It’s 3 in the morning and I’m reading the blogs in bed on the MacBook and I found this site, Le Cupcake, that is the home of an extraordinarily talented baker from Australia. I’ve highlighted some of her work below and you seriously need to prepare yourself. It is unbelievable. This is art! If I were in the land down under, I would hire her for an event in a heartbeat.

Well I’m here at work wanting to be home baking, so that being said my sweetheart husband went and got me this yummy dessert. It’s chocolate cake with white icing dipped in chocolate ganache.

I was browsing cupcake blogs tonight and a blog called Syrup and Honey had a great picture of S’mores cupcakes that made my mouth water. Seriously, I could shove one of these in my face, especially with a cup of hot, black coffee. They offered a great S’mores cupcake recipe and I thought I’d share it. If you have time, head over to their cupcake blog and see some of the other...

This isn’t, actually, the Cupcake Queen. It’s the Cupcake Prince. My job is to setup the blog so that her majesty can write to her heart’s content. After I put the few, finishing touches on the code, polish the final graphics, and make the phone call announcing that the site is ready, I will disappear silently back into the depths of the Internet.
From time to time, I may make...
about me By day, I'm an ordinary American, mother, grandmother, wife, and business owner with a passion for baking sweets (specifically, cupcakes). By night, I'm the Queen of Cupcakes and this is my realm. This blog was established so that I can write about my life, things I'm trying in the kitchen, my plans, and whatever else is on my mind. It's my way of confessing everything that I've always held inside but wanted to say.
