All we want for Christmas is… everything!

A while back I did a post on “Coveted Cupcakery”- items that were cupcake-related that I thought would make excellent gifts, and I’d link to it, but sadly most of the items were Etsy items or Johnny Cupcakes items and they’re no longer for sale (that post was done in 2007, give me a break [...]

Leyna’s Kitchen rocks.

A few weeks ago I was asked to try some of the cupcakes made by Leyna at Leyna’s Kitchen since Leyna was going to be in NY. I was incredibly intrigued to taste them, because I was told these cakes include no oil, butter or shortening whatsoever. Well, things got a bit crazy and I [...]

Cupcakes for a Cure.

Just writing that subject made me think of that episode of Sex & The City where Samantha finds out she has breast cancer and goes to the “hot” New York oncologist (Dr. McAndrew, who really exists) and in a desperate attempt to get an appointment, she starts running through all the breast cancer benefits she’s [...]

Periodic Table of Cupcakes!

I was always really good in Science, and I loved Chemistry. I got an 88 on my Chemistry Regents exam in sophomore year as a matter of fact (which pales in comparison to the 90 I got on the Global Studies Regents, but I digress…). I had an awesome teacher (hi, Mrs. Mullen!) and really [...]

Whatchu talkin’ bout, Watkins?

Well its the new year, so happy 2009! I hope you all had a lovely holiday filled with family, friends, and even more importantly- lots of good food, cupcakes, alcohol and gifts. And of course a happy and healthy start to the new year as well.
Speaking of gifts, I myself was gifted some pretty nifty [...]

Click image for details on the ‘Obamacakes.’
As of this evening, November 4th 2008 at 11 p.m. EST, Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America. I’m even more proud to be an American today than I normally am. His story is a real American story; proof that you can be [...]

Moo cards & eyeballs, & schnitzel with noodles.

Okay maybe not schnitzel with noodles. I’m thinking of that song Julie Andrews sang in ‘The Sound of Music.’ But definitely Moo Cards and eyeballs. Today I got two packages in the mail. One from the wonderful Lyns (Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Bakery & Cupcakery Supplies) and one from Foodbuzz. I was anticipating getting Lyn’s package, [...]

Shoofly cupcakes, direct from Penn Dutch country.

Hearing: Social Distortion – “Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash cover)”
While I was away in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago (actually more like almost 2 months ago… wow time flies!), I became addicted to shoofly pie. I never liked it before, really, but I went into a place called Dutch Haven and as soon as [...]

Apron overkill.

Last year I did a post called ‘Coveted Cupcakery’ in which I listed tons of items that were cupcake related that I was lusting after. Well… I’ve been meaning to sit down and do one specifically for aprons… since aprons are oh-so-hot right now and there are so many out there that I’m in love [...]

Hungry for change.

Just some plain vanilla cupcake porn for you all today. My cupcakes wore little Obama toppers made by Natalie of Bake & Destroy! fame. Why? Well, I don’t know. Other than the fact that hes got my vote in November, I just felt like it. (Although maybe watching the RNC had a little something to [...]

“These muffins are bananas!”

… Get it? Bananas? This entry is about chocolate chip banana muffins…? *ahem* Okay… tough crowd.
When I was going to F.I.T., there was a cafe across the street (27th Street) from there, called Cafe 27, that had the best muffins ever. I was addicted, despite the price of $50.00 a muffin (not really, but it [...]

Breakfast Cupcakes at Tiffany’s.

‘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 [...]

Cupcake lawsuit.

Sprinkles Cupcakes doesn’t like when you mess with their dots.
Sprinkles, a well-known company much beloved by celebrities such as Oprah, is suing Famous Cupcakes for using a dot design on their website. Sprinkles has apparently trademarked this concentric dot-within-a-dot design for themselves, and although they only use these dots on their cupcakes… they’ve decided that [...]
