In case you've totally missed all the fun this far, Cupcakery (my book) is officially here! This last week has been a whirlwind of emotions as I was able to watch you guys share your excitement while receiving your books over social media. From the bottom of my heart, I can not thank you enough. While I have many many many more sobbing thank you's I'm going to save those for another post later ... [ read more... ]

Pistachio Almond Ice Cream (No Machine!)
Last year I spent weeks researching ice cream makers. I really wanted to make ice cream at home but I was unhappy with my research outcome. It seemed that in order to have a machine that made great ice cream I was going to fork over quiet a few bucks. It just didn't seem like a great idea to me since it's such a seasonal item. Just shortly after I discovered you could make some really yummy yet ... [ read more... ]

O-fish-ally Number 1 Dad Cupcakes!
I learned a little lesson this week, like no matter what mom says, sometimes there really aren't many more fish in the sea. Sometimes there are only six fish in the sea. Particularly, six little cupcake fish who found their time here in the ocean with chocolate bubbles would last no longer then one minute (give or take a few moments). Had I know this...maybe I would have snapped the camera a ... [ read more... ]

Strawberry Banana Cupcakes
Inspiration really can come from anywhere. Like cake stands. I really should probably tell you that I made these cupcakes because I love banana and strawberry together, or that my kiddos requested them, or because it's my favorite smoothie combo ever...but that would be a total fib. See that pretty little cake stand? I found it at our local PX (military post exchange) and it was like THE perfect ... [ read more... ]

RAWR-some Father’s Day Cookies
You know what is totally out of my league? Boy stuff. Yep, super heroes...monsters...trucks...dirt...and dinosaurs. All boy stuff, all out of my league. Recently this has become more and more obvious as my girls grow older. While I do have two brothers growing up one was ten years older then me and one was ten years younger then me so I really wasn't ever aware of the "boy stuff" they were into. ... [ read more... ]

Pajamas and Popcorn Cookies
I have good news, and I have bad news. Let's start with the bad news, because I like to end on a positive note. So first off, I don't have a tutorial for you today. I know…BOO what kind of blogger are you! Where's the info, the meat, the potatoes, and why on earth am I sharing photos with no tutorial?! But wait…don't click off just yet! ... [ read more... ]

Lemon-Lime Cheesecake Cupcakes
One of my favorite things about baking, is proving myself wrong over and over. I know, weird right? But it's true. I love to break my own boundaries, discover new things, and realize that maybe I actually do love that flavor I've always said I don't like at all…wait did I just admit to behaving like a picky toddler? Let's take our citrus friends lemon and lime for example, the BFF's of ... [ read more... ]

Spring Velvet Butterfly Cookie Cake
Recently we celebrated two little birthdays in the Maison De Miller (that's fancy for our house). M & B, my little twinies turned five. Yes, five. As in we're going off to kindergarten and totally shedding the last bit of baby we have, even if you desperately tug and plead mom, it's happening. Sigh. Birthdays are so bittersweet as moms are they not? We plan these parties and events and celebrate ... [ read more... ]
