Vanilla Spice with Clove Frosting

I've been feeling a bit lost lately. It seems that without the structure of a strict 40+ hours a week job, I tell myself, "I'll get to that tomorrow." This story is going exactly where you think it is, tomorrow never manifests itself and I find those tasks still on my to do list.

The past few days though, I have felt different. A good different. I am ready to tackle that pesky list. I am ready to work.



The kiosk starts in about six weeks and since I'll be selling cupcakes there I have lots of experimenting to do. These cupcakes are a second attempt to create something great. Vanilla Spice Cake with Clove Frosting. I'm thinking that I may separate the cake and frosting and sub in something else. Maybe a pumpkin cupcake with clove frosting or a vanilla spice cake with, well, who knows what. I'll figure it out though and I'll post the recipe when I've got it down.

I have learned something already. When going through these experimenting phases, its best to cut recipes in half. Unless of course, you want to eat large portions of not quite right cupcakes. Every. Single. Day. Believe me, it's not as glamorous as it seems.
