I wanted to share these cupcakes before the weekend so you would be able to celebrate president's day with some sweets!
Anyone up for a little history refresher?!?
Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States.
::thanks google::
You've probably all heard that story about Washington chopping down his father's prize cherry tree. However, historians now say that the story is just that. a story. It's been used to illustrate Washington's honesty and moral uprightness for over two hundred years. True or not, it sticks out in my mind... and I wanted to reward Washington and his honesty with some cupcakes!
Cherry Vanilla Cupcakes
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (room temp)
2 teaspoons vanilla

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (room temp)

Happy President's Day!

Too Funny! Those are the same two I was JUST deciding between! I mean, JUST! As in, I (30 min ago) received my new phone :) I chose the iPhone and the last 30 minutes has been great :)
I can't help with the phone vote! I want an iPhone (currently have a blackberry) but the hubs swears by his droid. Love to hear what you choose!
