I tried a new cupcake recipe. Strawberry Lime. They are very yummy!
TOday. I start Subbing! I have my first job this afternoon. And I already have two other opportunities later this week! I am so excited but nervous at the same time. At least they are little ones today.

Today...
I have completed all of the requirements to get my degree and y teaching certificate. Now I wait for two things. 1. Graduation-not until the 14th. 2.My Certificate to be effective-MONDAY!
So today I turned in my application to be a substitute teacher. I know that the district has needed more subs recently so I am hopeful that I will be kept busy. But in the process that means I have two full week days with NOTHING going on. I have discovered recently that I am TERRIBLE at having nothing to do. I can't sit around and twiddle my thumbs. Today, I watched the dog sleep. It has been a LONG day. I have read a LOT of blogs. I think tomorrow I will bake. There are so many cupcake recipes that I want to try. At least that will keep me busy in the morning.
Until then here is a not very clear picture of my pup Napili and my moms dog Fiona who turns 6 today!
Happy Birthday Fiona!

Here is the recipe for my very favorite cupcakes. I don't have a picture at the moment but I promise they will be a hit. I take them to all sorts of things and they always disappear. I usually make them in Mini form because it's just easier.
Ingredients:
1 Box Yellow Cake mix
1 Small box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 Cup oil
3/4 Cup Orange Juice (I use no pulp)
1/4 Cup Vodka
1/4 Cup Galliano
Heat Oven to 350
(or if you have one-a mini cupcake maker thats what I use)
Mix all ingredients together in Large Bowl until there are no more lumps
Fill cupcake tins and bake until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
On top-Mix some powdered sugar, orange juice and if you would like a tiny bit of vodka to a thin consistency and put a little on top of the cupcakes when they are still warm-it will work like a glaze.
This batter can also be used as a cake in a bundt pan in which you should grease and flower the pan then bake for 35-40 minutes. Depending on the oven. Then pour the glaze over the top and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
This cake will be moist and melt in your mouth. ENJOY!
Updated (12/20/11): This cake is traditionally made in a Bundt pan and covered with a glaze of Orange juice and powdered sugar (and I usually add a little bit of Vodka to it-just a tiny bit) It is ALWAYS a hit! I linked up here also.
