Ron took the boys to Tampa for the Motor Trend International Car Show and I started baking. I love to bake. I don’t bake that often because I have a VERY small galley kitchen with hardly any counter space. I can get claustrophobic even when I am alone in the kitchen!

The cupcakes look ok and taste delicious. I thought I’d share a few tidbits I learned while making these today.

• Check out all of your supplies before you start. I am sure I own at least 2 cupcake pans but I could only locate 1 so I had to bake 2 separate batches.
• My 18 yr old Black & Decker Hand Mixer was no match for 16oz of Marshmallow Fluff. The motor in my mixer burned up! Maybe now I can get the stand mixer I have been wanting-but have no place to store.
• An extra pair of hands would come in handy while trying to get the marshmallow topping into the pastry bag.
• Don’t fill the pastry bag too full. The marshmallow topping easily escapes from the top and oozes all over you.
• You do reach a point where being covered in marshmallow no longer bothers you. You can just clean it all up later
• Thankfully, I was home alone or their would be multiple photographs of me covered in marshmallow.

I had a lot of fun today and hopefully, the cupcakes will be a huge hit tonight. Have you tried this recipe? What did you think? Any input on what kind of mixer I should get to replace the one that dies today? Christmas baking season is right around the corner so I need to find something soon.
