The very same night that I made the itty bitty burgers, I made other tiny food as well. It was like cute overload over here! Last year, I donated 100 Cupcakes to the A to Z Literacy Movement’s annual fundraiser, and while they were well-recieved, there were tons left over. This year, I was asked [...]

I have a date this weekend with a bunch of friends I haven’t seen in almost a year. The first thing they asked me? “Do we get cupcakes?” What was I going to say, no? The only request was that they be chocolate. I could do that. Nothing like starting Phase 2 of South Beach [...]

It’s a good day when, for no other reason than pure appreciation, a student decides to make up her own 8 days of Hanukkah so that she can treat me to 8 gifts before we leave for winter break. Yesterday, an army of hedgehog donut holes Their little faces stared up at me all day, [...]

I’d been looking forward to the FoodBuzz Festival of 2011 pretty much since the same event ended last year. I was lucky enough to be able to attend last year with the help of AJ and his unending generosity and support of the blog. This year, I was lucky enough to have been chosen for [...]

Over the course of the last year, many of my friends have gone through some terrible times. Deaths, miscarriages, lost houses, divorces, lost jobs… and I was one of them. It seemed like everywhere I turned, someone I knew was going through something difficult. Usually, when someone is going through something, I’m the first one [...]

You probably remember where [...]

Special occasions call for special treats. I don’t think anyone would disagree with me on that fact. A double birthday party though, in which a) one person was turning 50, b) his daughter was turning 6, and c) chocolate was requested, requires something decadent, tiny, and very very chocolate. I turned to my newest obsession [...]

I began my love affair with cupcakes about a year ago with a spring break project that went wonderfully right. Coconut cupcakes with key lime buttercream were the beginning of something that then snowballed into a full-blown obsession love affair complete with paraphernalia, souvenirs, and requests for cupcakes all over the place. I can’t say [...]

I’ve been out and about with my friend Ericka since she arrived on Monday afternoon… but, for Ericka and I, “out and about” includes things like going to fun grocery stores, coming up with recipes, cooking, and eating. Our friendship has pretty much always been like that, actually. We met in college when we shared [...]

I knew that once Spring arrived, things would start to turn around. It was light until almost 7 p.m. tonight, the sun is in the sky, birds are chirping… and there was one little thing I’d been waiting to hear for the last four years. Being a teacher brings a small (ok, huge) amount of [...]
