happy summer solstice!



So people at work have been begging me to make more cupcakes for them, and I've really been wanting to try out this icing decoration I saw in Hello, Cupcake! so I made some today :)



they are the same dark chocolate cupcakes I always make, but I just used a simple cream cheese icing recipe. It was a little runny for making sunflowers, so next time I will make butter cream icing.



they look so yummy!





yay cupcakes!

more chocolate cupcakes mmmm

I made more cupcakes for work this week! This was the best batch yet.. they were delicciousssss


I had sooo much fun making them pretty and dipping them in pink sprinkles.. I was all giggling and Eric was like, "What's going on in there?!"




I'm so glad I had people to share them with at work, otherwise I would have eaten them all!

cupcake explosions



so I wanted to make a ton of valentine cupcakes for people.. work, life group, friends, family, etc. so i got some recipes off of Bakerella and set about making some delicious fun.. the chocolate ones kind of exploded in the oven for various reasons, but the yellow-cake ones turned out pretty decent.



All of the supplies on the baking aisle in Hobby Lobby have been calling my name for a while, so I finally bought some decorating tools and had some fun!



I think they turned out pretty nice.. Atleast they look pretty even if the cake was a little dense.. I really need to work on my baking skills.


Also on Wednesday, I got to play mommy to this little guy:



I found him in wandering in the rain a few blocks from my house.. his owner was no where to be found. It was getting dark, and I was afraid his 4-pound soul would be turned into owl or coyote food, so I picked him up and brought him home. (we have one owl that stalks the neighborhood at night, he's huge! And I saw a coyote in DAYLIGHT run through my front yard the other day.. kind of scary.)
he makes Dakota look like a monster!



His dad came to claim him yesterday evening.. it was a good thing I picked him up, because he had just left for a 14-hour work shift when lil' toot (aka Nugget) had escaped.
