My sister is a pastry chef. She makes cupcakes from scratch and decorates them with homemade icing to look like this:
Those are meringue sticks on top. Oh, and jimmies. Also, she added a light dusting of cocoa.
I am not a pastry chef. I make one cupcake (a huge one) from a box of mix and decorate it with Pillsbury frosting in a can to make it look like this:
Those are m&ms on top. Not the mini-sized ones. Those are full-sized m&ms. That is a dinner plate holding the cupcake.
My sister has a degree from the California Culinary Academy.
I have a book called Cooking for Dummies that my mom bought me.
My sister has taught cooking classes, and once assisted Martin Yan when he taught a class.
I like to watch the Food Network.
In her job, my sister got to meet Bono and Bill Clinton.
In my job, I got to meet the guy who delivers our office supplies.
My sister will soon start a new job, working under a former Top Chef contestant.
I like to watch Top Chef.
My sister is a professional. She bakes sober. And as such, her cupcakes rock.
Despite the warning “Don’t drink and bake”*, I plan to do just that tomorrow with Stacy and McGee and some other fabulous ladies who do not heed our governor’s advice. Perhaps some alcohol will reveal my hidden talents?
*In what movie was that line spoken?
Those look fantastic!
I had to google the quote and was quite surprised by the results. It sort of makes me want to track down a copy of the movie.
See you tomorrow!
I haven’t had many “pregnancy cravings”, but cupcakes just happens to be one of the few I have had. I WANT that cupcake! Your sisters, not yours. Sorry hers just looks better. I tried making fancy one’s myself once and was hugely disappointed.
I so have a sweet tooth right now. And you just answered the question I posed on Flickr.
I want that cake!
I LOVE that you call them “jimmies”!
I would personally take either cupcake, as I’m sure they are equally tasty!
Dang, I definitely have the wrong sister!
But, that’s one hell of a cupcake you baked!
