Cupcakes are fabulous

Cupcakes are festive, cute, and the perfect amount of cake. And they just dissappear. LoPo and I made over 70 cupcakes last weekend for a joint birthday celebration Sparky and I had on Saturday.

I have to admit that there was nothing even close to organic, local, or healthy about this adventure (we used boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting), but everyone loved them and they were so pretty I had to share. Happy Birthday, Sparky!

Magical Minty Ice Cream Cake

I'm back!!! It's not that I haven't been eating and drinking and cooking - but (with the weddings, traveling, birthdays, and other stuff), I've just been too busy to post anything. But now I am back because I had to tell you all about the delicious ice cream cake I made for MO's birthday. It had a chocolate cookie crumb crust, a layer of cookies n' cream ice cream and a layer of mint chocolate chip, topped with ganache and more cookie crumbs...yum!

I have to give props to this blog I found with a very easy to follow recipe for ice cream cake. Their ice cream cake is much prettier than mine and I haven't gotten to the homemade ice cream level yet, but there's always next time.
