Since I have already started school and Nate should sometime around now I believe, the summer challenge game is coming to an end. I know it's sad isn't it? But that doesn't mean the blog has to stop! Oh no, of course not! I think it is great, well when I actually post. Anyways, back to the point. I have decided to stop the challenges--it is difficult for me to get ingredients and time--but the posting and cooking will not stop!
Whenever either of us cooks, we will post and hopefully I'll get pictures up... Maybe this time too we can comment on each others posts and have a sort of conversation between the two blog authors.
Nate, what do you think of this idea? =)

Late, Late, Late...Butterbeer Cupcakes!
Alright guys, I am so sorry that I keep being so late! I will actually try to be on time this time. If I don't have a recipe completed or pictures, I will try my best to write at least something. It will be a lot easier now too because I have gotten my fixed computer back! Yay! My memory was wiped, but other than that it is fantastic!
For my baking challenge, I decided to make cupcakes! I know, I know, it's not really that much of a surprise considering how much I love cupcakes, but it was still exciting to make. This time, I had lots of help, or lots of teaching whichever you'd like to call it. I had my two friends over for a little get together, my one friend was going away for a bit so we wanted to see her before she left. Her name was Amanda and my other friend was Robbie. Firstly, I need to say that they are both amazingly awesome and I love them and I had a great time hanging out. Secondly, it was a sort of get together for my birthday because it was around my birthday...so Amanda brought all the ingredients to my house! It was so nice of her since I don't have much at my house right now. We decided to make, well I kinda decided to make and asked if it was ok, Butterbeer Cupcakes!
They turned out delicious, but so sugary! I might've eaten some of the frosting and the ganache while I was making it, oh and maybe a couple mini cupcakes too...but besides that I only had 1 cupcake. That 1 little simple cupcake made me so hot it was ridiculous! (I get very overheated when I have too much sugar) It was so good though! I wish I hadn't dropped them the next day...

Cinnamon Pull Aparts
For this weeks baking challenge I wanted to make something sugary and delicious so I decided to make a recipe that sounded pretty good and been thinking about for a while, some cinnamon pull aparts.
They're quite easy, all you really need is butter, sugar, cinnamon, and dough.
I started by mixing together 1/2 cup sugar and 2 1/2 teaspoon c
innamon in one bowl
and melted 1
third cup of butter in a separate bowl. Next I got a Pillsbur
y biscuit dough (mostly because they are easier to handle and pop up just right) and cut each biscuit into 4 individual slices. After that I put each biscuit into the butter, rolled it around
and flopped it over to the cinnamon sugar until it was covered in sugar and then placed it on the pan. I did this with each one and stacked them on top of each other.
I set the oven to 400 degrees and put it on for about
20 mins. I had a large pan and you're really supposed to use a loaf pan for this so mine expanded and stuck to the pan quite viciously.
I think I needed to spray the pan alot better because it was hell trying to neatly get them off the pan. But once I succeeded I spread them on a plate and served. The recipe was easy and it didnt take very long to make. I highly recommend this fun desert :D

Birthday Challenge
I so need to get back on the ball with this blog! I am so sorry, but hopefully this will be the last time that I will get off track...I've been having problems with my computer so at the moment I do not have one =( I have still yet to decide whether or not to get it fixed or to buy a new one, so until then I am going to be using my iPod so no pictures sorry!
This week's challenge is, besides a little late, going to be a simple challenge (or challenging if you want). Tomorrow is my birthday (yay!) so the challenge will be to bake something, anything you'd like. Simply because I love baking and it should be fun. And yes, the baking is meant to be baking, not cooking. Have fun! That's the goal afterall =)
