    Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Here’s one of the treats we indulged in after our BBQ yesterday… Margarita Cupcakes! I’ve been wanting to try this concept out ever since last month’s margarita cupcakes post, and am happy to report they tasted great (and very much like their namesake)! I went for the “shortcut” route and modified a recipe that utilizes boxed cake mix as the foundation instead of doing everything from scratch (it was a holiday, after all!). Full recipes for the cupcakes & lime buttercream icing below… ***** INGREDIENTS Cupcakes: 1 box white cake m...

    Let’s take a trip back in time, shall we?  Back to a quaint time, called…the nineties.  Like, the 1990s. I love Martha Stewart.  Have I mentioned that?  At least, I love her ideas, and how she transformed gracious, beautiful living into something everyone wanted to embrace.  And one of my very favorite ideas that I gleaned from Martha was the use of fruit or flowers to embellish and garnish cakes. Now, I realize she didn’t invent the practice, but I believe she certainly went a long way to make it popular. One of my most favorite ideas of hers is to “frost” fruit.  This is a ve...

      Grandpa Frostings baby!  Ok, I’m a nut about kids. We’ll get that right out in the open.  I have two older brothers, and an older sister. I mean quite a bit older. I was the first child of a blended family. My Father had two sons when he married my Mom, who had a daughter. Growing up I was 5-10 years older than my nephews and nieces, so I was always the one that kept an eye on the kids.  It seems that I was changing diapers my whole life, which was all right with me.  So, as an adult, I was ready for kids early. Married at 24, and a Father at 25. My oldest son wh...

    Everything about this photo drives me crazy (good crazy!) I love the leopard, the lacquer, the frosting and the fashion. Not the fur so much, unless it's vintage. Michael Kors broadtail swing dress, Luca Luca sequin dress with mink insets and Moschino mink coat. Images from IFTF ad campaign now being featured in Vogue and Elle.Look closer and you'll notice the most extravagant arrangement of petite cakes and cookies. What could be better than dressing up and licking off icing with a newly manicured finger? The very idea of it reminds of Carrie's Parisian solitary sugarfest.When things get bad,...
