I found a nice cupcake recipe site
Off sfgate the other day – it’s Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit, who referenced a great chocolate cake recipe from MarionQuaggatuggu. See how it went from old-media on new-media to blog (marketing) to Flickr (celebritying)?
Ahhhhhhh… and they write books about how blogs are going to be the next big hit in marketing. I hate internet wannabes writing on old media trying to look in from the outside. Wannabes.
So I tried the chocolate cake recipe, but I think I overdid the eggs. I am quite pleased how the cocoa and sweetness turned out – I went heavier on the chocolate and lighter on the sugar, so I doubt the cake’s going to be very popular with most. Maybe the next time I’ll substitute some yogurt for egg. I really detest that eggy smell. Other than that the cake turned out pretty ok. Ugly but ok.
I don’t think there is a career in cooking/baking out there for me. The impending clean up that awaits me renders me sorta stingy when it comes to utensils. And embellishments (frosting, sprinkles, cookie dutters, etc) are too much trouble. And I prefer recipes that do not require creaming. There is just no room in the world for lazy bakers.
In other news – me – Yahoo! Answers – 555. Yay.
