Cookieventure # 2: Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

As previously mentioned, this weekend is all about requests. Thus, we're keeping the Cookie Book in the shelf for now and make use of another cookbook gift from my brother (which inspired this diary, actually). I know! He loves me too much that he buys these cool books for me. Or he maybe he just loves to eat, and wants me to make them for him. Haha. Whichever it is, I'm just grateful for it.

Cookieventure Intro: Julie & Julia

If you have watched the movie Julie & Julia, you may already guess what I'm up to, but for those who haven't seen the film I'll give you some insights.

Julie Powell idolized Julia Child so much that she challenged herself to make all the recipes in Julia Child's first cook book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, with the hopes of making herself a published author.

Ever since I have seen the movie, I have always wanted to do the same: not to make myself an author, but to challenge myself to make the most of the cook books I have by making each recipe. But due to budget constrains, and other plans during weekends and even holidays, this was always set aside.
