Happy 30th birthday Melanie!
A few weeks ago, a friend of ours, Matt, asked me to make a special cupcake order for his girlfriend Melanie’s 30th birthday (which is today). I usually don’t do this, mainly because I don’t have the time or the space in my kitchen for tons of cupcake orders, let alone the patience to create […]

Bluffin’ with my muffin.
Is everyone recovered from St. Patrick’s Day? I am. I don’t ever party or get drunk, actually, on the 17th, especially this year. Usually just some good beer and maybe an Irish coffee after dinner. That’s against type for an Irish person, at least according to New York’s delightful Mayor Bloomberg. I’m quite aware that […]

I’m not Italian. Of the many Eastern & Western European & other nationalities I am, Italian is not one of them. It’s practically the only one I’m missing. But I’ve hung out with enough Italians, & eaten with enough Italians, including one of my uncles (by marriage) to know a lot about Italia. I’ve probably […]

Ireland (& cupcakes) forever!
Blue and green velvet cupcakes are pretty popular nowadays. They’re basically red velvet, with blue/green food coloring instead of red. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, a while back I decided that I wanted to do something green for St. Patrick’s Day. I wanted to do something REALLY green. Yes, it’s cliched, but whatever. So I […]

Cheesy, kinda Irish & loaded with alcohol.
No, not me. This recipe. This is the perfect St. Patrick’s Day recipe, and I’ve been dying to try it for so long. I like making macaroni & cheese in the fall & winter, and I’ve been putting off making this because I wanted to make it for this holiday. So it’s been waiting for […]

Whiskey-a-Go-Go.
You may read that and think of the popular, or should I say “world-famous” venue in Los Angeles, California. I see it and think of whiskey buttercream. No, not just whiskey buttercream, Irish whiskey buttercream… actually make that maple Irish whiskey buttercream. … … Say what? Oh, yes. I was inspired by Cupcake Royale, again. […]
Patriotic cake balls by Porter Cakes, photo by Visual Beginnings … Military Monday is something I’ve been doing for close to 2 years now. Every week I share a list of names of soldiers who have been killed in war, along with a photo of something with a patriotic theme. I figure remembering them this […]
