Treat yourself.

Some people call Valentine’s Day “Single’s Awareness Day.” I don’t really know why single people would get bent out of shape over Valentine’s Day- it’s about love. Not just romantic love, but familial love, love of friends, and love of yourself. If you’re single on Valentine’s Day instead of feeling bad, go buy yourself something! [...]

Cookie, cookie, me want cookie.

It just so happens that while I’m a cupcake (and brownie) person, my boyfriend is a cookie person. Me? I’d rather have a cupcake than a cookie. That’s not to say I don’t like cookies, I do… but if you give me a choice I’m picking a big, fat, vanilla cupcake with thick vanilla buttercream [...]

Candy cane cupcakes & why Yoyo rocks (again).

But alas, I’m here with a [...]

Caramels, apples, and crisp- oh my!

It totally feels like fall today. Its cool, its supposed to be around 40° degrees tonight and the air smells like that fall-y crisp smell. That smell that has a ’snap’ to it. I love the fall, its my favorite time of year. The fall fashions are always the best, and I love my boots. [...]

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 [...]

Anti-Valentine’s Day Cupcakes of Darkness.

Like (I think) I’ve said before, I love Valentine’s Day. But I am aware that there are many people who do not. For you I did this: Anti-Valentine’s Day Cupcakes of Darkness. They also remind me of Ozzy Osbourne cupcakes for some reason. I’ll make more of them on his birthday with little bat toppers. [...]

Double dark chocolate peanut butter mess-ups, that came out awesome anyway.

I was supposed to do real life things today, you know; grown-up things, such as updating my website, doing some graphic design work, etc. I also should have finished some D.I.Y. project type things I started days/weeks ago.
Instead… I made cupcakes. :/
Well… I did do some cleaning too, and caught up on some e·mails. And [...]

Mish-mosh leftover cupcakes.

I’m always being harrassed for cupcakes. Everyday, all hours of the day. Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes. Usually I oblige, theres always some recipe I’m dying to try. But I’m tired tonight; I spent the better part of the day reconstructing t-shirts & sewing them by hand so I (and my back and eyes) were too tired [...]

Tips, tricks & cheats!

Okay so, nobody is perfect. I always say it’d be a pretty boring world if we were. People mess up in different ways everyday; thats why there are erasers on pencils. And not everyone has every single ingredient they need for every single recipe at any given moment. I have a tendency to bake [...]
