HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Last night, Avery and I made witch cupcakes. Okay, I made witch cupcakes while she played with the tea towels and magnets on the fridge, then went to bed. But one day, I do hope baking is something we will enjoy together.
Since I've become a mom, I feel as if I have a responsibility to hone my baking skills in preparation for all the treats I'll need to bake when Avery is old enough to enjoy them herself, need them for school bake sales, and have them at birthday parties. But the problem is, while I can successfully cook just about anything, I just don't have the knack for baking. Greg can tell you some tales about hair brownies, burnt cookies, and cakes that bake up through the racks in my oven. By instead of getting discouraged and giving up, I've been inspired by Bakarella's website and a cupcake decorating book I recently purchased, "Hello, Cupcake." So, I'm giving it the old college try and gave decorating some Halloween cupcakes a whirl. I happen to think they were cute enough to eat. What do you think? Am I a hopeless cause? Do I need to run to the nearest Michael's and beg for admittance to their Wilton class? Or should I go on to decorate another day? Or should I just save you a cupcake?

Those look delicious! I bet Avery is sad she's too little to eat them.
