Well, we woke up to snow this morning, a fair amount of it too, my dog was quite pleased but I can’t really say the same for myself. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love to have some snow over the holidays, its very pretty n all but I’ve developed this strong hate for this time of year. I’m not entirely sure when this hate started, I used to really enjoy sledding, snowboarding, cross country skiing etc, I don’t know what went wrong? Actually come to think about it, I guess this true hate started when I got my license. Driving in this crap is horrible and my work isn’t exactly up the street, it took me a total of 1 hour and 45 mins this morning and that was with what 5-10 cm of snow? Wahhh (yes that was a whine.) 

To top it off, before leaving my apartment I grabbed something out of the freezer and one of my favorite kitchen accessories (large ceramic cupcake cookie jar) fell to the ground and shattered L… really upset about that one!

On a lighter note, I made more cake pops last night! Not as many as I would have liked because I ended up burning 2 batches of chocolate… BUT here is the result. I will be adding fondant Moustaches tonight, because these are for a Movember fundraiser that we’re having at my work. So all you Rideau Recognition employees who are reading this, you BETTER be coming out to support!

Cupcakes from the Weekend!

Sunday, in some ways it's one of the best days of the week and in others its one the worst. Best as in its my lazy putz around kinda day, where I eat garbage and never really leave bed, in other words do nothing. Worst as in its the last day of the weekend and the anxiety for the week starts to set in so instead of enjoying the doing "nothing" feeling I get all worried and anxious. Having said that, I plan on kicking the anxiety by renting a funny movie and just enjoying every minute of doing nothing!

This weekend I did cupcakes for an old friend! She was celebrating her mom and brother's birthday and didn't want something too "masculine" nor too "feminine", so she requested pink & blue cupcakes with polka dots! Here is the result!

The cupcakes are a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing.

Cheers!
