I LIKE PRETTY THINGS
Art, Writing, Baking, Goofing off.
Heavy emphasis on the goofing off. I reblog. A lot. More than I do anything else.

ART BAKING WRITING ABOUT ME
Banana split cupcakes I made for my coworkers. Banana cake, fresh strawberry filling, chocolate ganache, and vanilla buttercream topped with nuts, sprinkles, and a cherry!

I am seriously contemplating starting a blog to chronicle my adventures in baking/keep recipes handy for future use.

Hey everyone I am going to start a baking tumblr but I need help with a name because I am horribly uncreative as is evidenced by my main tumblr username.  so help please??

Banana cupcakes with pecans & cinnamon mixed in, maple syrup buttercream.
I want to start including the recipes I use so I can have a bit of an online cookbook - should I make a new blog for that?
Rainbow cupcakes! Success!
My dad likes to give me challenges for cakes. This month’s challenge was a flag cake for the 4th of July. With the aid of my trusty sidekick, Google, I can count this as a success!

  • German chocolate cake may actually be the hardest thing to make from scratch

A timeline of me making cookies

  • oh man, I really want some cookie dough
  • I have all the ingredients, I should just make cookies
  • Man this dough is delicious
  • I should probably bake some of this
  • Even though I like the dough better than the final product
  • First batch: burned 
  • Oops
  • Second-Fourth batch: good
  • WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG
  • UGGGGH THIS IS WHY I NEVER BAKE COOKIES
  • THEY TAKE TOO DAMN LONG
  • Fifth batch: burned

Gluten-Free Bakers/Eaters!

I am making cupcakes for a sorority sister’s wedding this fall. She was recently diagnosed with Celiac, so she can’t have any gluten, and wondered if I could make a small batch of GF cupcakes for her to eat.  Problem is…I’ve never baked GF before. Do any bakers out there, or people who don’t eat gluten, have any tips for getting delicious cupcakes that don’t turn into bricks?

ugh I wish my cake balls looked this pretty when I make them. Alas, they do NOT. There’s always this huge pool of chocolate at the bottom. boo.

STEPHHH. CUPCAKE CHALLENGE.

 holy crap! Challenge accepted!
Vegan banana cupcakes with nutella glaze. 

I looked around the Internet for quite some time for a banana cupcake recipe  that wasn’t basically banana bread with frosting. Harder than it sounds! I just wanted banana, no cinnamon, nutmeg, or other nonsense.  The only ones i could find were vegan, which is fine because creaming butter is annoying and i was feeling lazy.  Call me weird, but I’m finding I enjoy the taste/baking experience of cakes made without butter/eggs/milk more than traditional cakes (pretty much all my banana cupcakes are vegan). 

I hope these taste as AMAZING as they smelled while they were baking!!
