Tomorrow, marks the one-year-anniversary of one of our big projects at work. We hold at least 3 days of all-day workshops every month, meaning we spend a lot of time together. Normally, I make an early morning stop at Safeway for cookies and other sugar filled mind simulators. (I'm pretty sure there is some science that says that people are nicer/think better when they have a stomach full of coffee and sugar.)
So, I made cupcakes for our first birthday! I'm not typically a great baker, but in the spirit of The Project, I baked. A lot.
I found a really great recipe for cupcakes on Recipe Girl. It makes super moist, but super fluffy delicious sugar filled cupcakes. Yum. Yum.

| I used a really simple buttercream frosting (3c powder sugar, 1c butter, 1tsp vanilla, a little heavy whipping cream) I also invented the best way to fill a piping bag--STICK IT IN A CUP. |
 |
| I used a piping bag to ice the cupcakes because it is a lot easier for me. I also hate it when I pick up a cupcake and get frosting on my fingers, or when a perfect frosting job gets totally ruined because two cupcakes touched each other. Thus, the dots of icing smack dab in the middle of the cupcakes |

| I put a couple sprinkles on them. I picked blue, because it's a water project--get it? |
