I had a beautiful, lazy weekend.  I don't remember most of it.  Probably just because there wasn't much to remember.  I stayed in my PJ's all day Saturday, ate some Mexican food Saturday night with my sick wife, and woke up early to bake on Sunday.  I bought these decorating bags, decorating tips and baker's icing a couple weeks ago and I was really excited to use them.  I also had a bunch of pumpkin hanging around from my last spice cake, and I'd found my blue sprinkles, so out of that came this:

I used a Martha Stewart recipe for the first time too.  Now I can see how it's impossible for some to hate her.

...not that I'm one of those people, but I can understand it.

This was also my first time dying my own icing, and even though it looks like salmon cream, I'm still pretty pleased with the outcome.  These might've been my best cupcakes thus far!

Seriously, why am I not doing this for a living yet?
