Lesson's Learned

Adele =)

Curlycakes- boston cream pie

White lies- harry =)

There are so many times when I hear, oh your young you'll make mistakes and learn from them. But sometimes I think do we really learn from them, in all honesty I feel most people have to make the same mistake many times to really learn from them. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so, were always learning new things and changing but even with learning we have to see it more then once to finally get it. That is the same with making mistakes. Today I had to quit a job that to be truthful I did not want to work at all, and unfortunately for me I took forever to tell the chef that till the day I actually started work. Was it responsible of me? not at all, but it is a lesson that I learned, you have to go with your gut sometimes. And if your gut says no you have to tell that person RIGHT AWAY I don't want that position or in any situation. HONESTY IS KEY especially from the start, and learning from your mistakes is always a good thing. But don't feel bad if you don't get it right away I'm only 23 and I am still making the same mistakes and learning from them.


By The Way: I gave up on the cupcake writing because I am not to fond about the places I have been to thus far. Sweet and Curlycakes have really been a disappointment for me. So I'm debating what to write. I think for now it will just be about my life and experience.

I'm having a block

So as you all can see I did a new post about my cupcakes that I have been waiting to do for a while. But I want to apologize it literally has taken forever to write it, and I think it's because it's something out of my element fully. As much as I would love to be able to write, in a way that it just flows right now I can not. But I do hope you stick by me while I improve on my writing skills.

Cupcake's here we go

So it's has been a while this time. I truthfully just did not know what to write cause I just wanted so badly to start with my cupcake writing. And of course I could't start with out Karl-lydie, and of course she couldn't do it cause she is currently in L.A.! for the next couple of days, the lucky lady. So instead I did it with someone who in all honesty should have sort of been my first choice. This person is someone who like me LOVES cakes, cupcakes, and pretty much anything with frosting lol. So it was my sister Zian (14), actually it is both of my sisters that helped (Avianna,14 is the other). So one is the taster, Zian, and Avianna is my picture taker.

So we start!
SWEET BAKERY- harvard sq., newbury street, and backbay

At the time that we went, which was last week Monday. My sisters being friend's with Jewish people were doing what you should do on passover and not eating wheat or anything with gluten. So keep in mind that we have a regular cupcake and two gluten free cupcakes that we tasted. Which is actually a good thing cause we could now critique another flavor/ texture of cupcakes. My cupcake was the dark chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting. While my sisters had the vanilla gluten free cupcake with vanilla frosting. Here is the review we have for you all:

First the chocolate cupcake: while it does look amazing! the taste just didn't meet up to standards. For me personally I felt it was so much frosting with a little cake that to me, was just dry and average. Nothing short of a cupcake that you could get a stop and shop that is a lot moister and probably has a better design for the frosting. My little sister Zian did have a quick bit and she was impressed, but even in her opinion said she couldn't taste the cake because of the fact that there was so much frosting.

Second is the gluten free cupcake: I have to say that I am not a fan of anything gluten free, so I will be very biased in this review. To me of course since it is gluten free the cake is more,stiffer? a lot thicker. But for me it was a more flavorful then the chocolate cupcake. To be quiet honest I will need my sisters to right this review so until next week hopefully!!!!
