First Post - New Babies and Great Cupcakes

So, officially I am beginning my blog. I guess I could start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a law student in Houston and I bake cupcakes as a way to relieve the stress... however they sometimes cause more stress if them come out more like biscuits than cupcakes.

I have a beautiful long haired tabby cat named Charlie. His pictures will be everywhere on this blog as soon as I figure out how to post them. Anyway, he talks to me. Not literally of course, but he is a very vocal cat. He meows at every chance he gets. This is why I call him my muse. He loves me and I adore him. He is my king. King Charles I.

I am in a great relationship with the perfect imperfect man. He's 14 years older than I and I am crazy about him. His pictures will be on here as well... again, once I figure out how to post them.

In any case, I am starting this blog to basically to publish the life of a law student who likes to bake cupcakes in her spare time. I love cake. I live for cake. My boyfriend doesn't help the situation, he loves cake too. It's a wonder we're not the size of hippos.

So, thus begins my blog... LAW SCHOOL CUPCAKES.

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for two of my closest friends. Felicia and Rachelle both went to high school with me, so I have known them since I was 14... let's just say we're about to celebrate our 10 year high school reunion next year. Anyway, I had to throw them a shower because their babies are the first in "our group".

Felicia is due in May and Rachelle is due in July. I am very excited about both new-comers. In any case, I baked like a gazillion cupcakes for the shower. I made hummingbird, strawberry, yellow and chocolate. The hummingbird and strawberry were made from scratch and I was ecstatic with how many people liked them. I mean, I had been doing practice runs for weeks and Glenn (the boyfriend) was getting tired of eating cupcake after cupcake... well, not really, but you know how it goes. His waistline was more concerned than he was. But everything turned out great! Cheers to me!

I'm off for a while to study for my exams. Second semester was much harder than first semester (I'm part-time) so I need to spend every waking moment studying. If anyone has any good cupcake recipes to help with the stress, send them on! TTFN.
