Cupcakes


On Saturday was my church's annual picnic. Since I am apart of my women fellowship at my church, the women were responsible for bring desserts. As I type that last statement, it sounds so sexiest. Why are the women bringing desserts and not the men? Maybe because we do not want a bunch of store bought stuff....as I digress. Doing my part from the picnic, I created some cupcakes. I am really obsessed with them right now. Making these cupcakes allowed me to feed my obsession, but it also gave me practice on some of my decorating techniques and I do need practice.

When making these cupcakes I got use one of the tips that we did not use in class, but it was tip that my mom found on sale. It was a leaf tip. It was the first time that I used this tip and I think that I did pretty good using it. I used my swirl technique and made the star flowers on top of the cupcake.


I felt so polished when I started putting them into the cake box to take to church. I had some extra cupcakes and tasted 1 ...o.k. it was 2 and they were pretty yummy to me. Hope everyone else enjoys them.

It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
