"Snickerdoodle"ing...

The end of the school year always means a LOT of baking for the Fujii household. I must have gone through a few pounds of butter at least, in the last couple of weeks.  I like to have a beautiful cupcake sitting on the students' desks when they walk in.  It takes some of the edge off of their final.  Not all, but some!

Last night, I tackled a new recipe - Martha Stewart's Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with her Seven Minute Frosting.  They were fairly simple, smelled delicious, and they were gobbled up, crumbs and all!  I loved the frosting, which was surprisingly thick - though it doesn't really look it.  It had a great sheen to it, and made for a very festive piece of desk art!
