The first thing I did was buy these fabulous books Cookies and Cupcakes from Barnes and Noble for the killer deal of $8.00 each! Let me just start buy saying it was neither the recipes or the deal that persuaded me to buy them but the beautiful photography. Mixing interiors and inspiration boards with delicious foods is in my mind brilliant!

I never intended on actually baking anything from my beloved books, but my sisters pleaded. Anyone who knows me knows, I am a disaster in the kitchen. That is until I baked cupcakes from my best buy ever cupcake book! Let me just say these were the best cupcakes I have ever had in my entire life, and I have had some cupcakes! Now it did take me three trips to the grocery store, one in which I stared at the chocolate selection for a good five minutes trying to find bittersweet chocolate chips, but oh the results!

Go buy these books, you will thank me later (hopefully with cupcakes!)
