Hey Everyone!
My husband is giving a recital in a couple weeks and I would like to put together a little reception for afterward. After his last recital we had everyone over to our place for homemade cheesecake and coffee.

Holleighz’ 52 Weeks of Baking – Week 3: Lemon Drop Cupcakes
Earlier this week, my mom celebrated her birthday, and she had one special request – cupcakes from me. Since she lives states away and cupcakes are not exactly the most shippable pastry, this meant a flawless original recipe. Her favorite flavor is vanilla, but she saw my vanilla bean cupcakes already.

Holleighz’ 52 Weeks of Baking – Week 5: Asian Spice Cupcakes with Individual Black Pearls
(Yes, I do realize that this is becoming “52 Weeks of Cupcakes”…)
I’m a huge fan of the recent trend of combining chocolate and exotic spices. Somewhere, I heard rumor of black pearl chips, a mixture of dark chocolate and wasabi, and I scoured every Asian grocery in the city for months with no luck. When I came across this recipe for a black pearl layer cake, I was instantly intrigued – it had the same flavor combination in a rich ganache.

Inspired by YumSugar’s “52 Weeks of Baking” and the success of last week’s cupcakes, I have decided to take on my own weekly baking challenge. Of course, I waited until the last day of week two to make this decision, the same day Boston was swept by a massive snowstorm. Ok, I admit, the weather was not that bad, but it was enough to discourage me from trekking across slippery, slushy sidewalks to the grocery.

DAYTON, Nev. – Gabriel Hurles' sixth birthday party wasn't a surprise, but his present sure was. The kindergartner was so engrossed in the cupcakes his mother brought to his class on Wednesday that he didn't notice the enormous wrapped box off to the side.

on my last grocery trip i splurged a little and bought vanilla beans. i’ve been dying to experiment with them, but at just under $20 for two beans i was a bit hesitant. that’s a lot of money gone to waste for anything less than the spectacular.
