Here's the story of the cupcakes. My mom and I made cupcakes from scratch several weeks ago, so I could practice the recipe and make them for Tim's birthday in Okinawa. They were absolutely delicious - better than any cupcakes I've ever had. And really easy to make. Fast forward to last night, when I finally got all my ingredients together and was ready to give it a go. After a few missteps (including accidentally making some pastry dough), I made some very pretty cupcakes. Which tasted AWFUL. Not sure where I went wrong, but they are terrible. Tim put on a brave face and said how good they were. Then I tried one and told him he didn't have to lie. "You're a cook, not a baker," he said. Too true.
