Another sleepless night, another silly blog. Anyway, so look what I ate for dinner...
It's a red velvet cupcake. Set me back four big ones but honestly, it was worth it. Eating my feelings has never tasted so good. I got it from this place called...
Dimples. Their cupcakes are really pretty good. I wouldn't say that they're the best that I've tried, but they're a super close second in the area. I plan on doing a more extensive review once I'm not lazy.
So, I've mentioned how I'm kind of on the fence about dyeing my hair pink. I've been doing some research and stuff. I've found a few pictures of pink hair that I like. Here's a couple.
Isn't just gorgeous? I think this is a picture of a bride on her wedding day. I love the hairstyle and the color.
I'm considering this style as well since I'm not too sure if I wanna go balls deep in pink. Wait, that sounded totally inappropriate...
Anyway, I've got a few more pictures of pink hair I'd like to post but I shall save them for another time. Now, I shall play "At Seventeen" on repeat and dream about cherry Coke.
Hello all! I hope you all had a FANtabulous Halloween and had a bunch of candy. My Halloween was rather uneventful but still rather pleasant. :) I had a chance to go to my local The Cupcakery, so expect a review soon.
Well, aside from eating cupcakes and attending a play on Halloween I finally got a chance to meet an adviser from a culinary school which shall remain unnamed for now. I haven't had the chance to blog about this just yet BUT after thinking long and hard, I came up with my plan. My current plan is to go to culinary school and still work towards a BA in English through an online degree. The best of both worlds in my opinion. Anyway, I met with an adviser and I will let you know that he doesn't know jack shit about cooking. The admissions team is made up of people with management and communications degrees. Their job is to sell the school. So, we run into the director of admissions while on the tour. He asks what I'm currently doing. I tell him which school I go to and that I'm undeclared. His eyebrows raised. He then continued to almost scold me, saying that I need to really know what I want to do and not waste my parents money. As if I was some trust-fund brat that got everything she ever wanted. PLEASE. I hate how he put me in a box after only speaking to me for a few seconds. I am PASSIONATE about baking. I love cupcakes and I love having the idea of having my own business/bakery. I am not a dumb little girl. I realize that reaching my ultimate goal of owning and running my own cupcake bakery will be hard and it will take a lot of time and discipline. This idea of going to culinary school is not something I decided on a whim. Also, I'm not WASTING my parents' money. I have private and federal loans in MY name and any (minimal) money they have paid I plan to pay back once my final loan application clears. I really wanted to just punch this man in the nuts. Of course, I played the pleasant, complacent doormat I always am, kept my mouth and my hands/fists by my side. I seriously felt very insulted.
ANYWAY! On another note, I have been working on some stencils (I'm a little obsessed), so look out for that blog also. It's very late and I'm sure that I have like two quizzes in the morning. :/
So, anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE cupcakes. I'm a fanatic. Even my pseudonym has the word "cupcake" in it. Well, some time ago my good friend, Lila mentioned to me that famous cupcaketieer Sprinkles had a location here in town, so last weekend I took a visit, especially since I follow Sprinkles on Twitter (twitter.com/sprinkles) and every day they give out a secret word that gets you a free cupcake. Free and cupcake in the same sentence? I'm a goner. So, anyway, here are some pictures of the cupcakes and my review.
The packaging is very, very cute. I wanted a sticker for my day planner.
The cupcakes in their natural state. Here you see, clockwise from top left, Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, and Lemon.
Vanilla-y goodness?
The most delicious of the bunch: Red Velvet. I got this cutie for FREE.
Strawberry.
Bye, cupcakes!
As for my thoughts on the cupcakes?
I'm very sad to say that I was not very pleased with my purchase. Each cupcake is a whopping $3.25. Yes, they're big and have a heaping helping of frosting BUT I just didn't like how they tasted, except for the Red Velvet which was very, very yummy. For me, a cupcake has to be the whole package. The cupcake and the frosting have to work together to make this confection a celebration of flavors. The cupcakes tasted very bland with no real taste, but the frosting was very rich and buttery. After a couple of bites, I was sick of it. The strawberry cupcake tasted like banana bread. I like banana bread but I was expecting strawberry. The lemon was also pretty good, but I had the same frosting problem. The only time I'd go back to Sprinkles is for a free Red Velvet cupcake. So, I will most likely be there again very soon.
Hello, all! So sorry that I haven't updated, though I doubt that anyone actually reads this. I am doing really well albeit tired. I've been at an anime convention! I'll try to update with pictures soon. That's all for now. I'll leave you with a picture of a cupcake, cupcakes. Goodnight!
Okay, so my first attempt at this blog FAILED pretty hard, but here we go again. Mmkay? Mmkay. Here are pictures from the last 2-3 weeks, I really don't keep count.
Monsieur Angry Orange.
Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes I made for my class one day.

My mother bought us a giant cupcake pan from Wilton. I was pretty stoked.
Isn't it pretty?
Didn't come out the way I wanted it, but hey, we'll get 'em next time, eh?
Have you ever seen a neon pink "Incident Ahead" sign? Neither had I until this, and I had to take a picture of it.
I love you cupcakes. Tasted terrible, but they were pretty!
I was a bit bored... Also, I bought a tiny container of Play Doh for a dollar. If you were wondering, the color is "Tropical Pink".
And now we are all caught up to speed. :D I'll be posting again soon!
