Of all the days to have a major flop, Sunday night was not the night for it to happen. You see today is a day that falls in the middle of three birthdays at work. And these aren’t any birthdays, these three people collectively put the ‘aholic in chocaholic.

In a few months it’ll be 120 degrees in Phoenix, but for now it’s absolutely amazing and 70 degrees and sunny. It’s easy to get Spring fever right dab in the middle of February. I’ve already started planning out my Spring schedule with minor league baseball games, farmer’s markets and gardening.
It’s this time of year [...]

Introducing the empire….
I’ve this little cupcake inspired blog going for over 18 months and people always ask me if I would consider opening a store or becoming a baker. While the idea is romantic at times, I don’t think that’s the route for me (for now).

Of all the different cupcakes I’ve made my all time favorite, gold medal winner is a Coconut Cupcake recipe from Barefoot Contessa. I made them again for Carey (her nephews call her CoCo and they call her sister Shelley, Chanel).

Fa-la-la-la! Do you think there is such a thing as Christmas Song Attention Deficit Disorder? Baking away today I’d find myself singing one song and before I knew it I was on a totally different song.
But it’s not a bad thing to have happy songs running through your head. For two days in a row [...]
