I'm posting this now, but you have until Sunday (the 9th, my birthday!) to get your entries in.
Whoever sends in the best birthday wish/salute photo (as voted on by my kids, so keep it clean folks!) will win a dozen cupcakes of their choosing (from my menu). Other than keeping it clean, the only other rule is you must be local - Erie, PA - or be able to pick the cupcakes up when you're in town, for my Erie friends who are currently not in Erie but do come back to visit!
Have fun with this!
Good luck!

Halloween recap and Contest!
Friday night we met up with Dave's brother and his wife and their kids and we went Trick-or-Treating with them. I should have been home baking, but that's another story. The kids had a blast and made it more than a block this year, LOL.
The baby didn't walk with us, she stayed home with my sister-in-law and helped pass out candy, but she's too cute to leave out of this!
When we headed down our second street we ran across this giant spider, which I thought was pretty creative! It was still fairly light at this point.
Then we hit our third street, which is where I knew everyone because it was right around the corner from our old house (this is also where we usually get separated - Dave and the kids go on without me and pick me up on the way back because I'm too busy socializing, LOL). There is a house there that goes all out every year and I love it. The kids don't really care for it, but this was the first year that they all actually walked up the the porch instead of Kathy coming down to hand them candy. I was quite proud of my boys!
...and finally, a few individual shots of my boys - and the contest (if you've made it this far!)
Connor:
Mason:
Now, if you can tell me exactly who Mason is supposed to be, I will give you one dozen cupcakes of your choosing (I have a menu you can pick from). The only stipulation is that you must be local (Erie, PA). I'm looking for a specific name, not just a general idea here. Oh, and family, isn't eligible, LOL, because you already know the answer!
Good luck!!

Is it Friday yet?
I would really like this week to be over with.
Please?
It's been one "whoops" after another here since this past Friday afternoon (which I don't want to speak of) and then on Sunday when I got stuck in ditch at Wintergreen Gorge - thank you thank you thank you again Ron for helping me get unstuck.
Tonight I am baking some delicious pumpkin cupcakes for Dave to take to work with him tomorrow because it's a coworker's last day. I was getting ready to put the first pan in the oven ... had the oven door open and TRIPPED. The pan upended itself and landed unbaked cupcake-side down right on the hot oven door.
*grrrrrr*
I got the oven cleaned off and the first batch after that just finished baking without incident. *fingers crossed for the rest of them*
Two more days, I can survive them right?

Sign font fail!
We had spotted this driving home from Harborcreek the other day and had to do a double take. I was headed that same direction today and had to pull over and snap a picture of it - and I was laughing the entire time.
I never knew that the letter "T" had a loop at the top of it!

the start of fall baking
I got up this morning with the intention to bake something, so I went poking around the web for recipes. I landed on one of my favorite baking blogs and decided to make whoopie ... whoopie pies, that is! I followed the recipe I found on Howtoeatacupcake.net (that link should take you right to the post with the recipe in it) and came up with something that I will definitely make again!
