Cupcake Time

I just HAD to share my first HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING SUCCESS SEMI SUCCESS!!!!


Everyone warned me before we got here how different and difficult it is to bake at high altutude (we sit at about 7000 ft).....well..........it's true. I wish i had pictures of my first few baking disasters but needless to say the first night I tried, we ended up at the Cowboy Cafe eating peach cobbler (which was very delish by the way)....but I was determined to work this out.... I searched for some cupcake recipes and tried one. Now I say semi-success for a couple of reasons- first of all- they actually rose up instead of puffing out of the pan and then turning in to a puddle. Secondly- even though they look yum I will never mislead you in my posts, I will always tell the complete truth even if it hurts......the taste was.....well.......somehwhat like dense, stale cake!!.....but thankfully, the boys are my biggest fans and their palate is not quite refined yet :)
