We're Baaaacckkk!!

Wow!! Did you miss us???

Well.... my trip to California lasted longer than I expected. 

After our condo sold and we moved to Utah, my husband had to stay behind to finish up some work junk. He's still there so I took a little trip to So Cal to be with him and to hang out with my side of the family a bit before the summer is over. When my trip was ending, I got sad and wanted to stay longer. So I changed my plane tickets and stayed for almost 3 whole weeks!! 

Now I'm back in Utah and it's freakin' HOT!! I will need to get used to the scorching weather again.

Anyhoo... We're back and I'm excited to start posting about cupcakes again. 

While we were in So cal, we went to the O.C. Fair. 

I was browsing Flickr and came across these cuties from Grace of Cakes

I just had to post them you know??

The diet is back on and I'm going to miss this wonderful fair food. 

Why oh Why can't broccoli taste like chocolate??

Miss Us???

Srsly . . . did you???
We're back and better than evah!

Check out these darling Toy Story cupcakes
by the fabulous Pink Bee Bakery.
It's too bad we're on opposite coasts,
because I'd be sorely tempted to hire them for the
combined party I'm throwing my kids in December.

We're Taking a Little Summer Vacation. Be back next week!

Don't Eat Me Saturday

Yesterday was Cow Appreciation Day.
So the kids and I and our friends,
dressed up like cows
and got free food at ChickfilA.

So here's to you cows!
(and chickens)

A Super Rad Contest!!! CLOSED! WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!

Oh... nice try everyone!!!

 The following is a bad news, good news, good news situation.

I'll start with the BAD news.....

The bad news is that not a single one of you guessed correctly!!!

The GOOD news is that if Alan ever wants to go into this cupcake thing professionally, he would make a killing on Willy Wonka cupcakes since a lot of you guessed Willy Wonka!!

So I know you're all dying to know who it is!!

Ready....

That's right... it's Fred from Scooby Doo!!!

Go ahead..... scroll down and take a look at the cupcake again.....

I'll wait....



Do you see the resemblance now???

Now, I said this was a bad news, good news, good news situation. So I'l get on with the other good news that I've mentioned.

I had a strange feeling that no one would guess correctly so I'm going to be sweet and pool all the comments and draw a winner to receive the surprise!!
I'm just so dang sweet!!!

The winner is.....

If we ever have a Willy Wonka themed party, I'm calling you!!



Today we're doing something a bit different....

My Super Rad Friend Alan, decided that for his nieces 5th birthday he would make a giant cupcake and decorate it in a theme that went with her birthday party.

I worked with Alan many years ago when I was in high school (him in college) as servers at a little Mom and Pop Italian restaurant.

Just so you know... he knows his way around the kitchen.

Here is the cupcake he made for his niece....

GUESS WHO???

And now for the CONTEST!!!!

The reader that guesses who/what this is supposed to be wins a special secret surprise from me!

 (you'll love it I promise!!)

How To Enter:

Please note that in order to make this contest fair, I will NOT be publishing any of the comments but will keep them private until after the contest is closed and a winner is chosen. Then I will publish them all so you can see who guessed what!

The Rules:

You only have 1 day to enter. The contest will end on Friday, July 9th at Midnight PST. So HURRY!

You may only leave ONE comment/guess so make it a good one! Any other comments from the same reader will be deleted!

The winner will be announced sometime Saturday (on this very post) and will have 48 hours to respond in order to claim their surprise!!

If by chance more than one person guesses correctly, those entries will be pooled together and ONE will will be chosen at random to receive the surprise.

Any friends, family, etc of Alan are INeligible to enter this contest because that would be CHEATING and cheaters never win!!
