That seemed to be the theme last week when I tried to make my Upcakes. I visited Bakerella's site and saw the cutest cupcakes themed after the movie Up. I thought it was fate being as I had just watched the movie with my sister. But...not so much. I made one, didn't like how it looked and then just frosted the rest and threw on some sanding sugar. Not to say they didn't taste delicious either way, I am just really picky about how my desserts turn out. If they aren't cute, they're not going with me to work.
So, since I was without a dessert to blog about I found a new recipe to try. Vanilla & Sparkling Wine Pound Cake. Gooooooood Lord it was good. Of course I ate a few pieces and then shared the rest, but really... yum. The recipe is HERE. Another brilliant case of baking something and have alcohol left over to enjoy on your own. Instead of making mine in the 10" loaf pan I used a bundt pan. I just feel like everything turns out prettier when you use a bundt pan and it takes no effort at all.
See? Pretty.
This is a really short blog, but you'll have to forgive me because I wasn't very creative this week and I am WAY behind on the blogging.
Here's my lackluster attempt at an Up Cupcake.
Not so pretty.
