Rainbows & Candy Corn

So, M's birthday was on the 13th! Birthdays around here are just like any other day. We usually try to cook something up yummy and maybe a small little gift. This year, things have been kinda tight, so we opted to do pizza. Well, I did. M didn't know anything about it until he was eating it! I've been wanting to make a Rainbow Cake since like .. forever. So, I figured why not make M an extremely manly birthday cake this year! He was ok with it. I intended to use this recipe but then decided I'd just get white cake mixes. That's easier. Then I attempted this buttercream icing recipe that's on the same page. DISASTER! I don't know what I did wrong, but I did something. I finally manged to salvage it enough to use for the crumb layer,...

Lame.

Because I'm lame and I don't update my blog except once in a blue moon (i'm trying tho i swear!) I decided to just share a little bit of Hershey goodness with you. Enjoy! And because I'm even more lame, Youtube doesn't want to let me embed this. Well, it's probably more like an operator error, but I'm sticking with blaming youtube!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcakes

  Yesterday my family had a cook out for the holiday. Well, it turned out to be much more of a "cook in" thanks to all the rain we've been having. I suppose it was a good time. My family can be loud and obnoxious, all the time. I don't really do well in large groups of people, especially when there's a few who insist on being loud. Not to mention all the extremely unnecessary drama that goes on. I pretty much ate and then went back home. Social butterfly, right? But, I did make some cupcakes! I have fallen in love with Betty Crocker's website. Everything on it is so easy to make and yummy. I've been wanting to make these for a while now, so I figured a cook out was a good time to try them. Delicious!! I recommend this 100%. Strawberry...

2 projects 1 post.

I think I am probably one of the worst bloggers to exist. I'd love to say that my lack of posting is because I'm living a really busy, exciting lifestyle .. but I'm not. I'm a housewife. A stay at home dreamer. But I do have a couple of little projects to share with you today. I have a few more that are in the works right now. Although for the last 3 days I have been diseased with some kinda horrid sinus plaque. Those 3 days have went like this: Wake up. Walk to my parents house and eat some mushy oatmeal. Fall asleep on their couch for 3 hours. Wake up feeling worse than before. Walk back home. Lay on the couch and watch cheesy daytime tv. Eat some crackers. Lay on the couch and watch boring nighttime tv. Go to bed. Lather. Rinse. Repeat....
