Has anyone else thought about how strange that Boyz II Men
song is? I never thought about it
until right now (that it's stuck in my head)! But it came into my head because
yesterday was Mother’s Day and I love my Mama!! My Mom is the best (and yes you
have read this on fifty other blogs in the past two days…but really she is the
best)! She has always been there
for me and I feel so lucky to have her as a mother. I am so blessed to have a
lot of moms in my life—one mom, one step-mom, two grandmas, and wonderful
aunts! I am so thankful to have these great women in my life and the way that
they all mother inspires me to want to be like them in the future!
Speaking of imaginary future children (who needs a
husband!??!), I will be “the BEST mom ever” (this should be said like Monica from
Friends when she wants Phoebe’s grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe) because
I will make my kids some rockin’ baked goods! As a present to my Mom, who
always says something nice about my baked goods and inflates my ego, I decided
to make vanilla bean cupcakes with chocolate ganache, and get this…they were
heart-shaped (another inspiration for the title of this post).
I bought a cast-iron heart shaped muffin pan at a rummage
sale for $3 and was a little disappointed that I would have no real reason to
use it until Valentine’s Day and then Mother’s Day came along! These cupcakes
looked like the perfect recipe to make into little hearts and the ganache was
thin enough that it didn’t take away from the cute heart shape like a big layer
of icing might. The cupcakes were
adorable (and all vegan)! Why is it that when something is this cute, you just want to eat more
of it? Is that just me?
