Post #1, Day #1

I bought the "Hello Cupcake" cookbook about a week ago.  I always watched cake and cupcake shows on the food network, and I decided that it was my turn to get into the business.  I was intrigued, not only by the adorable cupcakes on the cover, but by the fact that it was a no skills required cookbook. This was good for me in the fact that I really had NO skills.  The only cake baking I've ever done is mixing the batter while my mom was working on another element of the cake, and I have never decorated or even iced a cake of any kind.  Now I have decided to bake my way through this whole book hopefully by 2012, but I really don't have a time limit.  After I finish a cupcake I will record it by making a small clay model of it (something I know that I can do).  And now with this post finished, let the baking and blogging BEGIN!
