My (new-to-blogging) friends decided that to celebrate our blogs we were going to throw a blog. We all did different things for each of our blogs. I won't go completely in depth but Savannah did a sugar scrub (here). Bri talks about setting up and hosting a blog party (here). Peyton did a quote board (here).

You all know me and my obsession with baking, so I made cupcakes. This was my first time making cupcakes from scratch. They turned out surprisingly well, the recipe yielded 20 but I filled 12 because that was all I wanted. I made them Friday night and then stored them for decoration on Saturday.

Ingredients:
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter (softened)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps:
1) Preheat oven to 375 F
2) Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl
3) Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, and then add each egg individually (all in a mixer)
4) Alternate the flour mixture and milk until combined, and then add vanilla
5) Divide batter among cupcake pan and bake for 18 minutes or until done in the center
- I got this recipe from the website food.com but tweaked it a little bit

 All of our cupcakes decorated! Oh and by the way, I just bought icing from the store. I didn't feel like making icing from scratch after making the cupcakes from scratch. Sorry!! You can easily find icing recipes online, but I also didn't want to mess with figuring out the right consistency.
