cupcakes!


root beer float cupcake - recipe from team sugar. i couldn't resist making these. although it called for some special ingredients i didn't have on hand it was SO worth it. i give the recipe 4 out of 5 stars. my buttercream scoop on the top flattened a bit (should have used more powdered sugar) but they were still fantastic (there is root beer icing AND buttercream!).

i came across the link to these on a blog (assuming it was a knitting blog since that is mainly all i read), but i don't recall which one! i wish i could give credit to the person who inspired my delicious dessert yesterday. if you know who it was let me know, it is driving me a bit crazy that i can't remember! thanks brynne - you were right, i did see it at ljc.


yesterday i also setup my kitties 1st birthday gift. a water bowl that circulates the water like a fountain. they love it. here you see lily waiting her turn.

i have a couple cupcake necklaces over at the shop blog.sold out, thanks.

next up will be another baby fo and a contest for a good cause.

Those look delicious! I'm going to try them this weekend. Love the cats--I spoil mine too but can't find a good place to put the water fountain for her.

Cupcakes sound really good. Last time I was in Chicago I had these amazing Red Velvet cupcakes. My kitties really like sinks.

Good god, I need some of that cupcake! Like NOW! What's a girl to do with no root beer in the house? Looks like I'm heading out. See ya with frosting on my fingers.

i must try this recipe, as i love root beer. and why do cats love running water so much? it's a strange phenomenon.

Happy Birthday Kitties! Sassy and Eraser just love their water bowl like that too. Funny thing, Sassy lays in the sink like that too.

Can't wait to make those cupcakes!
