Ok. Let me start out by saying that its usually not a good idea to start a baking project at midnight. It typically ends in disaster. I have been known to bake at all hours of the day with little to no trouble.. but last night..it was total Murphy’s law. I made a giant mess, I couldnt sort my thoughts, my camera battery was dead, my frosting wasnt smooth enough… the list goes on. Half way through prep I was ripping my hair out and wondering why I even started the project in the first place. Guh! Stress! But, I thought to myself ‘cupcakes are worth it!’ and they always are. Yeah the frosting was a little lumpy (I made it at 1 am and i was getting impatient so i didnt sift my powdered sugar…always do that!!) and I would have liked to use berry jam instead of apricot (for some reason we always have apricot and red plum, but never strawberry)..but you know what? they still tasted amazing. I actually really liked the apricot with chocolate. Surprisingly delicious. If I make these again I will probably use the same favor combo.
Sweet toof
