First try at the cupcakes was a monumental fail. I have no idea why they got all fluffy, then flopped. I follwed the recipe the same way both times and got completely different results. It's magic. Or something.
The second time, they turned out to be lovely little cupcakes with a decent crumb and a good flavor. I don't know how I did it.
And here they are, frosted and garnished with a bit of bacon. And oh my do they taste good! Think of a pancake breakfast. Think how good the bacon tastes where the maple syrup dribbles on it. Think of that taste in a cupcake. Think of a good excuse to ask me to bring a batch over to your house.

I'll trade you however much lavender there is left (plus some of J's) AND all the fabric from the new stash -- for just a couple. xoxoxox

It's a mystery, isn't it?
That's why baking is an art and not a science!

I've missed the last few days. Sick and not able to always form coherent thoughts so here goes:
I LOVE the wall color! I wouldn't be able to look past it to the mirror.
The pavilion looks so inviting. I'd set up small tables all around it and have the tea outside (weather permitting, I know you're in Oregon)
We were just talking about getting the bikes out this weekend and taking a short ride. It's been a while and I'm not sure how much I can handle just yet being a gym slacker and all.
Bacon/maple cupcakes probably taste better than it sounds. Although I do love syrup on my bacon so who knows?
I am so glad you are brace free. Now you can be your unrestricted self again.

This certainly sounds unique. I do like bacon and when I was younger I used to smother my bacon in maple syrup. Yum!

Not a maple fan, but bacon makes everything better! Whenever I cook it everything in the house that has a mouth and legs lines up in anticipation. Trying to stockpile it for BLTs, etc. is nigh on impossible because it's pilfered right off the platter before it cools.
