Every event/occasion gives me an excuse to bake cupcakes. Book Club is one of those excuses. Every month someone (ie, Joanna) asks me, "What kind of cupcakes are you bringing this time?" So I tried another new flavor this week: churro cupcakes. Cinnamon/vanilla cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, topped with tortilla buñuelos (not churros, I know, but much easier). I was skeptical about the cinnamon cream cheese frosting, but it was divine. So much more complex and complimentary than the vanilla buttercream (I made a couple that way for my kids' less sophisticated palates).
And no, our book this month had nothing to do with cupcakes, churros, or anything Spanish-related for that matter. We discussed Leadership and Self-Deception, and all vowed to apply the advice in this book in our lives. We all learned more about each other, shared some pretty personal experiences, and tears were shed all around. Wonderful and therapeutic stuff. So, cupcakes and therapy? Hand in hand, baby.

your whole cupcake business looks like it's really taking off in amazing ways too :) congratulations! have you tried making cheesecake bites yet? or is that too far off the cupcake theme? i've had them a couple times here and i always think of you and joanna :)
Megan everything you make looks and I'm sure tastes incredible! I love reading about it, but everytime I do my mouth waters :) Great books! What did you think about Goose girl? I've been thinking of reading it.
Love,
