Adventures in Baking

I recently moved to Aurora, Co and I have found out about the joys of high altitude baking. The joy is actually more like a disappointment. My cupcakes come out with drooping centers and my cookies, well lets just say bleh. Leave it to me to ruin the traditional Toll House cookie. So I guess I found out that I have to now start following the directions for high altitude.  I will say this though, I have become a frosting master. I can frost a hollow center like no other lol.

You would never be able to tell that this little beauty has a divot in the center.

If you are interested in the recipe I used the cake recipe from here: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Buttermilk-Chocolate-Cupcakes?keycode=ZPIN0113.
