baking.

Baking is the best.  And I can finally get around to it while I'm home!

Which I'm not anymore :(

(I'm off to Columbia, SC for a training trip.  Yay.)

First up, maple cupcakes.  With maple buttercream frosting.  The cupcake recipe is from a Martha Stewart cupcake book and the frosting was found online when I realized I didn't have enough maple syrup for the Martha recipe hehe.

You didn't think I was that talented did you?  The frosting gun can make anyone into a professional little frosting chef!

Beignets.  Delish.  My dad actually made these!  And they're so yummy!!!

We had a little mishap with flouring the counter.  But Soccer Mom to the rescue.

Yea, we have a deep fryer..

Oh my they were so good!

Sometimes I forget, but I've actually been to New Orleans...  Way back in high school, we used to go to the SADD national convention every summer.  We always had an absolute blast.
