smoky skies + red velvet cupcakes

we're in the midst of another fire here in kelowna, almost exactly a year after the one in glenrosa. luckily the fire crews seem to have it contained which is wonderful news! hopefully the wind stays at bay and the temperatures stay cool tomorrow so they can finish it off.

on a happier note, this is what i got up to this evening:


i made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing! it was my first time making them, but now that i have the oven in this place figured out, it's opened up a whole lot of cupcake opportunities!

i have my WFTDA skills re-testing tomorrow, and i'm currently nursing an injured knee. wish me luck...
