Dare to dream of magical cupcakes.

You all know i'm awful at cooking. I mean, just awful. I suck. A lot. And it's not about trying harder either. I think i'm genetically restrained.

In any case, I just learned Thinkgeek is selling a mini cupcake machine. Make batter, shove batter, get a cupcake in five minutes.

Behold it right here.

NO MORE BURNING AND LOTS OF CUPCAKES? YES PLEASE.

EDIT : I wish the whole thing really worked like magic, but I guess it probably doesn't. Really, i'm more interested in the gadget and "magical cupcake" aspect then the product itself.

Maybe I should look into pasty fairies instead.

Woah, this reminds me of my childhood. Easy bake oven, anyone?

Boo. I probably would have never bought it in the end (I don't like buying things like that online since you can't test them out). But I would love to have cupcakes that magically appear in five minutes.

Hey, I tried learning. I even worked at a bakery once. But for some reason, when I cook for myself, it fails. Maybe I just don't like myself, or something.

Six minutes, but same difference. Why not just befriend someone local who will bake for or with you? As with everything, I bet if you had a patient teacher, there are a lot of things you could learn and gain some confidence in. (And I find it really weird you said the other day on my blog you could cook, yet here you say you can't.)

I can't bake I guess is what I meant to say. I can cook soups and meals decently enough. Or at elast I though I could. But i've been told again lately that my food was horrible.

...So now i'm pretty much convinced I suck no matter what, since when I was thinking I was getting better, apparently it was sucking.

The question is, did you enjoy the food you made?

I am very good at cooking and baking, but that didn't mean people loved my food. I make it tailored to my tastes (like making food very spicy), which not everyone likes. No matter what you do, someone is bound to think you are a terrible cook because your food doesn't taste good to them.
