A Rare Instance of Successful Baking


I'm not sure I have ever actually made cupcakes before, but I had a sudden hankering a few weeks ago when faced with a cupcake tray at a store.  And so I made cupcakes that, despite going off recipe (substituing yogurt for milk, olive oil for vegetable oil) came out looking and tasting like yummy cakes.  

I also went off-script with the icing, opting to just melt some chocolate chips and mix in yogurt - which also, amazingly, came out quite well, a little more mellow than the hardcore sugar of traditional icing.  

And yes, I forgot to take a picture before I had sampled one.  Yum.  

Side note: those paper cup liners are the best.  No trying to pry them out of the tray or messing with greasing and flouring - they were worth the tiny investment.
