This will be one short blog post because I am short on time. Allow me to explain. I may be the biggest procrastinator any of you will ever meet or know via the online world. I find that I work best under pressure and function at a high level when the clock is past midnight.
Ya see, I am finishing my comp exam for my Masters in special education and folks, it has come down to wire. I am talking around thirty five hours and counting! If I told you how long I have had to do this project and when I actually started it, you would probably gasp and think much less of me, so I will be refraining from publishing that information.
I have barricaded myself in my bedroom with nothing more than a computer, printer, Polar Pop and a sack full of sour gummy worms. I am exhausted and have not left the house in days, although I have showered, and I think my neighbors may be concerned of my whereabouts.
Now that you have a little bit of background into my procrastinating personality, I shall cease my incessant rambling and move along to Dorie’s Perfect Party Cake.
Bottom line is this, MAKE THIS CAKE!
I love this cake. It is my favorite cake, I have made this cake more times than I can count. The texture is perfect, the crumb is perfect, the flavor is perfect… well, at least in my opinion.
If you do not own Dorie’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours, buy it for this recipe! Or, you head over to Carol’s blog, mix, mix… stir, stir for the recipe.
Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by! I should be back to the blogging world by 4:00 PM on Wednesday! I guess this really was not short after all…procrastination at it’s best! :)
Oh, one more thing! If you haven’t entered my giveaway, make sure you do so. Ya may just end up with the cheery cupcakes liners pictured in these photos – hint hint!
Notes: I did not use Dorie’s buttercream recipe, instead I chose to use buttercream dream, found on my Mocha Cupcakes recipe.
I've done the M.A. comp exam thing and what I learned is that there is no wrong way to do it if you get it done! :) Best of luck!!!
Love the cupcakes, and LOVE the buttercream. I've actually made the PPC twice in the last week for friend's birthdays, and I used your favorite buttercream for both. It's absolutely fabulous! Thanks!
Hope all goes well with school! CUTE cupcakes. I made cupcakes, too. and I really liked this recipe.
Love your cupcakes. They are STUNNING!
c'est magnifique ces petits cupcakes ! j'adore ! ça fait très raffiné :)
Adorable, adorable cupcakes! But woman does not live on cupcakes and gummy bears alone. Go out and ace that exam — and then go out and get a terrific meal. You'll have really earned it.
So you have some cupcakes to sustain you through your exams.
oh these look gorgeous!! good luck with the exams! :D
Good luck on your exams, and for goodness sake I hope your diet improves over the next 48 hours!
These are too cute! I hope your certification exam goes well and then you can get some sleep (and a decent meal…gummy worms are great but you gotta have more than that to live!)
