About a month ago, me and my brain-twin Sami went to go see Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Before she arrived in Manhattan, I went to Starbucks and grabbed a peppermint hot chocolate to drink while I wait, since it was so cold. When she got there, she asked me what I […]

Santa’s Special Red Velvet cupcakes.
Typically, as I’ve mentioned before, I make two different kinds of cupcakes for any particular holiday. Really , I only do this if I plan on making something that isn’t a basic cupcake, or something I know not everyone will eat. That way I can make a “unique” cupcake or one thats an acquired taste, […]
Jack Frost cupcakes.
I’ve been away for too long, I’m aware of that. I haven’t been doing much baking- instead my time has been spent decorating, planning gifts, making lists and checking them twice, and most importantly, being sick and battling crowds of germy holiday shoppers in stores (which is how I got sick, by the way). I’m […]
Neapolitan ‘happy 1st birthday to Cupcake Rehab’ cupcakes.
I’m not really a fan of strawberry, I like fake strawberry taste, and I like the smell, and when I was a kid I loved Strawberry Shortcake and even went as her for Halloween once when I was a wee tadpole.. but I don’t particularly like the berry itself. As a matter-of-fact I hate berries, […]

In case you don’t know what that is, its a soft, lead-glazed, low-fired type of pottery used most often in “chado” or “Tea Ceremony.” Raku Ware is a style of pottery […]
Magnolia’s vanilla “snowcakes” with coconut snow
I had to bake tonight. I HAD to. I had a new apron and new Wilton supplies just sitting there looking at me mournfully. I had all these ideas swimming through my head but I thought of this yesterday and liked it a lot. Originally, they were going to be coconut cupcakes with cream cheese […]

I hope all you cookin’ & bakin’, movin’ & shakin’ wives/girlfriends get KitchenAid stand mixers tomorrow, or a pretty apron, and if not, I hope you at least get cupcakes… or flowers (and I hope you guys all get something sweet too). Yoyo is having a 13% […]
Frequently (or not so frequently) Asked Questions Here we have some questions I’ve received either through e-mail or other conversations, and I thought it might be useful to have a section here for them. Got a question? Ask it. First, I’ll just state some general website information for all you other geeks. Web design/layout/template editing: […]
Everything (mostly) all in one place Note: I put off doing this for awhile, mainly because it felt like a huge undertaking. But I have to admit it will indeed come in handy, not just for you readers, but for me. Sometimes sifting through the categories or archives can be fun. Other times… frustration central. […]
