I got some baking supplies on Black Friday. I bought some donut baking pans, normal size and mini-donut size. I had only made donuts once and it was with a donut maker. They were edible, but not really something to repeat. So I was really excited to try them. I decided to use it for the first time and make some light dessert for New Year's Eve. So I chose a lemon recipe. Compré varias cositas para el Black Friday. Pedí unas bandejas para hacer donuts al horno, una de tamaño normal y otra para mini-donuts. Sólo he hecho donuts una vez y fue con una maquina tipo gofrera. Se dejaban comer, pero tampoco fue como para repetir. Con lo que tenía muchas ganas de usarlas. Decidí estrenarlas para Nochevieja y hacer un postre ligerito. Decidí hacerlos de limón.   This is what the mini donuts look like once baked. The first pic is the bottom (the part inside the pan) and the second is the top ...

I used to be like this... I had tried to make cakes and muffins and cupcakes with no success. But suddenly, last year, something happen. I cannot explain what. Maybe in my head, who knows. For my birthday my friends from Alicante showered me with cupcakes stuff so I had a moral duty.  Then in June, a friend gave a little Cupcake & Cookies course and I got the basics.   Even after that, I had some failures trying it at home. Yeah. I don't understand it either. But since then, I've been trying and trying. Always following recipes because improvisation is not my thing. I still have to improve the frosting, but I usually avoid it for my health's sake. These are the results. Enjoy. Vanilla cupcakes with buttercream. Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Carrot cake (I made cheese cream frosting but it was liquid) Carrot Cake again. Cranberry cupcakes Lemon cupcakes with lemon icing...
