Cappuccino Cupcakes

I came across this beautiful photo today and it made me crave a cappuccino.  I wanted to drink this cupcake and then look in the mirror to see my white icing moustache....that is the essence of art.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates men and women who died while in military service to the United States.  First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 pm local time.  Please honor those who have given their lives for our freedom and thank those who are currently serving.

More Snow at Lake Tahoe

OK...I love the snow but Puh-Leez can we have some warm weather soon?  It snowed 4 inches this afternoon at my house.  The good news is that plowing was not required, but it is cold and windy.  I would eat two dozen cupcakes if only I could walk around in some flip-flops!  (I would eat cupcakes anyway of course)

Recipe of the Week: Hummingbird Cupcakes

The first hummingbirds of the year appeared this weekend, which is a bit surprising since we got almost a foot of snow last week.  Maybe they know something our weathermen don't.  This week's recipe honors the arrival of the first hummingbirds.
