Every geek has a favorite gadget. Or two. Or three. It's just part of our DNA. You know those special electrical items you won't step on a plane, train, or boat without? Share your top picks with me by joining my group, My Favorite Gadgets and blogging about your "can't live without 'em gadgets." If I think everyone should know about them, I might even feature them on the geeksugar Read more

I was checking out the posts on TeamSugar when I came across this one in the Cake Decorators Unite! group. Group founder ashleyk4214 really stepped up her game and created this gorgeous cake for a wedding this past weekend. It's a French vanilla cake with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing. That sounds delicious enough, but my favorite part is actually the cascading white roses, Read more

If you guys haven't been checking out TeamSugar lately you may have missed a relatively new group called Cake Decorators Unite! In it you can share your masterpieces, as well as any cake decorating tips you may have acquired. Right now most of the posts are from TeamSugar member ashleyk4214, but if she keeps posting creations as cute as this cake she made for her brother-in-law, then I'm okay Read more

Yesterday I shared some fabulous photos Lindsb's good friend took at the "The Art of the Brick" exhibit by Nathan Sawaya at the Lancaster Museum of Art and I realized there are probably thousands of you geeksugar readers who have exciting, geeky photos, stories and tips you want to share with me and your fellow geek fans. Our shared admiration for all things techie, chic and innovative is the Read more

The next group I want to highlight in our Better Know a Group series is Lite'n it Up. Lite'n it Up was started by our own FitSugar and is a place to put your healthy recipes and fat-cutting tips. In Lite'n it Up, you'll find original healthy concoctions or "cleaned up" old favorites (like these Lightened Up PB Cookies). So if you're trying to watch what you eat, but still want to experience some Read more

*Drool* You know you're drooling too. How could you not be drooling at this three layer chocolate raspberry mousse cake with white chocolate ganache, raspberries and chocolate shavings on top. This photo was posted by our very own geeksugar in the Savory Sights Group. And today, as part of my Better Know a Group series, I thought I'd take a minute to introduce you to the Savory Sights Read more

I know there are a ton of you that have joined the geeksugar groups on TeamSugar, but only a small percentage of you have shared photos of your My Favorite Gadgets in our group. If there is one thing I know about geeks, it's that most of us like to share (and sometimes boast) about all our prized gadgets, gizmos and techie treats. I started My Favorite Gadgets so we could do just that. Read more

Ah for the joy of a nice drink (be it alcoholic or non). I don't know about you guys, but I am always on the lookout for something new to try. Whether it's a sparkling lemonade, or a caramel mochatini, I have got to try them all. Turns out I'm not the only one. In the next part of our Better Know a Group series, I thought I'd highlight the group called Let's Have a Drink. Over at Let's Have..., Read more

A little while ago as I was browsing through the groups on TeamSugar I was surprised to see that there was no group devoted to highlighting images of your fabulous parties. Sure there are groups that discuss wedding party plans, recipes, and wines but what about one devoted to all things party? That's why I started the Super Special Occasions group! When I host a party I love to take tons of Read more

As part of my Better Know a Group series, I thought I'd let you guys know about the group called Wine Cellar. As its name might suggest, this group is for everyone who's interested in wine. Open up a bottle and post your own notes here! If you've had a great bottle let everyone know, if you have a bad bottle, share your experience so the rest of us know what to look out for. Also be sure to check Read more
