the xmas cake

I’m so proud of this cute little cake. It’s 3 layers of gingerbread cake with eggnog cream filling and cream cheese frosting. Delicious! I took some pics with my real camera, but let Will borrow it for his trip so I can’t upload those pics.
I need a bakery.

sweet treats

I just realized that I never posted pictures of what I took to The AA, his mom and sister last Friday night, so here they are:

photo shoot

I love pics of me. When Will and I lived together our camera whoredness resulted in many, many photo shoots. Thousands of pics of me are on my blackberry – yes, thousands. Imagine how many are on the wine-killed laptop!
For your viewing pleasure I now bring you some pics Allison took at [...]

cuddly cake

It’s Cuddles in a cupcake!
And I can’t stop laughing!
That’s a fruit roll-up tongue, bt-dubs.

such a porker

I am not sure I’ve sufficiently expressed my love of HoneyBaked Ham for lunch. It’s one of my latest addictions – specifically the Tavern Club, which consists of half a pig in the form of ham, the smoked breast of a whole turkey, bacon, 2 slices of swiss cheese, lettuce and mayo on marble [...]

the first try

Ok, so I decided to try shipping the 8 cupcakes I had left over from yesterday’s bake sale. My aunt in MI has been blowing up my facebook page with requests since she ate one when I was up there, so she is the first person I’m testing it on.
It cost me $7.50 to [...]

today was a good day

And now the song is stuck in me head.
I sent AA a text this morning to tell him good luck with his interview for a job with a big accounting firm this afternoon. This was something we’d talked about Saturday night and I could tell he was touched I remembered. I gave him advice – [...]

finally!

I have FINALLY set up my food blog.  I’ve been longing to have one forever, so last night when I cooked for Will I paid special attention to the amounts of ingredients I added.  This has been my biggest problem with having a food blog – I don’t measure.
Hate to say it, though….I won’t be [...]

chocolate rasperry cupcakes

I think I nailed it again.
Chocolate cake, rasperry filling, cream cheese frosting.  Damn good.

weekend cupcake pictures

I actually used my camera to take some pics of cupcakes this weekend.  Usually I just use the blackberry, but I do have an actual camera. 

go away

I’m so tired of this stupid rain!  I don’t think it’s stopped in over a week and it’s sooo annoying. I have white pups who are big pansies about getting their feet wet, so walks are a huge pain.
I finally accomplished something today – hung curtains in my living room and bedroom, hung pictures in [...]

cupcakes galore

My co-workers are going to love me this week when I bring in oodles and oodles of cupcakes. I have cookies n cream, red velvet, banana peanut butter and a few margarita to take to them. It’s gonna be like cupcake fest up in there. I’m not above baking my way into hearts across the [...]

cookies n cream cupcakes

These are quite yummy!  Especially the frosting.
We have a super moist chocolate cake filled with bavarian cream and topped with Oreo cream cheese frosting.  Sooo good!

One of my favorite food blogs has an adorable recipe for Margarita jello this morning!
I missed adding my entry to the cupcake contest for this month, but check out some of the entries.
By far one of the most amazing bakers I’ve found…actually I think she’s more of an artist.  And I’m thankful that she’s in [...]

pumkin spice anything

As much as I looove being tan (surprised?) and therefore love the summer, I also totally adore the fall. The cute clothes, the leaves changing, the crisp breeze, the cute jammies that get to come back out….and – last, but certainly not least – pumpkin spice lattes. They are, after all, the only time I [...]

a cake?

From time to time people ask me if I make cakes and I always say no – because I don’t. Just cupcakes. Everyone saw how ugly the cupcakes were when I started….I can only imagine how I’d jack up a cake!
But earlier this week a woman in my office practically begged me to make her [...]

par-tay time

Babs‘ birthday celebration was super fun!  And she looked awesome!
 
 
 
And the cupcakes!  They were a big hit and I couldn’t have been happier!

homemade granola

I love granola in the morning with yogurt and bananas. Lately I’ve been killing myself by eating bagels with loads of cream cheese and I’ve been missing my granola.  So this morning when I was looking in my cupboard and noticed all my sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds I decided it was time to try [...]

chocolate mint cupcakes

Chocolate cake, chocolate mint frosting

happy ideas

I was annoyed that they set up that stupid Employee Appreciation game right behind my desk, thus ensuring it would be loud and I wouldn’t be able to get my work done (read:I wouldn’t be able to freely read blogs without someone noticing). But then when I got home tonight I realized I had to [...]
