Bakery Dreams

I may be running hard and training a lot for the upcoming half marathon, but I've also been eating goooood and making up for all that running. That's how it works, right? You run and workout so you can eat extra dessert, right? I'm pretty sure that's why I choose to be active.

My mom is incredible. Baking runs in our blood. It's a Giorgi/Heinz thing.

She recently created Margarita Cupcakes (picture tangy fresh lime cupcake with lime margarita frosting, crushed pretzels on the bottom and sprinkled on top) that were amazing.

Then, we fell in love with a Caffe Latte cupcake from a local cupcake bakery and the hunt for a similar recipe was on...and we take these recipe hunts very seriously.

Well, the hunt ended on Monday. My mom created a homemade chocolate cupcake with espresso buttercream frosting. Incredible. Seriously, the best cupcake that has even been baked in the Stow Canyon kitchen.

Confession: I ate one for breakfast the next morning.

My dream of owning a bakery or selling pies/cakes/cupcakes out of my kitchen (or a roving van??) will become a reality. Someday. And I know who my co-owner will be...my mom.
