Let me start by saying that I was really lucky. My grandma (a wedding cake baker) started teaching me to decorate cakes from the time I was a kiddo, and when I wasn’t learning from her I was in the kitchen with my mom (a caterer) so I was pretty much covered on the learn-to-cook front. I don’t remember ever seeing a can of cream-of-whatever in our house, and homemade pizzas and pastas were totally normal. So were homemade cupcakes (YUM). It wasn’t until college that I really started to see how different my culinary education was from the norm. I cooked all the time, (even before we had a kitchen – my roomie and I got a contraband hot plate and hung a few pots and spoons from ribbons on our dorm wall. It was very chic) and I started noticing how frequently I would get a “Wait…you MADE this?!” reaction from friends.

Cakes will always have special place in our hearts but quite frankly, cupcakes are now the 'it' dessert, thanks to a number of fancy bakeshops (and TV shows!) which specialize in these delectable goodies. If you were wondering how to make cupcakes, then this post is perfect for you because that's exactly what we want to share today.
