Austin DEFINITELY deserves a dome! They should offer their own secession plan actually, they can totally become honorary Vermonters or Massholes. Read more

I feel like I need a dome to seal my state (Massachusetts) off from the stupid, if I'm being honest. Read more

I bake a lot for friends and family and parties and it's SO hard to prettily frost a cupcake without too much frosting but you are so right. Unless it's a whipped cream/cream cheese type frosting I wipe that sugary shit right off. Plain old cake is the best! Read more
I hope they still make it there, it was insanely delicious and surprisingly simple to make. The fact that I have an ungodly amount of baking/cake decorating tools probably helped, even though it makes my kitchen look like a bakery and drives my boyfriend bonkers! Read more
Yes! I won't even start cooking until everyone arrives anymore because that shit happens all the time. I go with a ton of cold apps (CHEESE PLATE!) so no one starts to whine. I feel like people have improved as I've aged but it's still so annoying! Read more
True! The yeast! I guess a croissant cake could actually work, in theory. And it would make an unholy mess in cupcake tins but I think I have to try it any way! Read more
I was thinking of piling homemade pastry dough into a cupcake tin, baking it and then filling that sucker with some pastry cream and topping it off with either a dark chocolate buttercream or a chocolate ganache if we're really gonna get into it! Read more
Because I've already begun whoring myself out (though I have not yet made either the pinata cake or pinata cookie) I'll show you the cake I made for my last dinner party, it's a traditional Hungarian cake called Dobos torte. 7 layers of vanilla sponge cake, filled and topped with chocolate buttercream and a layer of…
YES! What happened to those things? They are the yummiest! Read more
I cried when I read those instructions. And I say this as someone who recently made lemon cupcakes filled with lemon curd, topped with a lemon swiss meringue buttercream and my own yellow & white swirl lemon meringues on top. (Picture below because I'm a whore like that, my meringues cracked after all that work!)
The problem there is size (why yes, I HAVE already thought about this!) Puff pastry tends to cook better in smaller sizes, a cake would probably be mushy in the middle! Read more
No way, pinata cake FTW! Cake now, snack for later!
I'm a month late to this party but I somehow just landed in this post and I'm thinking lemon curd would be a ridiculously good filling! Read more
They'll all be fucked when I introduce the Crupcake next week. BOW DOWN FOOLS! Read more
Dusting is the worst. I just visited with my grandparents and they are in that unloading phase old people go through when they think they are going to die (keep in mind they are 76 and 79 and in pretty much perfect health) and my car was loaded down with shit. Obviously it's sentimental shit, the dollhouse my… Read more
I think I have FINALLY reached that point, at age 31, where I literally can't even come up with something I need to buy anymore. That's how bad I have been with money and how happy shopping makes me. Finally sat my ass down with a financial adviser and realized if I want a house I can't spend assloads of cash on… Read more
