When my son was in Kindergarden I held the crazy idea that to be a good mother, one must sent cupcakes to school on his birthday for the whole class to share. And not just store bought cupcakes, but homemade cupcakes.
And so I went to the store, found the baking isle and quickly located the cake mixes. I stood there scanning the selections: Devils Food Cake, Angel Food Cake, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Vanilla Cake, Rainbow Cake . . . the selections seem endless. Now, all I wanted was a simple white cake so I could bake and then frost the tops with icing. But I looked and looked and couldn't find any white cupcake mix.
They must be out of stock, I thought, so I left the store and when to a different store looking for some cupcake mix. Same deal - the shelves were stocked with a ton of selections of cake mix, but not one box of cupcake mix was to be found.
I was beginning to get frustrated, but knowing that this was the first year my son would be celebrating his birthday at school, I really wanted to send some special homemade cupcakes with him.
And so, I went to a third store. Again, the same thing happened - the shelves has so many cake mixes, but not one cupcake mix box could find. I was starting to get frustrated, so I phone my good friend and relayed the entire story, complaining that I couldn't find a cupcake mix anywhere.
I was met with hystarical laughing coming out of the phone.
I've come a long way since searching for the elusive Cupcake Mix, here is my very first, (made from scratch) homemade cake:
Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing.
