love post

recently celebrated 5 years of being together with the boyfriend. it was on a saturday, so we had the whole day {insert weekend here} to ourselves.

confession: didn’t bake anything for the big 5. it’s okay. i’m saving it for his birthday !

there was a bike ride, picnic with a blanket where we had delicious handmade bread with wild blueberry jam, more bike riding, fancy dinner and out & about with friends.

did i mention everything was planned by my other half?!? i had no idea what we were going to do because he kept telling me we were just going to “hang out.”

i love him. with. capital. l. {i don’t use caps but who cares??!? LOVE YOU bf, love you !}

here’s a recap in photos.

p.s. swing by clock tower cafe for cupcakes this week and leave me a message on here or facebook with your feedback ;)

i truly admire what the armed forces do for me and for you {if you are civilian, of course}. i have close friends who have served in the army – and they’ve done an splendid job. thank you! {you know who you are ;)}

a few weeks ago, i was contacted by one of my lovely clients.

she tells me, “carolina, i need cupcakes for my daughter.” i’m thinking okay, great!

“cupcakes need to have something else besides frosting” she goes on.

in my head – awesome! {love when clients are specific!}

“oh, and you need to drop them off at the air force guard offices in fargo” she adds.

“aaaand. this is for the air force guard?!!?!”

honored! the only word that can describe how i feel every time i’m part of the armed forces. even if it’s one. sweet. at. a. time.

make this week, a happy week!

oh. almost forgot! clock tower cafe has strawberry lemon cupcakes this week. stop by and get one :)

sarah – feisty eats blog

i read sarah’s blog on a regular basis. she loves food and blogs about it. in detail. which comes pretty handy.

looove her posts about grilling & asian food. those are my favorite :)

besides her homemade adventures she goes to local restaurants to try their food. she comes home and blogs about it. too.

a.k.a. she reviews the food. as i said. before. in. d.e.t.a.i.l.

i get an email the other day. hmm, let me check my inbox again, i said. you have to take in consideration i just had checked it 3 minutes ago.

hit refresh and i see the “receiving 1 message” notification and i’m super excited.

you know who emails me? yeah. sarah. {ahhh}.

when i see her email requesting one dozen of the lemon lime cupcakes. i. immediately had a light bulb over my head with the words: blog.

thought to myself: well. she’s going to blog about the cupcakes and she is going to be honest. pressure is on. so i went and bought my ingredients – fresh as usual – right away.

here are her tweets and her photos. click here to read her review on the baking cup cupcakes and to follow her blog & delicious posts.

thanks sarah!

baking for a great cause

a couple of months ago i check my email inbox and scan subject line after subject line. (you know your typical get 30% off today + free shipping. or. don’t miss this week’s sales on so and so products. or better yet. a reminder to renew that magazine you haven’t subscribed to since 2005. really? if i haven’t renewed by now why bother emailing me with your renewal notice?)

yeah. back on the subject line. this one was very special. it read:

“habitat for humanity event”

i open it right away.

it was an invitation to a silent art auction to be held here in fargo.

“Home is where the Art is” was held in the beginning of february at the spirit room gallery in downtown, baby! all the proceeds went to the amazing cause of habitat for humanity – lake agassiz. the art was displayed in a unique & chic way.

i didn’t hesitate to answer back with a yes. actually it was more like: yes.yes. yes! not to mention that the baking cup was one of just a few selected businesses to participate at the event!

to me, all charities are awesome. and just to think i was going to give a bit of the baking cup sweetness for a good cause, it was unreal.

thanks for all that you do habitat for humanity.

here are two new flavors of the baking cup: lemon-lime cupcakes and oreo cheesecake cupcakes.
