Cupcakes!

First lets start off with I'm trying to be a better cook/baker. I'm pretty decent at cooking and I really do enjoy it but am too lazy to do it every night. Baking on the other hand is just a downhill battle for me. Most of our family can attest to what I am saying. Can anyone say Krew's birthday cupcakes?
So while talking to my grandma the other night about baking and all my failed endeavours she says the only way to get good at it is to practice. Poor Tyler.

So I decided to make cupcakes (out of the box..no need to mess with the real stuff) with seven minute frosting:

And what do you know? They actually turned out! The frosting was delicious to us since Tyler and I aren't much for traditional frosting. It wasn't easy though. The recipe calls for an electric mixer and since we don't own one I had to WE had to whip the egg whites by hand. Twenty sweating minutes later we were able to eat the fruits of our labor. It's not much but we're off to a good start.

*Thank you Tyler for helping me even though it was my project.

*Thank you Terri for letting me borrow your cupcake pan once again.
