I am a very bad cook.
Everyone knows this. I have made Pumpkin Bricks (aka: Pumpkin Bread without a rising agent), unleavened bread by accident, and even ruined a can of tomato soup. I am just not that handy when it comes to the kitchen, not to mention impatient and clumsy.
Enter Ina Garten and her Barefoot Contessa books, a birthday and a trip MgGuinnes Sisters' store to buy some yummy ingredients and suddenly.... cooking may not be that bad.
I am a nanny, and as such, my job comes with multiple different excitements, and this was one. Yesterday and today were spent happily cooking barefoot in a mansion kitchen with Michael Buble and Norah Jones for company.
The results? Happy me, who found out I really can cook, and the amazing-ness pictured above. My employer did most of it while I helpfully watched and offered advice, drank a homemade Starbucks brew and then took photos of the finished result.
Those cupcakes? German Chocolate with coffee and Coconut Icing. And I got to decorate them.
If I put that on a resume, would I get hired?
I gotta think so.
