Baked Creation

I have been on a journey of self-discovery as of late. Maybe that is why I have neglected the blog, because I haven't been ready to write about it. I have had so many thoughts swimming in my head, forming into new ideas and new beliefs, dispelling the dusty, old worn out ones that have only been used because I didn't realize that I could create better ones. These cupcakes are part of my journey. I have a special relationship with them, even though they have long since been devoured and enjoyed. As amateur as they are, these cupcakes brought things to me that I haven't seen in a long time. They brought me the knowledge that I can, and I will. They showed me my potential in all things. They made me realize that it doesn't have to hurt to dream, and it is better done if you 'dream out loud.' They put into perspective what is really important, banishing all insignificant viewpoints that were previously held. They took me all the way back to July 21, 2006 - a day in my life where I truly believed it when I said "I can do anything I put my mind to. I am good enough, and I am the best at what I do." I love these cupcakes. I wish I could have one frozen in time, not just in my memory, so I could keep it in my fridge and look at it daily to remind me of the catalyst its creation was in my life. I guess I'll just have to keep baking...
P.S. These are red velvet (from scratch) with cream cheese frosting. If you want some (or any other kind for that matter) I would leap for joy at the opportunity.
