so i asked mark to take a picture of my cupcake catastrophe.
mark: why
ali: so the next time i get this grand idea i wont do it
mark: no, they weren't that bad.

notice his key word there: that. they weren't good. but they weren't THAT bad.. i mean its a cupcake, can it ever REALLY be bad? i really just wanted a picture so that the next time i get this stupid ass idea to bake cupcakes from scratch i can be shown the picture of the chunks of broken cakes splattered with icing and know that i should just buy a box of mix.

there were like 7 or 8 cupcakes that kinda sorta broke when i took them outta the tins so i broke em apart more put them on a plate and dolloped icing around. it's actually rather tasty.

i may make cupcakes that wont stand and fall apart on touch but i will say i make pretty good buttercream icing. i'm not saying its hard to make icing, i'm just saying that was the one thing i did a pretty decent job on.

they were pretty doomed from the get go. i didn't have any butter that wasn't frozen so i improvised and it was downhill from there. i think i also busted my stick blender.

oh well, they still taste good.
