Confession #5- I still love cupcakes

A little less than a month ago it was my mom's birthday, so keeping with tradition I baked her up a big ol' batch of cupcakes. Carrot cake cupcakes are a fan favorite (yes, I have fans believe it or not,) so at midnight I baked the most delicious carrot cake cupcakes ever. I was too lazy to make my mom a card, so instead I decided to write her a birthday message on the cupcakes with raisins. Here are some pictures:



After we dug in, I found hilarity in creating words with the cupcakes.



I have also had to bake cupcakes for numerous occasions (3 friends birthday cupcakes and a batch of congratulations cupcakes)...here they are!

These are peanut butter cupcakes with chcolate frosting and a reeses cup baked inside with pb chips and magic:


These are Vanilla confetti cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting ( I didn't have a frosting bag handy so I used a plastic bag...:



These are Vanilla cupcakes with strawberry filling and strawberry frosting with a mini nilla wafer on top:


And lastly...these are Chocolate chocolate chip with whoopie pie filling and chocolate buttercream frosting...delicious!

Confession #4- I HATE MICE

I have a mouse. Not as a pet...he's an evil pistachio eating mouse. This mouse, lets call him Shithead, is a pain in my ass. I woke up the other morning and found him nibbling on a bag of shredded coconut. As soon as I walked over he HID behind the coconut, as if I wouldn't see his stupid little tail sticking out. I then walked away, grabbed my camera, and headed back over to my closet shelf. He had then moved behind the cornstarch and was HIDING FROM ME. He totally knew I was there..I know it..so I started snapping pictures of the little shit and finally got a few. (I don't know why I wanted a picture of this coconut munching mouse, but I figured why not?) I think I scared him though because he then FLEW OFF OF THE SHELF. I'm tellin' ya..this is not a regular mouse, this is an acrobatic/satanic mouse. He leaped at me...he jumped off of the shelf AT ME. Luckily, he hit the curtain and scampered away...it might have been my scream that made him run, or maybe I blinded him with the camera flash...but seriously? WTF. I didn't even know mice liked coconut. Or pistatchios. Here is the little shit in action:

See him? SEE HIM!?!


I have set up mouse traps (the kind that don't let me see the dead mouse after.) I filled them with peanut butter (mmmmm) so hopefully soon the little shithead will sniff the peanut butter, follow the peanut butter trail into the mouse trap, choke on the peanut butter, and DIE. =)



*Update. Not only did I find I dead mouse in my bedroom closet...I caught the little shit in the PB mouse trap...BITCHES.

Confession #3- Before I die I NEED a FFB.

I believe the story goes like this:

Once upon a time I was walking down the street and spotted a van covered in amazing looking fruit bouquets, I then visited the website www.ffbc.com and fell in love. The End.

Ok so I've never actually had the luxury of eating a fresh fruit bouquet(FFB,) but sometime before I die I really, REALLY want (neeeeeeed) to get one of these. They've got fruit flowers, marshmallows, and chocolate covered berries, what more do you need? Seriously..whoever thought of creating full bouquets made of fresh fruit is a genius and deserves a high five. *high fives brilliant creator of the FFB*

In case you have never seen what a FFB looks like, here are some photos of these fantastic creations...try not to drool on yourself..





I'm going to pee my pants with excitement if I ever get one of these, fo reaaaal. These things are filled with magic, I'm sure. MAGIC, BITCHES. =)
