Right after I won a prestigious NY news behemoth’s holiday party (and still wondering if it’s a conflict of interest since I work @ ANOTHER famous and notable NY-based news media organization), I had to bake for my company’s finance department holiday party. Since I was really busy trying to wrap up year-end testing, I justContinue reading “I Win At Everything – Part 2 (AP)”

Healthy baking (A.K.A. Hell froze over)
Oh God. I can’t believe I’m saying this out loud, but the following post documents my attempt at baking low cholesterol, high protein, non-dairy and *gasp* gluten free/low carb cupcakes. Even the thought goes entirely against my principles. (Disclosure: Due to my own health issues, I am technically not supposed to eat a lot ofContinue reading “Healthy baking (A.K.A. Hell froze over)”
Balls to the wall baking
Easter weekend was a huge baking ordeal this year. Not only did I plan on bringing some desserts to the T house per usual, but my little cousin’s 4th birthday party was also the day before Easter. My aunt just got a new job in Philly, so she and my uncle now had tons ofContinue reading “Balls to the wall baking”
Bouquets of baked goods and bonbons
Our family friends J & D are getting hitched and Vin and I have the honor of being in their wedding next month (so soon!). J’s bridal shower was hosted @ our house, so I took a day off to bake cupcakes for the bride and the guests, make the shower favors, and CLEAN. FridayContinue reading “Bouquets of baked goods and bonbons”
Memorial Day weekend part 1: wedding
Part 1 comes with big news: I made my first official wedding cake for one of my closest friends. Em and I met while we were camp counselors for inner-city kids (it was hilarious b/c a lot of them were bigger than we were) and we shared a cozy apartment in Jersey City during college.Continue reading “Memorial Day weekend part 1: wedding”
Christmas ornament cake balls
Guess who had a full day of work and was still behind on writing cards and wrapping presents and still had not made Christmas Eve dessert by Friday afternoon on December 23? MEEEEE!!! That break I had the week before was more like a short gasp of air; there was so much to do @Continue reading “Christmas ornament cake balls”
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Sometimes, a girl needs a good challenge. Something she really needs to do b/c it’s fun and rewarding even though she barely has time to breathe… or b/c she’s just mental. I’d like to think this is a little of both =) A while back, one of my friends referred her engaged friend to me andContinue reading “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”
“Look to me in my eyeball”
On off weekends, Vin and I catch up on all the shows we missed during the week and one day, we got reeled into watching “Along Came Polly” with Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. It’s not a must-see, but there’s a memorable scene where the man-of-a-million-voices Hank Azaria shows up as this jacked up scubaContinue reading ““Look to me in my eyeball””
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”
Balls for Easter bunnies & a baby’s birthday
Cover of Real Simple magazine. Just kidding. Vin’s just really good @ this photography thing <3 I have to warn you; there are “TWSS” situations coming up. =D I’m sorry for the lack of new posts. I’ve been out of commission for the past month+ due to medical issues. I’m pissed @ myself for missingContinue reading “Balls for Easter bunnies & a baby’s birthday”
