Strawberry and Vanilla Cupcakes for Aimée

6

Mar

I’m not going to lie. I first envisioned these cupcakes for myself, for my birthday at the beginning of February. Ever since Amanda made her rose cake with vertical stripes around our birthdays last year, I’ve kind of been obsessed with the idea of pink and white striped cupcakes. Lots of people are now making [...]

Jamie and I have been friends for a long time, and as far as I’m concerned, she’s an artist. The cupcake may be her canvas of choice, frosting her paint, but she knocks it out of the park with every creation. I’m so grateful to her for offering to cover B&B while I’m away. She’s [...]

I have to know: Are James and I the only couple that have contests about who got the better food when you go out to eat? Usually, James wins at “Dinner”. I don’t know why that is, but he does. I, however, recently won at “Dessert”. It’s one of the biggest wins I’ve had in [...]

I know what you’re thinking. Mayonnaise?! In cake? But I promise, it really is fantastic. A couple months back, I asked my Nan to pass me this recipe. It wasn’t hers, it was my grandfather’s. I hadn’t eaten it since before he died, three years ago. When I first made it after receiving the recipe, [...]

Tonight I had the pleasure of taking a cupcake decorating class at the local high school. The class was taught by a local business woman that was inspired by a magazine cover, got some books, and started decorating. She now has a successful home catering company. Exciting!! I learned how to mix colors in one [...]
