so i’ve been inspired to bake more lately. i don’t like the clean up aftermath that comes with it, though. but, it’s worth it because i get to share my recipes with you :) i made these cupcakes because they … Continue reading 

lemon keeps on giving

if you read my previous entry here, you know the baking cup has been baking lots of sweets with lemon.

{what’s that? you haven’t read it. yet? thanks to technology you can by just clicking the link above! but. promise me you’ll come back though.}

this time. lemon was mixed with something else. another ingredient popular among bakers in general: poppy seeds.

i don’t know what it is about these seeds that are so awesome !!! tanginess, perhaps? if you do know. please leave me a comment below.

proceeded to adventure. and. baked lemon poppy seed cupcakes & frosted them with cream cheese. this is to continue the tanginess. i guess?

they were a hit and are becoming quite popular. so much. that. i decided to add it as a new flavor!

you can have these with any other frosting of your preference. too.

enjoy!

introducing a new friend

yes. the baking cup has a new friend. well. i would say they’ve been best friends lately.

you and me are all excited because it’s 70 degrees {average} outside. and. feel. well. like eating everything light.

hmm. light it’s not a great word. i don’t like diets and that word reminds me of it. and. i don’t think you like it either.

it’s all about balanced meals throughout the day, right?

ok. instead of light. let’s say flavorful and fragrant. what do you think? it’s that a little better?   i think so :)

the baking cup has been delivering tons of orders lately. and. let me just say that i’m a happy human being!

these orders include flavors that. i. myself. have. never. heard. before.

but. i will tell you more about that later this week.

lemon and the baking cup are pretty close together. that much. that. they are falling in love.

why? hmm, i found out that lemon it’s a top pick & a favorite among the baking cup lovely clients.

even this tweet from @al_winmill was about the lemon-lime and swiss merengue buttercream cupcake i delivered to my tweep @katpinke :)

if you don’t follow them on twitter. you know what you have to do {hint: click the links above}

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!
