Oops! Slight Misadventure....

It's been a whirlwind week in preparation for the Wonderfully Made Jewelry show (which went incredibly well, but more on that soon!) I've been baking up a storm, as you can see:


I started the baking marathon with a batch of grown-up, dark chocolate cupcakes, which are not too sweet with a very rich chocolate taste due to the melted bittersweet chocolate plus cocoa in the recipe. They actually turned out beautifully and had a picture perfect shape. Then I went to bed... after I cleaned up and stored them in the oven until I could continue icing them the next morning.

The next morning, I preheat the oven to make the french toast with bacon cupcakes. I start thinking to myself, "Wow, it smells so good...and I haven't even put them in the...oh my goodness!" I throw open the oven and there are the chocolate cupcakes. Still as gorgeous as ever:

You can LOL; I won't take it personally. I'm just sad about all the chocolate that went to waste....
