This month the Daring Baker’s Challenge was a blast. French chocolate éclairs! Now, honestly, I never ever would’ve made these on my own. Well, maybe, if I’d gotten a request and been bugged and harrassed I may have looked into éclair recipes and tried it. But I never would have thought of it myself. Mainly […]

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, thats amore!
Is there anyone who doesn’t like pizza? Maybe you don’t like sauce on it, maybe you only like mushrooms and anchovies, maybe you’re one of those weirdos who likes ham and pineapple (thats just sacreligious to me).. but either way, you HAVE to like pizza. I’m from New York, and here we have quite a […]

Someone’s been drinkin’ the Kool-Aid!
As a kid I really wasn’t into Kool-Aid. I was more of a soda drinker, really. That and.. the Kool-Aid man kinda creeped me out a bit. I’m told my great-grandfather was a big fan of it however. Kool-Aid, that is, not the Kool-Aid man. And when I was in middle school I had a […]
‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ is one of my favorite movies ever. The first time I saw it I was working as an intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was 17 years old (yeah, I really worked there when I was 17) and got to work early… while waiting for my two fellow interns and […]
Hearing: Life of Agony – “Weeds” I just wanted to apologize if anyone experienced any difficulties viewing the site this evening. I had some technical issues and had to switch layouts, causing me to make this one on the fly. But after much cursing, a lot of coding, and a lot of rearranging- its finally […]

Knitting & coffee… cupcakes.
In my ongoing quest to keep my audience entertained, I try and find interesting and unique cupcake (or cake, or dessert, really) ideas and images, aside from my own. I stumbled upon this a few months back and lost track of it, so luckily I’m good with a Google search… Seriously? Seriously. Knitting cupcakes! I […]
Does anyone notice anything similar between my logo (see top of page) and this Hot Topic bag? In case you don’t see it: cupcake, and a needle in the frosting. Hm. Now, I don’t flatter myself that anyone who designs tote bags would rip me off… but come on now. This is Hot Topic we’re […]
I love rootbeer. My one true love, soda-wise, is Coke Zero however… I occasionally will cheat with rootbeer (oh… and Dr. Pepper, what a slut!). Sometimes, ya just need a nice, cold, frosty rootbeer. Rootbeer floats, I’m not incredibly into. Maybe cuz I’m really not into ice cream, but anyway… I’m not really big on […]
Wow I’ve been gone a while. Well I’m back now, and tonight I will be making some tasty treats, I swear… I know I lied last time but I was super busy what with going away and all so I bailed. But this time its true. Also, I’ve got some Cupcake Rehab store news… *drumroll*…. […]
Well not quite. I’m going away again in a week and its really been too humid and hot to bake. BUT.. have no fear. I plan on possibly baking something cupcake-ish this weekend before I go away, and of course, I will post it and my adventures creating it. For now however, look at these […]
