"Martha Stewart's Cupcakes" Challenge

Hello All, Let me start off my saying that I'm not a Chef...I just LOVE to BAKE. And after seeing the movie 'Julie and Julia', I got inspired. Last year, I received the book "Martha Stewart's Cupcakes" for my birthday. I love everything Martha does ( yes, we're on a first name basis here)... So why don't I bake through the "175 Inspired Ideas for Everyone's favorite Treat"! So if anyone wants to follow along, I'm using "Martha Stewart's Cupcakes", from the editors of Martha Stewart Living, Clarkson Potter/Publishers, New York, 2009. Here I Go!!!!
