my complicated life

baking has been my "comfort" activity eversince. eventhough i am too tired from work yesterday and i still need to do an errand, pinagpaliban ko muna and checked my cupboards for any available baking ingredients and decided to just bake instead of going out. ewan ko ba, my workload is adding stress to my already stressful life that i just feel the need to whisk. hehe.

i remember baking like a thousand cookies back in 'pinas, trying to perfect a recipe and in which my family had to endure eating for weeks. may sunog, may sing-tigas ng bato, may nakaka-diabetes sa tamis, may matabang... pero in fairness, eventually meron rin namang nalutong perfect. hehe. although now that it has been ages, i have forgotten that recipe and had to start all over again.

with the ingredients that i still have at home and with all the printed recipes i had from the internet, i chose the vanilla cupcake that i got from a GT thread about baking. the recipe has been a tad confusing because it mentioned egg whites and whole eggs separately but as to when to put the whole eggs was not mentioned in the procedure. with that, it turned out that i have used whole eggs instead and missed the eggwhites. i got worried that the cupcakes would be too hard if i will put lots of eggs that's why after putting the whole eggs, i decided to cross out the egg whites. anyhow, with the slight variation i made with the recipe, the cupcake turned out good! =) tsamba na naman! hahaha.

it was my first time to make cupcakes. practice ko ito for lance's birthday. =) by the way, i am happy with the cupcake pan that i bought from home center and the cupcake paper with moss and lime green color. springtime-theme kumbaga while the pan performed well. wala lang, i was just happy that i don't have messy pans after. hehe. yep, i think i will be using this recipe over and over again. however, i will try to reduce the sugar next time. it's too sweet for me. although hubby finds it just right naman being a sweet-toothed person. but next time if i will put icing on top, i think i need to cut down the sugar a little bit. what can i say??? am so happy, with my cuppies. =)
