I baked last night.

Last night, I baked the cutest little cupcakes!

I used Miss Kaylah's adorable recipe for them, and they turned out too cute to eat.

Of course, I did eat one. Or two. Maybe, just maybe.. three.

They were way easy to make, and it didn't take too incredibly long, maybe 45 minutes from start to finish?

I used my papa's homemade buttercream icing recipe.. but I think I added wayy too much milk, and I messed it up. Haha. Of course. I put it in the fridge overnight though, and it thickened a bit, at least enough to put on the cupcakes. Its a bit too sweet for my taste, but still very very yummy. :)

I can't wait to make more. :)

Burlesque.

I saw Burlesque last night... It was the ultimate cheese-fest. It was so silly, the acting was terrible, and the story was way overdone. But the costumes and the club scenes were absolutely mesmerizing. I have never wanted to be in a movie as bad as Burlesque. Except for maybe Gone with the Wind. But that's for completely different reasons. :)

Burlesque was so full of feathers, and beads, and sequins, and pretty things. I want to wear those outfits! Especially this one:

I wish you could see the rest of it... there are hand prints on the butt, too. Its so hilariously cute. I WANT.

And it was so hilarious watching Colby get excited every time Cher sang a song (which was only twice. Thank goodness). I'm not much of a Cher fan, but my best friend sure is. :)

Anyways... here are my two favorite parts. The first is just adorable, and the second features the costume I want. :)

Go see Burlesque. If only for the reason that its good for a laugh or two. :)

oh, and to make this a legit post....

Here are some sweet Harry Potter cupcakes that I should probably make for my boyfriend sometime. :)

Ew, ServSafe.

I have a massive ServSafe exam tonight that determines if I'm certified for the next five years.

I am in minor freak out mode right now.

But, I am using this as my motivation to get me through:


I AM going to own a cupcakery someday, gosh darn it.

It sort of helped that Colby and I skipped our math class to thrift for a bit, go to Red Velvet for (much needed) Bubble Tea, and then McDonalds for happy meals (Hello Kitty watches, that's what's up). Its been a good day. So far.

Now... time to study for this silly test.

Wish me luck. :)

future career.

I am a complete sucker for a cutely decorated cupcake.

I am SO glad that I work at a place where I can create cute cupcakes for people to enjoy for like 2 seconds before they eat them.

I'm so excited to pursue a career out of this. A future of cupcakes?? I'm so in.

This is so what I want to do for the rest of my life..

(i wish i would've had these around for my Alice in Wonderland birthday party last year)

(how beautiful are these... gosh.)

(Tyler's niece would sooo be into these Hello Kitty cupcakes! I would love to make them for her someday.)

I am so excited about this cupcake filled future. It's going to be exciting :)

*all photos via we heart it

lately, in cellular photos.

So, this week/weekend has been crrazy. I feel so incredibly busy, when in fact...I am not. Ha! So.. here are some photos for your viewing pleasure..I got these cutie little things in the mail from my boyfriend's niece, emily. a while back i sent her a little something in the mail, just for fun. one of the things i sent her was a little stuffed owl that i made. so, when she sent me my thank you card, she also wrote a book about snugglebug (that's what she named her.haha, so cute). and, i also got a cute little necklace from this shop. so stinking adorable.

i also voted for the very first time ever! not that it was anything exciting... it was just cool. :)

dad and i went to look at cars (i'm getting one soon!), and then went downtown for art walk, which of course meant we got cupcakes at the new cupcake place on Walnut. sooo stinking tasty!

dad got peanut butter cup (it has peanut butter buttercream icing... which they gave the recipe for it on the news this morning!) and i got red velvet, of course. so. good.

i stayed up till ungodly hours making cute little onesies for a friend's baby shower today. the one on the left says the baby's name, lillian. the other one says "xo." under the owl, but ...it doesn't really look like it. haha:)

my job is going SO well. :) my boss even says i "inspired" her to get started on a "cupcake of the week", so.. i'll get to pick out a flavor, and bake it, and sell it all week at the tea room. its going to be an awesome way to try out different recipes and such. i'm so excited! :))

okie dokie, its pizza time, and i haven't eaten all day!

so i'll be back soon:)
