Cupcake Obsession

My Mom used to make me Cupcake Ice Cream Cones when I will little. You just bake the cake batter in a cake cone and then put frosting on top to look like ice cream. Delicious!

I have been searching the web trying to find fun cupcake recipes and decoration ideas. I came across much more than I expected... cupcake undies at Victoria's Secret, stationary, gifts, and tattoos (click on the word, if you want to see what I am talking about). Tattoos? Of a cupcake? I don't even know if my obsession would go that far. I found a lot of these links on a really cute website called All Things Cupcake... and they are not kidding, there is a lot of cupcake stuff on this site. I just thought I would share since, come to find out, a lot of my family and friends are obsessed with cupcakes as well.

Spring Is Here!

First, I have to apologize for being a blogging slacker lately. We have been really busy. A couple of weeks ago, when it started warming up outside, we both got a serious case of spring fever. Cory has already started yard work like planting flowers, pruning trees, and power raking the grass. He even detailed both of our cars (he's the greatest!). I on the other hand have been going room to room, cleaning out every closet, drawer, and anything else that could possibly be cleaned out. I have been throwing things away, taking car load after car load to Deseret Industries, and recycling everything else. I have been organizing everything! Next step is to deep clean our house until it smells like spring (to me, spring smells like clorox and flowers). 

This picture, out of the Pottery Barn catalog, was my inspiration. I was flipping through and saw all of their organizational and storage items and I caught the bug. I love how this one has a weekly menu, monthly calendar, key holders, a place for invitations and pictures, and a docking station that you can charge your cell phones, iPods, and more. 

It seems like every spring my "Domestic Diva" side comes out. I clean more, I bake more, and I cook dinner more than once or twice a week. These are some of the cupcakes I whipped up this weekend. I am still playing with cake batters and frosting designs - nothing to brag about yet.

We couldn't be more happy that spring is here (I refuse to look outside right now, since it is lightly snowing - I am imaging blue skies and birds chirping). Happy Spring!
