Yesterday TeamSugar and I hosted a surprise Cinco de Mayo party here in the Sugar office! In little under 45 minutes, we transformed the conference room into a Mexican fiesta zone. Soft tacos, taquitos, and chips were on the menu. We filled buckets with ice and Coronas and pitchers with the ultimate margarita. To see the transformation in action, check out the video below.

If you're more like me than PartySugar — and by that I mean a solid procrastinator — I should probably remind you that Mother's Day is this Sunday. If you still don't know what to get for the lady of your life, well calm down, I've got some ideas.

Le Creuset recently announced a new Dijon color set. The bright and bold yellow color is wonderfully Spring friendly and a load of fun. Pots and pans don't sound like the most amazing Mother's day gift, but believe me a new Le Creuset set does. But, if mom ends up hating it, take her to a day spa and keep the Dijon set for yourself!

If you want to spoil her with an entire mustard-yellow theme, then scroll through to see some more bold finds.

When I was in college, one of my favorite professors — hi Manfred! — invited me to a dinner where he served homemade tempeh. I've had it many times since, but it's not as tasty as homemade. Maybe it's time I try to make tempeh. It requires special equipment, and patience, but looks like it could be worth it. — HomeMadeS

Let's all give a round of applause to April's top commenter on YumSugar, TeamSugar member sonnabobble. Congrats sonnabobble! You'll be receiving a YumSugar apron in the mail soon. When dealing with kitchen disasters she suggests keeping first-aid supplies in the kitchen:

I always burn myself getting things out of the oven . . . or flipping things like tortillas with my hands (i know it's stupid, but that's how my mom and grandma do it).That's why i keep the burn salve in the kitchen cabinet.

She loves to cook and won't change her shopping habits just because food costs more:

I buy stuff on sale, and use coupons when the store puts them next to items, but i buy what i want!! i love to cook and i'm not gonna stop . . . plus, it's still cheaper than eating out.

Thanks for being our top talker sonnabobble!

If you're feeling a bit shy you can always order your own. I've put some of my favorites — like the apron and bib — below, but there's lots more to choose from.

Somehow, a themed cake makes the party. People will lick their lips at any delicious dessert, but the wonderfully thematic cake will be talked about afterwards.

This past weekend TeamSugar member eclaireassuch held a Kentucky Derby Party and created a fantastic cake to go along with it. She decorated a chocolate-nutella cake with intricate red roses — like the ones the winner wears — and topped that with a ring of horses.

After the tragic end where Eight Belles died, she knocked one of the horses over. She admits now, it was probably in poor taste. Yet, I still have to admire her creation. What do you guys think? Despite the dark humor, don't you want to just dive head first into that ring of roses?!
