    It’s said to be the race that stops a nation. Melbourne Cup Day is all about spring. The traditional flower is the yellow rose. Today’s board is a nod to the fashion and glamour of racing season.

I simply LOVE cupcakes...well any cake for that matter...but nothing beats those 5-6 bites of divine perfection and frosting!Cupcakes aren't only making an appearance in the place of wedding cakes, but brides and grooms are creating complete cupcake stations where guests can add their own toppings. Or you might to decide to display cupcakes on a dessert station or in conjunction with a candy buffet. Either way, think about making those cupcakes stand out even more with ...

    Wicked Good Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cups. They’re from the book, Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Treats for Kids by Jill O’Connor and just as good as their name states. Jill sent me and my niece a copy of her book as a little thank you for a post I did inspired by her Cheesecake Pops. We had a hard time deciding which recipe to try first, but we kept coming back to these pudding cups. They were really fun to make and even more fun to eat. You’ll see what I mean in a minute. And the best part… I didn’t have to do any of the work. My little helper did it all. From separating the ...

    I’m not a huge sports fan. I’ll sit in the living room with Cent and “watch” a football game. Or a basketball game. But I’m not exactly into it. However, since getting married, I’ve been learning. I ask Cent about different calls in basketball and moves in football. I now get semi-upset when teams play poorly. I have no interest in baseball, but I’ll go to a game to hang out with friends and eat ballpark food. One of my best friends is a huge hockey fan, and it also helps that her boyfriend is a goalie. And when it comes to soccer, or the “real” football, it holds a special ...

        There is nothing quite like the sweet treat of Ice Cream…   Adding this cool and creamy dessert is a must for all of our upcoming summer soirees. Once your cake has been cut, invite your guests to enjoy their very own custom creation made right in front of them on a Marble Slab! If your party is hopping and you don’t want guests to slow down or stop dancing for their sweet treat, try tray passing…  Mini cones with sorbet is sure to please! As guests enter cocktail hour, have an ice cream truck or cart full of your favorite ice cream treats. Love the old school Hoodsie Cups...

    I think I need this. Although to be honest I don't think really I need anything that facilitates my burgeoning espresso habit. Sure I could fill it with nettle and peppermint tea, but yawn?For years I hated coffee. I loved the smell but the taste was revolting. Then about 2 months ago the smell became too enticing to resist. And what do you know, it was delicious. I think they changed the recipe or something. Kind of like they did with mushrooms because those things used to taste like crap but all of a sudden they're kind of yummy.It's a dangerous sign when I start shopping for paraphernalia...

    You may not be able to afford custom stationery design by Paper + Cup, but these mailing labels at about $1 each would be the perfect touch to a less formal save-the-date. Love them!...
