Dear Diary,

Today, my Mom, Sarah and I spent the afternoon making vanilla frosting. Mom is like the frosting and cake guru. Her creations can even match those of popular bakeshoppes in the city. We're just happy that she can pass down this legacy to us and hope we can duplicate her skill in baking.

Unsurprisingly, the frosting turned out to be the best we ever tasted (no bias here). It was mom's trademark, not too sweet, just sweet. :) Then the next thing we did was to learn how Mom makes her trademark swirls. We weren't able to get it on our first try but the subsequent tries were not futile. We were able to come up with decent, if not fancy, swirls.

On the right side is a snapshot of the soon-to-be best cupcake in town (we're still brimming with optimism). They're red velvet cupcakes topped with vanilla frosting and red sprinkles. We concede to the fact that we still need to improve on the presentation but the cupcakes are yummy, to say the least. :)


Love Lots,
Godz
