In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt.Line a cupcake tin with liners or grease with non-stick spray or coconut oil.I hope you’ll join me in the festivities 🙂 Print I am declaring today National Eat ALL THE CAKE Day (cupcakes count). And is the only thing I know with certainty will be a part of my next 25 years and then some. Whether it be Betty Crocker cake mix, oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies or Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Frosting, baking has and will forever be my happy place. I am thankfully nothing like the obnoxious, unibrow sporting teen I used to be but one thing has remained the same, my love of baking.
It’s crazy to think about how much can change in a year, or 10 years for that matter. Using the ultimate bday gift C got me for my birthday last year, of course. Partially because I’m picky and I know I am the only one who can give me exactly what I want and also because the best birthday treat is 2 blissful hours baking in the kitchen. It’s not about a number and it certainly is not about having it all figured out.Īnd sometimes, it’s about making your own birthday cupcakes because you know no one will do it as well as you can.Ībout that…I’m really okay with making my own birthday treat. It’s about taking every opportunity and never comparing them to anyone else’s. It’s about trying everything and not stopping until you find what you love. It’s about defining your own success regardless of what other people might think. It’s about enjoying the ride and those beautiful moments that happen when you’re not planning for the-next-best-thing. I’ve come to learn that life isn’t all about checking things off. And no, I still haven’t seen a Harry Potter movie… For the record I purposely added “drink more wine” to my 25-by-25 goal list because I knew I would accomplish that one. This is evidenced by the multitude of goals and lists posted on this blog from which I have accomplished a whopping 5 of them. Then again I always thought that that path involved med school and certainly not blogging so clearly I was way off.Īnd up until about 5 minutes ago I always thought that life was about checking off everything on your bucket list, but I have since discovered that I was very wrong about this too. I’d have all of life’s questions answered and would be on a path to accomplishing all that I wanted for my future. I’d always assumed that by 25 I would be a real adult. No one mentioned that 25 brings a whole new level of confusion! Yet at the same time I’m feeling overwhelmingly proud for everything I’ve accomplished in my 25 years. In case you can’t imagine it, it sits somewhere between checking my forehead for wrinkles and a very real state of panic. Let me just preface this post by mentioning that I freaked out on my 10th birthday because it meant I would never celebrate a single-digits birthday again…so yeah, you can imagine how I’m feeling right about now now that I’ve reached 25.
