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!
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?
well, i don’t. hence the “me” right next to sweets above.
see. i’m constantly thinking about baking, sweets and desserts. new flavors, new baking gadgets, new {custom} recipes. new this. new that.
it never ends. and i love it that way!
here are some of the baking cup latest creations. enjoy.
