Katie's Cupcakes

Currently I am jobless.  While it is not fun to have no income right now, it is kind of fun to have time to do whatever I want, whenever I want.  So one day while strolling through Costco -for some free samples :) - i saw a book that i just needed to get. 

i am OBSESSED with cupcakes. and i always will be. this obsession will not go away when the popularity of them decreases. i think they are the perfect treat.  just enough to satisfy the craving.   mmmm.... 

so i have made it a goal this summer to use this free time to prefect my baking skills.  lots of friends have already volunteered to test the cupcakes.  of course.   i will post each time i make a new batch of cupcakes and share the recipes of the ones that were my favorites.

my favorite cupcake from sprinkles is their chocolate marshmallow.  

i could have one of those a day.  the marshmallow creme inside is just to die for.  so when i got the book i looked through it for a similar recipe. they were the first cupcakes to try out.  i was unhappy with them.  the marshmallow creme was too buttery tasting so i tried just adding a little bit of butter instead of how much the recipe called for. still the buttery taste. then i tried just doing straight marshmallow creme and the consistency was not good.  so i have searched for a new recipe for just the marshmallow filling and will retry them again another time.
