Cuppie Cakes

It's a Sunday. I was bored.
So I made cupcakes. (^_^)


Uhh... okay, so I basically just sloshed some pink and red goo in a bowl with an eggbeater. STILL, it was the closest thing I had to actual baking. My culinary skills are dirt. (- . -);


At first I was simply planning to watch my Aunt Bernadette for future preferences. Then I figured, what the hell? Looks simple enough. We poured some flour, strawberry baking mix, a few raw eggs, and cooking oil... I ended up stirring the whole thing clockwise and counterclockwise over and over again (and over and over-) till it was just some pink sespool that smelled like sickeningly sweet strawberries. We flayed them out on a metal tray ontop of some ruffled paper -- the ones you usually see on cupcakes -- using a lil' cup then popped them in the oven. I wanted to see the gooey pink stuff rise to the form of actual cupcakes, but tita mentioned that it would only take longer if I just stood there and stared at it.


The cupcakes were for Jaro fiesta tomorrow. As mentioned in a previous post, this celebration isn't much of a big deal, but is still rather special cause' my aunt and grandmother were here. They work in U.S. like my dad but, unlike him, come home only once every three years. So I don't get to see them that often (though as a side-effect, they get to stay longer whereas papa only has a few months with us). So, uhh... yeah. :3


We did carrot cupcakes next. It was practically the same process and so, not much to mention here. Though the brown and orange goo turned out to be more of a challenge. This one had more fiber than juice compared to strawberries and my arm quickly got tired (it twas' like a batter full of half-dried glue). (o.<)
Eventually, tita had to take over. By the time we were done, I couldn't help but snatch around three of the biggest ones. Mygawd, I'm such a pig. (=_=);
