Strawberry Cupcakes

By now, you guys mst ve noticed  that I'm a great cupcake lover or rather a lazy (amateur) baker !! I love to bake cookies and cupcakes always; may be because of the easiness of the baking process. Nothing can go wrong while baking these...; i guess...

  6. Hasna,
    Pizza does not come under the category of sourdough unless you use sourdough starter to make pizza. I have put up couple of bread baking posts. Check it out and one of them is exclusively on sourdough. If you use a preferment or sponge wherein you mix water, flour and tiny bit of yeast and let it ferment overnight and then use that to make any baked good, it qualifies for the event. Let me know if you have any more questions.
