One Step Closer to Being Martha

Work for me didn't start until 11am today (!)  which meant only one thing, morning baking session.  

Sidenote:  Baking is exponentially better than cooking for many reasons 1) it's easier to share cupcakes with coworkers than a chicken pot pie 2) a kitchen is always more likely to be stocked with flour, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract (these ingredients can make any number of things) than with all the bizarre spices and meat you need to cook 3) there is a reason it's a 'cake walk' and not a 'lemon grass chicken' walk

For today's cupcakes I followed Martha's vanilla cupcake recipe and her adorable idea of a seastar cupcake.  Instead of marzipan I substituted some purple and orange pre-made gel and I accidentally poured a bit of maple extract in the frosting which actually went nicely with the grahm cracker sand:)
