Tuesday's Tune - December 4th, 2012

In the Christmas spirit yet? Oddly enough, I became in the spirit mid November this year?! I can't complain though, I actually really enjoy the holidays & everything to do with them! SO if you're not in the spirit yet, check out today's tune, its a classic!

Here's Merry Christmas Baby by Otis Redding.

Tuesday's Tune - November 27th, 2012

Hello! Long time I know... Been busy & adjusting to the darkness/ colder weather, that time of year folks!

Today's tune is off The Lumineers' debut album, which was released on April 3rd 2012. The band is based in Denver Colorado, and is made up of 3 talented members; Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites, and Neyla Pekarek. For any of you who have listened to their album, you know that picking a "favorite" song is close to impossible, as all the songs are fantastic! One that has been sticking to me for a couple of weeks now is today's tune. So without further a do, please check out "Dead Sea", by the Lumineers.

Cheers!



Color me Crazy

It sounds kinda lame, but I think part of what got me into cupcakes was the endless possibility of icing colors! When I see something with vibrant color, it gets me excited! (The little things in life eh?)
I knew that a basic white vanilla wouldn't do it for me! I started with a basic food coloring kit from your local grocery store, and soon moved to their "neon" brand, which made really awesome blues, greens, purples & pinks, and from there I discovered the magical world of Wilton!

Wilton has a great variety of icing colors to choose from, and you can always alter them, by either mixing colors together, or start by adding a little bit at a time to get the right shade! This works great when working with a client's party theme or edible vision!

My goal for 2012 in the cupcake world, is to discover new brands similar to Wilton, and start exploring what they have to offer in colors, cupcake liners etc. I'm sure with a little digging I'll find some exciting new products!

Getting there...

Hello! It's been awhile I know... I finally saw a doctor that put me on these massive horse pills and an inhaler, the meds are finally kicking in and I'm slowly but surely starting to feel like myself again. I'm attempting to work in the office today but I don't know how long I will last, as it's not even 8 am and I'm sweating bullets again.


I'm excited to share a few new ideas with you all in the New Year, I've been thinking about a couple of spins on the average Cupcake that I think you'll all enjoy! So be sure to stay tuned for these new and exciting ideas!


Well, sadly that is all the energy I have for blogging today...(weak I know). For all of you who have been back on your regular schedules, you're allllmost there! Friday is around the corner!


Cheers xo

Under the Weather :(

Going on day 5 now with this cold virus, it's a bad one. The walk in clinics and my local medicenter have been closed for the holidays, so tomorrow I will be first in line to get checked out, pretty sure I'll be needing some antibiotics in order to cure whatever this is. BOO :(

I toughed it out New Years Eve to say that I at least saw my friends and did something over the 4 day vacation, probably wasn't the best idea, but I don't regret it, I had a great night! We made filet mignon, cesar salad and potatoes, it was delicious!

Here are the Cupcakes I did for the evening! 

Happy New Year to all of you! Hopefully 2012 will be a good one, I know 2011 was a rough year for a lot of my close friends and family members, I wish nothing but health, wealth & happiness to all of you! xo

Cheers!
