It’s been a year since I started this so-called biz. How do remember the date? It’s been one year since I made custom Pinkalicious cupcakes for a coworker’s daughter’s birthday. This year, Hello Kitty cupcakes were requested. Due to time and budget constraints, I had to think about how to make some basic cupcakes thatContinue reading “Abstract art: Hello Kitty”

When pigs fly…
Labor Day weekend signifies the last weekend of summer, and most normal people spend it chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool being all lazy, but we were the anti-thesis of beach bum, BBQ-ing, beer guzzling couch potatoes. We had just signed the papers to sell our house on Thursday, and we had people coming toContinue reading “When pigs fly…”
Pâte à Choux aka Cream Puffs
Little Miss Irene came and went this past weekend without leaving her mark on our property. There were some of us that said the storm would be overhyped in our area so we just stayed in and didn’t buy into the apocalyptic frenzy at the supermarkets, especially b/c we were fully stocked with liquids andContinue reading “Pâte à Choux aka Cream Puffs”
Citrus and cinnamon on Sunday
We had friends visiting this weekend and I had planned on making a nice breakfast and baking lemon rolls for them to wake up to on Sunday morning. They ended up just staying for the day on Saturday b/c of a high-maintenance pet back @ the apartment… boo. But I still wanted to make theContinue reading “Citrus and cinnamon on Sunday”
Somewhere over the rainbow…
(I had technical issues with my hard drive so this post is a week late. As they say on Spartacus, “Apologies!”) Vin’s brother hit a milestone birthday and I knew I HAD to make something better than last year’s cake. At the same time, I was crrrraaaazyyy busy with work and other events so I needed toContinue reading “Somewhere over the rainbow…”
A no bake weekend
I promised my mixer and oven some time off this week since they were worked to the point of slave labor during most of July (my poor oven… it seriously needs a cleaning). But I felt like I still had to make SOMETHING and ended up using the stove and microwave instead. I had aboutContinue reading “A no bake weekend”
Bridal shower bash
One of my girlfriends from college is getting hitched next month to one of the most thoughtful guys I’ve ever met and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them! And M has always been super supportive of my baking and has been waiting to try a cupcake, so her bridal shower was theContinue reading “Bridal shower bash”
Babar & Tiny Tim go to this party…
Vin’s bro got married last year and he and his wife are expecting a little baby boy in a month. They’ve decked out the baby’s bedroom in this nice yellow and got these cute elephant-related bedding and decor for little Timmy’s arrival. Since their theme was quite obvious, I wanted to create cupcakes for myContinue reading “Babar & Tiny Tim go to this party…”
Suuuuunny day… Sweepin’ the… clouds awayyyy…
Close up of the Sesame Street-themed cupcakes This is one insanely hectic month for me. Looking @ my baking calendar, I think I’ll just schedule sleep for when I’m dead. Last weekend I was on vacation with some girlfriends (we were being patriotic and celebrating July 4th in PR) and I came back to busynessContinue reading “Suuuuunny day… Sweepin’ the… clouds awayyyy…”
Obnoxious trendy deliciousness
A few weeks ago, my cousin and I were griping about how certain foods have become ridiculous fads. I was rolling my eyes about how Sriracha sauce was EVERYWHERE as a go-to ingredient and was seen in every other cooking show like it had JUST been discovered, and my cousin was disgusted with the bacon-everything craze and how it abuses the privilege of enjoying bacon.
