Boy! It has been quite a while since I have updated my blog. Well maybe only a week but that is a lot in internet time. Last weekend was my families most cake filled weekend of the year. My sister's birthday was on sunday which we celebrated on saturday and my dad's 60th birthday was on monday. So we had two birthday cakes to eat. You're probably wondering why I'm telling you these random family cake facts. Its because on top of those two cakes I really wanted to make cupcakes. So I did and they were pretty awesome.

Cupcakes!

The cake I made with the extra cupcake mix and other ingredients.

       These magical cupcakes are lemon blueberry cupcakes filled with lemon curd and topped with cream cheese frosting. They are the fanciest cupcakes I have ever made and I think they are the best tasting too. I got the recipe from this website (http://theregoesthecupcake.com/2011/05/16/lemon-blueberry-cupcakes/) except I made cream cheese frosting instead of mascarpone cheese frosting and I used a different lemon curd recipe because I didn't have any corn starch. I still have a lot left. They are incredibly filling and I don't know what to do!
     I think it is time to talk about my video project and what I've been up to with that. The day before yesterday I painted two more illustrations. I really like them. I think I am getting better at my color choice and my painting speed. Today I spent all day condensing my videos. Condensed more than two hours of film into 6 and a half minutes. Whats even better is my computer didn't completely freak out. That means my system of working with film is working! One thing I did notice is that the first clips are getting lighter in color as they go back and forth between iTunes and iMovie. I don't really know how to fix that since I am moving all the videos at the highest quality I can which is 1080p. Hopefully it wont be too visible when I'm done editing. I think Im just a bit of a perfectionist. I hope you have anice day. I'l update again soon!

The two new illustrations!
