Old Fashioned Cupcakes

I have been wanting to make this

old fashioned cupcake recipe for a long time.

I was sick today, so I decided to make

them to pass the time this evening.

A friend had gave me a magazine

called "Where Woman Cook."

It features women all over the world

that cook in practical kitchens.

It's a wonderful magazine I would

recommend to anyone.

These cupcakes are delicious.

They are different than most cupcakes,

they are more like a shortcake.

I added fresh peaches to the batter

and icing, and they taste just like summer.

A moist cupcake topped with creamy, peach icing.

 I love buying printed cupcake papers.

Cool frosting and ice generously.

I ate one... then had to eat another one for this photo.

Place on a plate and off to a picnic you go.
