2012 Project: 25 Cupcakes

I haven't made cupcakes in forever.

I make cookies, muffins and scones on a very regular basis, but I cannot remember the last time I made cupcakes.

I love all of the fabulous cupcakes I see around blogland and in magazines.

As I got thinking about some of my goals and challenges for 2012, I thought I should add cupcakes to the list as a baking challenge.

I thought about making a different cupcake recipe every week...for a total of 52 cupcakes.

But then I worried that 52 cupcakes might be a little too much...plus who is going to eat all those cupcakes?

Maybe 25 different cupcakes might be a more realistic goal for the year.

And you know what else I would like to learn how to do?

Pipe icing on the tops of those cupcakes....just like the picture above.

 So today is Project Cupcakes Take 1.
I know...perhaps it seems like a silly or frivolous goal, but we all need some silly to make life fun, don't we?

What goals or challenges have you set for yourself for 2012?
