    Vanilla Cupcakes

    Another year has come and gone. Strange how fast time goes isn’t it? I cannot believe that tomorrow I am turning 28. 28! I don’t feel twenty.eight. OK…maybe sometimes I feel 28. My body definitely feels different from now then it did when I was 18 that is for sure. It is harder to get out of bed, not like wake up early. I get up at 5am almost every day. But like STEP out of bed ::CRACCCKKKK:: I sound like I am about 60 years old, however the hip cracking thing deeply stems from being a dancer. Seriously…ask a dancer about cracking their hips. Guarantee they love it haha.…

    Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

    OK, so first off this day has been like the day from absolute hell. GAH! Work is driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I keep spinning my tires and doing all this work for people and then I get trampled on. Ever have those weeks? Can’t seem to get anything done, or do anything the way people want to see it. I am one of those people that NEVER half asses anything. I don’t have the ability to. It must be in my blood or something, because I will literally not be able to sleep at night if I don’t do something to my full ability. Anyways, I am…

    Carrot Cake Cupcakes

    Weekends go by too fast. It is just a fact of life. Every time the weekend comes I am so ecstatic and then it seems in the blink of an eye it is gone and I am stuck behind my desk at work again. This weekend WAS a lot of fun though which I am sure is why it seemed to go even faster than I wanted it to. I was able to meet up with one of my old friends John in Mystic CT. Not only did I get to see a lot of history at the Mystic Seaport but I also got to catch up with one of…

    Funfetti Cake Pops

    Happy day after Easter! Although it isn’t too happy for me…I am sick at home with the flu :-(. YUCK!! I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that I was stuffing my face with all sorts of glllorrrious sweets! I cannot tell you how much I missed having those sweet treats. I don’t eat a ton of horribly unhealthy things for me but when it comes to sweets. I just will not cannot control myself! I think it is because my mom has always made such amazing goodies ever since I can remember and now that I enjoy it so much, it was SO hard to…

    Red Velvetine Cupcakes

    Happy Valentine’s Day!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day so far and that your honey is treating you well! 🙂 I am currently on Day 1 of my Detox and it is going well so far. I am really excited and really focused so we shall see how it goes. I wanted to make some yummy treats before I went on this detox because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy candy on Valentine’s day. So I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with buttercream frosting. HOLY MOLY! What a way to kick off my detox. They were absolutely delicious! I was kind of scared that they…
