The Lost Art of Funfetti

Well, I'm the laziest blogger ever (EVER). So, to get going again, I thought I'd start off with cupcakes. Because lets face it, I love cupcakes.

Todays cupcakes are in honor of a friends birthday, and what says birthday more than funfetti cake? I truly believe that the funfetti family is a tragically overlooked culinary delight. Moist, delicious vanilla cake... adorable sprinkles... mmmmm.... there is some kind of funfetti frosting in a tub, but, I decided they could stand up better to some cream cheese frosting (because lets face it, I love cream cheese frosting) that might be a little less sweet. (I was inspired into the cream cheese frosting when I briefly considered red velvet cake, but, the thought of scraping red food coloring off every surface in my kitchen was too overwhelming). However, it turns out, my funfetti dreams were true... all true.

They might just be the best cupcakes ever.

'Tis the Season for BBQing

Mmmmmmm... this was my Sunday night dinner...


What delicious tidbits are on there, you ask? Well... there is marinated tofu (extra firm, in cilantro, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic, and cumin), onions, peppers, zucchini, and mango. (mango is my secret kabob weapon... its awesome... it holds up really well and adds a lot of moisture and is just really fantastically delicious).

Yum!

I'm back!

Well, after the emotional rollercoaster of the sweetened condensed milk, I seem to have taken a blog hiatus. But, I'm back! Here is a brief update on what I've been doing...

1. Making jewelery...
First, for myself (found something to do with leftover coins from my trip to Japan a few years ago):

Then for my cousin's prom:

And of course for my shop (continuing my love affair with chandelier prisms):

2. I highlighted my hair, which in a stroke of brilliant luck did not either make it fall out or turn green despite the fact that I am too impatient to mess around with "test strands" and all that jazz.

3. And, of course, I've been hanging out with the lovely Charlotte:

There's more, but these are many of the events that were actually recorded on film... so, now you're all caught up and I'll be resuming my regular posting (theoretically, of course).

Cheers!
