Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes
These cupcakes were delicious! I loved how moist and dark the cake was and the bacon added a really great element. I forgot to save some bacon to sprinkle on top, which I think would have made them even better. This is my go-to chocolate cake recipe now, with or without the bacon. For the frosting I used a basic cocoa buttercream and then lightly sprinkled sea salt on the top of each cupcake to bring out the rich flavors.

Simple White Cake
I'm on the hunt for the perfect white cake to make cupcakes for my parent's 40th anniversary. I scaled this recipe down to just make a few cupcakes to try out and I have to say I'm disappointed. Normally I love cake that is dense and has some body to it, but this was was more like cornbread. It didn't taste terrible, but it wasn't great either. I used other people's suggestions too. It wasn't dry, but just not the texture that I'm looking for. I will keep on looking.

Traditional White Bread
Incredibly easy to make, pretty fool-proof. The loaves turned out beautiful (except for the fist print that my one year old decided to leave in the dough while it was rising!) In my oven I only had to bake for twenty minutes. Any longer and it would have been hard. The only thing that I didn't like about it is the yeast taste is a little more pronounced that I like. I usually never eat white bread, so maybe that is the issue.
