CTC Cupcake

  I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary at work and have been doing some intense research on which cake I want to bring in to celebrate (because obviously I’m making myself a cake). I was perusing a new-to-me blog, Baking with Blondie, after seeing her pop up in my Instagram explore tab for […]

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

August 2, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I’m coming up on one year at my new job, and we’ve now reached the point where my co-workers are comfortable asking me to make them birthday treats, which as you know is my joy in life. My cubicle neighbour Nat C. made sure to remind me that her birthday was on August 1st, and […]

Tipsy Irish Cupcakes

March 21, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I wanted to make my new co-workers a St. Patrick’s Day treat, and I knew right away that I would make these cupcakes. There are already a couple iterations of this Guiness chocolate cake with Baileys frosting in the archives; the first was a simple one layer cake, and the second was a super-hydrated bundt […]

Super Bowl Cupcakes + Football Cookies

Fly Eagles Fly

My friend Kristine and her family are die-hard Eagles fans, so when their team made it to the Super Bowl this year, stakes were high. For me that is, because she ordered up a dozen cupcakes for their Super Bowl party, that needed to be “midnight green and say Fly Eagles Fly”. So much pressure! Not […]

Poop Emoji Cupcakes

August 23, 2017 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

Yes, dear reader, it has come to this. When I texted my niece to see what kind of cake she wanted for her 10th birthday, all I got back was a line of poop emojis. I quickly did a google image search, and sure enough, they are all over the internet. I sent her back […]

Margarita Cupcakes

One of my favourite things to do with my co-workers is go to Lone Star for Fajita Fridays. It doesn’t necessarily take place on Fridays, and we don’t always eat fajitas, but there is one constant: CHEAP MARGARITAS. It’s truly the best. My friend Shane had all of us over to the patio in his […]

Spongebob

When my nephew started telling me that he wanted Krabby Patty Cupcakes for his birthday this year, I had no idea what he was talking about. I looked to my brother for guidance and his explanation started with “Well, you know how Spongebob is a fry cook?” and the answer to that was a resounding no, as […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Black Forest Cupcakes

May 7, 2017 Baked Sunday Mornings
Black Forest Cupcakes

This week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe is for Black Forest Cupcakes, but I actually made these about three and a half years ago while I was testing for Baked Occasions! Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Black Forest cakes, due to childhood encounters with them at birthday parties, but I was interested to see […]

Chicago Eats {July 2016}

Chicago at Night

This past July, I confirmed something I’ve suspected was true for a long time: Chicago is the perfect place for a long weekend trip. I’ve wanted to go forever, especially since I was supposed to attend a conference there a few years ago (but ended up not going), and had to hear my entire office […]

Darth Vader Cupcakes

December 30, 2016 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

My niece Rebecca keeps surprising me with her Birthday Cake selections. Last year she asked for a Shimmer & Shine cake, and this year, even though she still loves all things princess, she asked for Darth Vader Cupcakes. I asked my brother how she even knows who he is, and apparently they watched a couple […]
