Chocolate Cupcakes

I really, really shouldn't have made the chocolate cupcakes. We've already devoured half the batch. I had frozen the other half, along with some frosting, thinking that they would last for a while, but it is not to be. I'm afraid my pants won't fit by the end of the weekend.

I modified the Magnolia Chocolate Cupcake recipe by substituting 1/2 cup cocoa powder for 1/2c of flour, used cake flour, and used cream instead of buttermilk. I also should have added cinnamon to the recipe, because it would have tasted great. I'll have to try that next time. :)

Eggs are here!

At last, I have finished the pattern for the eggs. This one has given me quite a bit more trouble than some of the other patterns have. I was having fits trying to get the round counts to come out correctly. Now, having edited the pattern, I'm positive that I only made one of my three examples correctly, and two of them have waaaaay too many stitches in them.

I weighted two of mine to use as beanbags, and I think they're a lot more fun that way. They have this great feeling in your hand, and best of all, they stand up!
