We have been knee-deep in cupcakes around here.  I am loving this hummingbird bakery book.

I delivered a meal to a friend who just had a baby girl.  I couldn’t resist making the marshmallow cupcakes for her.

holy sugar shock

Next time I would make them with plain white marshmallows because I’m not a fan of the flavored ones, but I was going for over the top pink and I got it.

I also tried the black bottom cupcakes.  y to the um

I had to do a little change up on the recipe.  I went with just an egg yolk instead of a whole egg.  Next time I might even use more cream cheese to really get that cheesecake flavor.

My personal fav (so far) is the chocolate muffin

Everyone around here loved them.  They worked great for the kids sack lunches.  I left out the chocolate chunks this time, but I don’t think I will leave them out next time.

Sometimes smocks can be a little too maternity for me, but this smock is CUTE! It’s an apron without being aprony. I’m working on something similar that will tie instead of being a pullover.

Here’s the test version. Having been reworked several times, it’s rough around the edges (literally), but I just love the print with the numbers. I’ll be taking this one apart and using the fabric for something else.

This week Ninon is hosting My place & yours and she chose the theme, blog headquarters.

My “blog HQ” went through a bit of transition last week.  First of all, the week was pretty much a wash with two sick kids around all day who were kind enough to share their germs with me. (cough, cough, sneeze) Then, in the middle of all that fun, our new computer arrived.  I’m looking forward to finally having a chance to get to use it.

Go here to find a list of this weeks players.

Thanks Ninon!
