Homemade Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting with 5 easy steps

I am now a student and I am now having to decide how to use my time more wisely. When it comes to me though, time and wise don’t go in the same sentence. I am never late though. In fact, some friends of mine would say I am sometimes too early. However when I need to actually use my time to do something, I find a million other things that sound more interesting.

Like just now. I really need to be writing a paper. Like really bad, it’s due tomorrow morning. But how does my professor expect me to type a paper, on a computer, when I can use that computer to check my blog. And how can they expect me to check my blog and see I have a first time commenter and not go look at that person’s blog. Then before you know it, 20 minutes has passed and I am hungry, have bookmarked three new recipes, and the essay still only has my name written on top.

It’s not like I haven’t been a student before. Now that I think about it, when I was in culinary school I was also doing pastries at a restaurant, working close to 60 hours a week sometimes. Easy without a blog! My blog is my new 60 hour a week job. Definitely not 60 hours working on posts, but if I logged my twitter and facebook hours (hey, are you following me on those? you should be!) well… the hours may even be higher.

But I have to blog, so no worries. I really enjoy it, and nothing warms my heart more than someone telling me about the time they cooked one of my recipes. I always dislike reading when bloggers say things like ‘I have not been wanting to post lately’ because it brings me down. If you are coming my way, the last thing I want you to be is down. I want you to be happy. And nothing makes me happier than a cupcake. A really moist cupcake with sweet frosting. A really moist vanilla cupcake with sweet chocolate frosting.
