I used to keep four sachets of lavender in my pillowcase to help me fall asleep. It really worked. Or maybe it was the Ambien that worked and the lavender just smelled good...one or the other.
Anyway.
With insomnia being just a lovely memory, my lavender needed a new job.
I knew vanilla and lavender was a good combo and so I was really excited when I found this recipe for Lavender Cream Filled Cupcakes. It was kind of an ambitious project for me--since I suck at making pretty much everything and my kitchen was a total disaster afterward, but the delicious end result was definitely worth the effort and mess.
(oh, and I totally substituted box mix for the actual cupcake part)
