Wedding pictures - Kenny and Michelle

Just a few shots from today - I'm absolutely exhausted since I've been on the go since 6am (it's almost 9pm now).





I have no idea why she was so shocked in this next one - it was just good timing on my part, lol.

donut muffins

Oh yes, you read that right. It's a muffin that's cake-y like a donut. The recipe says it yields 9 muffins, but I got 12 from my batter. I found the recipe here. I will definitely be saving this recipe.

I know it's been food overload in here lately, but I promise, this coming week will be very little if any food photos. There will be wedding photos posted next week from the wedding I'm shooting - I'm quite excited about it! The only thing I wish is that I had more than two lenses to use, but that time will come eventually.

We've been been sickies here this week. This is my second day off work this week with the kids staying home. I'm feeling a little better today myself, just really tired because I haven't been sleeping well at night. Hopefully I'll catch up on that sleep this weekend since we really have no plans.

cupcakes, part two

Orange dreamsicle mini's with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream and spice cake mini's with maple butter cream.

I had an icing mishap with the spice cake. Whoops!

cupcakes, part one

The ones with the straws are root beer float cupcakes (a vanilla cupcake with a root beer buttercream frosting) and the pink ones are pink lemonade cupcakes.

Tomorrow I'll be adding orange dreamsicle cupcakes and spice cake mini's with a maple buttercream.

These are for my second outside-the-family order - I was thrilled to get it!

cupcakes and other goodies

I took a little break from baking this week (but only a few days, I promise, LOL). Last weekend I did a chocolate chip cheesecake (with a devil's food crust) and chocolate mint bars to take to a picnic at my parents' house because my uncle was in from Chicago. After that, I took a break all week, until yesterday when I made snickerdoodle cupcakes. They're a cinnamon sugar cupcake with a cinnamon buttercream frosting.

The kids also had their first day of school this week. So far, so good! *crosses fingers*

There's a story missing here but I'm still pretty peeved about that, so I'll save it for another time (it involves some 9 billion year old man hitting my parked car twice in the school parking lot).
