Before I found my favorite sour cream almond wedding cake I would make these cupcakes, I didn't want to lose this recipe in case I wanted to use it again,

Nourishing of souls:
I just read a wonderful book by a Rabbi who shares the beauty of suffering.  He shares many stories of people who have cried on his shoulder needing comfort when going through hard things. One chapter stuck out when he said "Life is long" (as most people say life is short) But his point was that sometimes the only thing that can mend heartache is time.  And Life is long enough for that.  It allows us time to get over hard things.  Also, things do get better with time, so luckily life is filled with time!
