Cupcakes

Baking Cupcakes seems to be the going thing. Something I have tried but would like to try it Cupcake Wars style. LOL I find it amazing how they put those ingredients together to make it taste well, as far as the judges say. My family say we are going to have cupcake wars at our house. Why not try it at your house? If so tell me how it turned out.

Here are a few books with some ideas:

Welcome to Just Recipes

Hello and how are you? Hope all is as well as can be. I am starting a new blog about recipes. I love to eat so therefore I should love to cook. My favorite is baking. I always find recipes online and save or book mark them. I figure one day I'll make this. I'm always looking for something new to make. What about you? What is your favorite thing to make? I have things come to my email and also find recipes on Facebook and Twitter. So this is just the beginning. I will post recipes up probably daily but definetly weekly. I always find something that I like. So I hope you follow me so we can go on this journey together. Thanks Michelle. Here's the first recipe.
