From the Land that brought you U2, Meet Miss June

Posted in Foodie Goodness, tagged , , on May 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »

 Even though this is a design blog, I decided we’ll have a little cupcake of the month post. In honor of Natalie, Jack-Jack, and baby Froe (now know as Vanessa), I made dark chocolate Guinness cupcakes with ganache, whipped cream, and fresh berries. Oh sweet Ireland, you gave us U2, Van Morrison, the Cranberries, and last but not least Guinness-the only beer I can drink. I love you Ireland. And you too Miss June. And of course baby Froe!Miss June had to lose the whipped cream for her close up- it’s 102 in my sunroom!!!

Key Lime- You’re a Daisy if you Do

It’s not weird to spend three hours testing out recipes for next week on Memorial Day, right? I think we have a winner: Meet Miss May- a key lime mini cupcake filled with home-made key lime curd (thank you very much) and topped with lime buttercream, iridescent sugar, and lime zest. She will be meeting and greeting on June 4th at Design Narrative. It feels good to score in the kitchen after the Oreo fiasco.

Two bags of oreos and enough curses to rival a mass of drunken sailors, This is the end result. Two words, Never Again! Kelley

A random adventure… yes please.  Kelley (a new girl crush for me) brought up her design narrative idea to me last week at Borders and well I guess I just jumped in.  In my so called “previous life” (3 years ago) I worked as an interior/graphic designer for an architectural firm and overdosed on the pressure to be creative 60 hours a week.  Boo… After a quick recovery from the overdose I found my second (maybe hidden first) love, teaching special needs kiddos.  I’m in year 3 and couldn’t love it more.  For 1,000 reasons I know I’m now doing the work I was crafted to do, and one of those reasons is now I get to be creative without the pressure.  I could go on but then that’s boring.  Check out my ramblings and creations here.
