Buttercream to Soothe the Soul


My mom told me I might be really stressed once I start my new job.

My mom was right.

So yesterday, I did what I do, when such stress occurs.

I baked.

Goodness, this relaxes me. I fall into a lovely trance. And suddenly I have cupcakes and more importantly cupcake batter, which is the yummiest of all. And then I make buttercream to put on top. Italian meringue buttercream. Which seriously if you have not tried, you must, because it will change your life.

You know that frosting that leaves a film on the roof of your mouth? Well this stuff does no such thing. It's light and smooth and melts in your mouth with delicacy. Honestly, you will want to eat it right out of a bowl- cupcake optional.

Which is what I did last night. And as that luscious buttercream made its way in my mouth, dancing with and dazzling my tastebuds, I relaxed. ahhhhhh.

And then I gave the cupcakes away. Because what does one do with 24 cupcakes?
