We had a killer night and it has been a long day. Little started crying at around 3:30 am and would only sleep in my arms with me sitting up from that point on. This morning I had a pounding headache and very achy neck and shoulders.
By the time the afternoon rolled around, I was worn out. Little refused to nap so we cleaned the kitchen. Once the kitchen was looking cleaner, I thought, why not make some cupcakes? That was clearly an idea inspired by exhaustion.
Well, the cupcakes came out of the oven and Little finally went down for a nap. I frosted the cupcakes, cleaned the kitchen up again, and decided to make some ganache to make my cupcakes extra special. (Note: this was my first time piping on the frosting. I don't make cupcakes often at all and I normally just spread the frosting on with a knife. Delicious but not nearly as nice looking.) Ganache can be used for all sorts of things but I love the way it looks on cupcakes and cakes. So fancy! |
