Hiatus - It's All About the Sweets

As you can tell, I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus. Between days spent at the lake, and projects around the house, I have been trying to figure out to be the perfect southern wife. I have pretty big shoes to fill. My mother is the epitome of a southern woman. Even though she was raised in Indy, she was born in Texas, and you just can't take that out her. She takes care of the house, cooks (most of the time) amazing meals, always has the fridge full of wine and chocolate, and can make a mean martini. My mother-in-law is also in the running for mom of the year award. Not sure what I would do without these women in my life. I'm trying to figure out how to become the women they are, while still maintaining some Southern Charm! I love being Southern. What's not to love? Words are as long as the porches we drink our sweet tea on. In my quest to Southern wifedom, I have been baking, painting around the house, and enjoying some time with my sweet husband.

I am ending the hiatus today with a quick look into some pink lemonade cupcakes I made this week. It was a new recipe, Found Here! They were really good, especially if you like the bitter sweet taste of lemonade. It looks like there are alot of steps, and ingredients, but it is pretty easy to put together, and I made a dozen of them in about an hour.

It felt really good to get back in the kitchen and bake. It's been a while, and I have to say it was pretty relaxing. I have some pictures for you too!

I wanted to try a new frosting technique as well. I just love the rosettes, and they are so easy to do. I can't believe I hadn't done this before. You start in the middle of the cupcake, and ice towards the outside. I used a Walton 1M tip and a large coupler. I had to do a couple of cupcakes with an exorbitant amount of icing. I think it's fun and that people need an excess of icing in their lives! 

Can't wait to share some more projects with you. I have a couple of small, and one big one on the way! No more hiatus for this southern wife, I'm back baby!!
