Sunflower Cupcakes
It's really hard to believe "spring" is here. And not just because our friends and family all over the north are still seeing snow, our new location in the south has us questioning if there ever was a winter and feeling like it's summer already! I'm not so sure spring really exists here?? Although I don't miss the insane amounts of snow from the frozen tundra (aka upstate New York) I do miss that ... [ read more... ]

No worries, I'm here, just buried behind a large pile of, paperwork, a full schedule, and a to do list far longer then I'd like to admit!

High Hat Birthday Cake Cupcakes
A few months ago I finally got the courage to attempt some high hat cupcakes. While cupcakes dipped in chocolate sound amazing, something about taking the time to create a beautiful cupcake and then turning it upside down and dipping it in hot chocolate, just seemed terrifying to me. Much to my surprise it was way easier then it seemed, and the cupcakes were such a hit! I was pretty much hooked on ... [ read more... ]
