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 ;)

valentine’s day

in my opinion, today is just an excuse to celebrate the fact that we absolutely l.o.v.e. chocolate (even men) and candy. yes. men enjoy chocolate, too.

it seems that chocolate is in demand all the time. so i decided to make the most chocolaty cupcakes the baking cup offers.

remember that post where nutella was sold out in fargo? well, i have redeemed myself and stocked up. oh no, i was not going to let that happen again. ever. again.

these double-chocolate-fudge cupcakes with buttery frosting are a favorite.

they have the outside crunchiness  of a brownie with a soft cake inside. the buttercream frosting is extra buttery to complement the sweet center while the cake itself is a bit bittersweet.

they are chocolate nutella cupcakes.

happy chocolate day to you!
