Both of my bosses are big fans of the Cuba Libre..and I thought...hmm...rum, coca cola, and lime..in a cupcake...okay..Go for it! And I did!!
The first batch completely collapsed in on me and were not salvageable. :(
The looked like this:
They were edible though... and I had a few quick bites before I peeled them off the pan and threw them away!!
So, I decided to move onto a Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Perfect!! It turned out like this and was a HUGE hit today! 2 cups of Sugar in this and everyone is crawling on the ceiling today. :)
After a few minutes thought and not wanting those Cuba Libre Cupcakes get the best of me...I attempted them again. I WILL NOT FAIL AT CUPCAKES!!
And yes...they are monogrammed as It's My Birthday!! You'll notice a few of them have a K and a P on them. They are in honor of my coworker, Koti, who is now in India and having his engagement party today with 500 of his closest friends.
This is what my kitchen looked like when all was said and done....notice my laptop on the counter..didn't want to be away from online friends and especially Facebook for too long of a time!! :)
While I was waiting for stuff to bake, I dug out my birthday present to myself. A pair of Guess flip flops that I scored for $5 at the outlet mall!! I cannot wait to have a warm occasion to wear them!! (and yes, I know I'm overdue for a pedicure...but I cannot think about such things when it's -20f!).

Hi. Just found your site. I love your dream. I just sold my home in December 2008 and bought a place south of Playa del Carmen. AND.. I just got a new career, one I can do from 'home'.. i.e. MEXICO... so within 18 months I will be there.
