Hello?

Did you miss me?? The computer is back in action and I'm still baking up a storm. I've got a few things to share.

Hubby's work had a big 2 day sale and I was asked to provide cupcakes for both days! I was told they were all a hit and none lasted very long!

Day 1: Drunk Monkey, Feelin Hot Hot Hot and Ain't Your Granny's

Day 2: Rum Rummer, Milk's Favorite Cupcake and Mama Mia

Yesterday my youngest turned five and she decided we should have another go at the On The Boardwalk cupcakes.  They worked out great this time and she LOVED them!

The show must go on...

I'm still waiting for that knock on my door... It's going on 3 weeks since I've heard anything. I'm not counting it out yet, but I'm also gonna keep moving forward with my own thing.

Still working on perfecting some recipes and have a few that still need to be tested. I'm finding that most need at least 2 tries to get them right.

I did cupcakes for a birthday this weekend. It was a Tinkerbell theme, and the colors requested were pink and green. I was told that flavor was not overly important. So I went with vanilla cake and white chocolate mint buttercream. I did have green cake with pink frosting and the other half pink cake with pink frosting. Unfortunately, in my rush to get them to the party on time, I forgot to snap a few photos... So, I thought I would share what I made my "baby" (she just turned 9) for her birthday. She requested "chocolate and more chocolate"...

Twilight zone

No, I'm not talking about the Stephanie Meyers books. I'm talking about the mess I've been making trying to get my website going by myself. It's harder than I thought. I'm starting to feel a little lost!

I moved over to Wordpress thinking it would be a piece of (cup)cake. Well, it's far from it. The free blog is fairly simple, but I already know my way around Blogger pretty well. The problem came when I registered my domain name and got hosting. I'm using the Wordpress software to power the site, but for the like of me I can't get the hang of it.

I finally decided that I was gonna have to buck up and actually pay somebody to design it for me. I'm a bit on the impatient side and am getting a bit antsy that I haven't gotten any responses from the few designers that I've contacted. I'm trying to keep calm, but I have a thing with instant gratification (which is why I taught myself, via Google searches, how to do most of what's this blog). So, I'm taking deep breaths and hoping for a response soon... from someone...

In the meantime, I thought I'd share the results of my very first birthday party. It was for my friend's daughter who just turned 7. She requested chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting, so this is how it turned out...

I found a tutorial here on how to make the stand. I think I'm gonna work on something that I can take apart and reuse. I've got lots of ideas brewing!


Still waiting...
