Year of the cupcake | #1 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Now that I have decided to embark on making one cupcake per week for the next 52 weeks, the next thing on the list was to determine what cupcake to make.  Since I get the original idea from the blog learn with jenny I decided to head back over to her blog and see what delicious bites she had made.  The first one on her list...Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (talk about heaven). 

Just looking at the picture made my mouth water so I knew this was the perfect cupcake to start the year off right. The recipe came from another great blog Annie's Bites and let me tell you these are deeeee-licious!

The kids and I LOVED them!  They are super sweet and taste super yummy with a nice tall glass of milk. 

Great way to start off the year!  Looking forward to what I will make for week #2.

 



Year of the cupcake | 52 weeks 52 cupcakes

My word for 2012 is Adventure and one of the ways that I will be living this word is by stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something that I have always said I wanted to do but never actually gathered up the courage to actually do it - baking would fall in this category.

I am a HUGE fan of Cupcake Wars on the Food Network and have always thought it would be cool if I could be a contestant on the show.  The problem is I'm not a baker at all.  Outside of making box cakes, brownies and cookies that is the extent of my baking abilities.  A few weeks ago I stumbled on the blog learn with jenny and immediately fell in love with her idea of making 52 cupcakes in 52 weeks.  So following in the footsteps of Jenny Meyerson, the mastermind behind learn with jenny I have declared that 2012 will be the year of the cupcake!

So for the next 52 weeks I will share the good, the bad and the delicious as we bake our way through 2012 one cupcake at a time!

So here's to...
