baked by sauce: omg! my first cupcake delivery!

everyone loves surprises right? i was always the kid who discouraged her younger sister to stop looking under my moms bed for the christmas presents. recently greg of geekhouse bikes got in contact with me via twitter about surprising one of his coworkers (and friend) for his birthday with some bakedbysauce cupcakes. of course i accepted the invitation!

i only have a few recipes mastered right at this point, but have been really craving some inspiration to create something new. greg suggested something with apple or chocolate and sparkly like his new bike is. i found sublime recipes for both - but went with the chocolate because i realized......GASP.....ive never made a chocolate cupcake from scratch ever.

this afternoon, i ventured out to the geekhouse labratories in lower allston, and wished brad a very happy birthday.he turned 27 on the 27th -- which my mom always told me was a lucky year ahead.

though my visit wasn't long, i got a shop tour, which was really amazing. they are running an incredible operation right in my city and was happy to supply them with some treats to keep them going. thankfully, they have an ill camera as well.

here are some shots from the beginning to the end of this fun surprise!
