I figure if I just paint a cupcake, then I get all the fun, without the calories!

So, whenever I see an illustration of a cupcake, it’s shaped much like the one above. Nice and round on top. Why is it I can never bake cupcakes that look like that once frosted? They don’t come out with such a robust top in real life. One of my biggest pet peeves are cupcakes with enormous piles of frosting on top so that they look more like this. Thing is, that always equals to way too much frosting. As Alton Brown would say, not good eats. I like just a light, even coating of frosting. Mostly cake.

One of these days, I’ll come up with a brilliant solution to this problem. A cupcake that achieves that adorable rounded top, without the icing overload.

Ok, so this is really just a “Hey, check this out” post. This is just one of those small things that make me happy.

As part of my Spring Cleaning, I bought these magnetic spice jars for the side of my fridge. I love them! Everything looks clean, organized, modern. Really easy to get to! It’s such a great idea. The lids have little holes in one place so that you can turn them and sprinkle the right amount. (or you can just pop the lid off and go wild) I got two sets, and I already want two more! It saves a lot of space in the cupboards where they were. Smart and attractive organization is the easiest way to relax me. Aaaaaahhhhhhh…..

I also got these clear labels to stick on the side. Very handy! I can already feel it inspiring me to cook more often.

Just one of many, many things on my list to be more organized this Spring.
