I’ve dedicated past month to improving my cupcake skills.

Muffins are nice for grown-ups, but the face of a 6 year old really lights up when they see a pretty cupcake.

After countless tries, I still haven’t been able to produce a passable cream-cheese icing. I suspect it’s either the cream-cheese’s fault, or my expectations from cream-cheese icing are misguided. It keeps turning out too runny, and unfortunately I end up having to make cake-pops with the failed icing, but that’s another story.
