vacation – the baking cup style

if you remember my post about friendship here, you probably know that i went to florida on vacation a few weeks ago.

but. i have something to confess. {i think i’m in need of a new one} … shhh!

don’t you wish vacation came in packs of 12?

um, i take one-six pack of vacation please – this is you telling the clerk at the vacation store.

hmm. what? see. i’m making no sense. hence the need of a vacation.

had a great time with the boyfriend, my best friend, her boyfriend & sister.

you wonder if i tried a competitor down there?

why, yes. went to cami cakes. got a red velvet cupcake. mmm.

oh, and saw not one. but. two weddings!

have a nice {rest of the} week!

sweet packaging

after several weeks of searching for an earth-friendly packaging – but cool looking – i came across a website that sells kraft boxes for pretty much everything {baking wise} under the sun.

they are: pretty. chic. simple. all i wanted !

i get to the site. and.  of course i proceed to order the boxes right away thinking they’re going to be on time for a few orders i already had lined up.

hmm. well. it was not the case.

the boxes took way tooooo long to arrive.

and some of my lovely clients were given acrylic transparent boxes instead.

you know.  the ones that you see at the grocery store? not. pretty. at. all.

but since i’ve had them, my sweet clients have been able to enjoy their cupcakes in style.

the box can also hold a two-layer six inch cake. convenient. right? :)

which reminds me. the baking cup will also be baking these cakes for any occasion.

more on that later.

i snapped some photos for you to see.

the little things in life

whether you live in a big city or small town, i’m sure you enjoy the little things in life :)

if you like going to the local ice cream shop to savor a local-made waffle cone like me. then. you do take a minute to appreciate those little moments in life. either by yourself or with a loved one(s), it feels like a break from the ordinary. and. it. is. awesome!

a few weeks ago, my friend emily calls me up and tells me that:

she’s hosting a party
she’s quitting her job {after 9 years}
she found a career job
she wants me to come to the party
& she wants me to bake cupcakes!

i am so happy for emily. she is a great friend. pretty girl. and, funny too!

but. i’m happy mostly because she finally found that career job she wanted.

so. the pieces are falling into place for her. and that my friend. are the little things in life !

but. why you wonder? why is everything falling in place for emily?

well. because she is also engaged and now will be planning her wedding. right emily? right? :)

thanks for being a great friend, emily. it means a lot.

oh. almost forgot. she asked me to bake red velvet and lemon custard cream cupcakes.

you know when you are surrounded by say: babies, brides, teachers, coworkers, sweets {me!} or some sort of subject all day, every day and need a break?

spring in fargo-moorhead

so. this will be my second spring in fargo. i survived my first winter!

hmm, sort of. who agrees with me that it is still winter out there?

oh well, let’s get back to spring. it seems like we are all working against the flooding nowadays.

for all of you who are not familiar with the fargo-moorhead area, there is the red river which floods every spring. making the area hectic and businesses worry about routinely operations.

so. have i fought the flooding yet you wonder? silly question, right!? of course i have :)

a couple of weeks ago, i teamed up with Q98, the active rock radio station in Fargo for a good cause. actually, i just baked. they were the ones that did it all.

the Q98 crew has a cover band called “trapped in pants” and decided to play a few songs at the sandbag operations center in the city of moorhead. the music was dedicated to all volunteers sandbagging at the place. and. as a way to thank them for their precious time.

the band featured kvly’s chief meteorologist hutch johnson! kvly channel 11 is the local nbc affiliate. {click here to see trapped in pants on the local news!}

i baked vanilla nutella cupcakes.

hutch johnson ate one, too!

i was so excited to meet him and to see that he was eating one of the baking cup cupcakes that i forgot to take a photo !!! {this is when i wish i had a time machine}.

enjoy!
