I consider myself pretty good at baking. My stuff always comes out hot, fresh, and delicious, and my husband (and, when said baked goods are brought to work, my coworkers) heartily approves of pretty much any baking frenzy I’m swept up in.

For the record, if the cupcake is tasty enough most people don’t care what it looks like.
This is true! I’ve got the taste down, though, and now I just want them to look pretty.
