swiss success!

I'm kind of speechless.  That rarely happens, but right now... wow. 


Now I understand that these are just cupcakes.  I also understand they look surprisingly like many other cupcakes I've made in the past but I assure you, these are different.

I bake what is comefortable, and I bake what I know.  I do love to try out new things, but in times where I'm at my max with stress I tend to stick to what I know, and cupcakes I know, but tonight I got tired of playing it safe. Also, because Margie and Angie are the main reasons I was making cupcakes to begin with, I though I would try something different.  So what's different?  Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

I'm pretty sure we made swiss meringue in cake craft, but I'm equally pretty sure I didn't go to class that day, so I really have no experience with it, and I won't lie, I was fairly intimidated.  After finishing I realize 1. I should never have been intimidated and 2. my life will never be the same.

Swiss success indeed!
