friday i satisfied my sugar craving with a batch of cupcakes from this cookbook. i've been anxiously waiting to bake some of these since christmas, when i got the book. i thought it would be wise to wait for the abundance of holiday sweets to wane before i whipped up a fresh batch of anything. i couldn't wait any longer. 3 weeks into the new year and i finally have the 24 frosty little confections. i went with a very non-organic, i'm sure, country blue color from my martha by mail decorating kit. it took not one but two boxes of domino's confection sugar to get the lofty amounts of icing required - i think that is part of the bakery's signature. they definitely satisfied my sweet tooth for a bit. they were good. however, not quite as good as i remember the real thing being... mmmm... right after margaret's yoga class, we'd get them fresh from the bakery's window sill, no need for a box because margaret and i would eat them on our stroller walk back home across town... sweet memories.
