituted with whole wheat flour and splenda for both recipes . I did not take pic of the frosted cupcakes because quite frankly I was tired of snapping pic and baking Monday night and I still need to work on my frosting skills.

I am thinking that I am ready to explore the wonderful world of cookies... looking for a shortbread cookie recipe that I can play with for the next project.
