This week was pretty low key. We’re making a lot of adjustments around here & I’m enjoying spending more time with a 3 foot tall version of The Magician. We celebrated her 2nd birthday & I’ve watched more Dora the Explorer in the last week than anyone should be subjected to. [...]

Attention! Attention, macaroons! I have an announcement. Please put down your morning coffee, close all your other tabs because I am going to embark on a great adventure. A Chocolate Adventure, in fact!
The Magician & I both have daringly creative tastes. If palates were adventurers, mine would be Indiana Jones (“This flavor belongs in a [...]

Gourd of the Flies
October has been stunning this year, macaroons. Aside from a few rainy days, it’s been perfect motorcycle riding weather with no traffic to stand in my way. Have you planned out your Halloween costume yet? I’m torn between an easy character costume & a really awesome, but also complicated retro idea. [...]

Pomegranate & Lemon Buttercream of Amazingness!
I’ve been wanting to try a tea cupcake for a while, macaroons. With autumn blowing in, I find myself reaching for a hot cup of tea to shake the chill. These came out beautifully. Subtle Earl Grey bergamot flavor paired with the tartness in the lemon or pomegranate buttercream [...]

These Easter eggs are shaped kind of funny
I’ve had a baking itch for a couple of weeks now, macaroons. When I saw these Cadbury Creme Egg cupcakes, I was interested, but I think they look kind of gross. However, it was just the inspiration I needed. Two chocolate covered hands later, I had the [...]

Superalzy's teaming up with POM superjuice to defeat dinner!
The kind people over at POM Wonderful sent me a free case of POM 100% Pomegranate juice because I am a superhero & POM juices have antioxidant superpowers. I’d seen POM in the supermarket before & always wanted to try it because of the health benefits. [...]

Life's not a rollercoaster…it's bumper cars…on acid.
How was your week, macaroons? Did you try anything from last week’s Magic Monday list? I had a busy week between taking care of a post-op Muldoon & building a massive Finding Nemo cake for a 1st birthday party. That cake consumed my entire weekend, but it was [...]

Cupcake results not typical. These are by Sheela @ Miel Y Leche Bakery
Considering the fact that a special little friend of mine had her first birthday yesterday, I had a lot of cake work to do over the weekend. Deciding to play with fondant for the first time requires some practice, macaroons, & as [...]

Hi there, Haikuesday!
The year is off to a good start, macaroons. I’ve regrouped. I’ve added a new feature to the site known as Magic Mondays that began with an Open Letter to 2010 & will result in 52 beautiful weeks lived to the fullest by doing little things.
Hope is a large fish

Don't let Holiday Blues sneak up on you!
Everyone has their own, unique traditions around the holidays, macaroons. Some people do a seven-fish feast on Christmas Eve; some people sit on their island of misfit toys & eat peanut butter & fluff sandwiches in their feety pajamas. There’s nothing wrong with either of those [...]
