after the marathon baking session tuesday, i decided to keep it to just a few things on wednesday to avoid falling asleep in a bowl of batter– sugar cookies and some more cupcakes. the vanilla cupcakes (the amazing perfect party cake from the amazing dorie greenspan)were such a hit that i decided to modify them and put out two varieties of those instead of going with a new recipe. since they already had lemon in them i wanted to do a lemon raspberry, and for the other i went with peppermint. i was a little reluctant to mix lemon with peppermint but let me just tell you…. i took one bite and i was in love. no, seriously, best cupcakes ive ever made. EVER.

i made my rounds again, hitting the departments and friends i had missed the day  before, and came to the realization that i am pretty much the opposite of the tooth fairy. i can live with that.
