I made these simple cupcakes for Owen to take to preschool today, along with a balloon for everyone. I avoided getting any pink balloons because I didn’t want any of the girls in his class to fight over them. Then when I got there, I realized that Owen is the only boy in his class! […]

I’ve received several questions about the cakes and cupcakes I make, so I thought I’d do a small Q&A for you all! Q: What is your cake recipe? A: Betty Crocker!! LOL! There have been times in the past when I’ve made a cake from scratch, but those are few and far between! I’ve based […]

In other fun news, I got a call today from the local cake supply store. I had entered my Purple People Eater cupcakes in their cupcake contest last week. Despite the way the judging was run, I came in third place! Not too shabby for the late night sillies! I was a little discouraged when […]
