Some years ago, I discovered mojitos, which I liked a lot, at least when they were made well.DIY Beauty: Bathtime
At the end of a long day, it's always nice to come home and relax, particularly when that relaxation involves a bathtub, a glass of wine, and some music. It's the best way to destress and wash away all your cares of the day, particularly during the summer.

Asian Spice Cupcakes with a Black Pearl Filling
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.Root Beer Float Cupcakes

I actually could not believe the weather the other day. The temperature on the way home was 80F. Hooray!
Orange Blossom Sour Cream Pound Cake

Adapted from Sour Cream Pound Cake at The Wandering Eater
This recipe whips up a lot of extra batter. I had enough for the loaf as well as 10 cupcakes. Also, the orange blossom flavor was very subtle and only noticeable in the crust - an additional bit of orange extract or fresh orange peel would have been good.
