Sunshine Cupcakes & Homemade Oreos!

Today, I wanted to bake. Whenever I want to bake, I end up unable to decide upon one sole recipe to make. I always end up wanting to make this and this and maybe a little of that, too. I was stuck between making homemade oreos or sunshine cupcakes, so I ended up convincing Pam to come over so we could make them both! She said she would bring all her fun shapes of silicone cupcake holders over! She was still busy at work, and Navi was all antsy, so I took Navi on a walk to the library for some seperation anxiety training. I am currently trying to work on showing Navi that it's OK to be tied to a post while I go into a building for a few minutes. I don't think she believes that we'll come out and get her again. Tim tied her to a bench a few weeks ago and went into the library for five seconds. I did it again today, but lurked inside for a few minutes. She's not a big fan of the situation but I'm trying to get her to be more relaxed about it.

We wandered back home, and then Pam wandered over to the apartment. We baked up a storm, and by the end of the night, we had some incredible homemade oreos that I will definitely make again. We also had a batch of wonderful sunshine cupcakes, which are a lemony orange cupcake with a tart icing. I found the recipe in my williams sonoma baking recipe book. I gave the cupcakes 5 stars...and I think I give the homemade oreos 5 stars, too!
