Baking Skills

















This Sunday I was invited to a Saints game at Autumn and Gary's so I decided to make some cupcakes and caramel apples for the shindig. Anyway I decided to take the extra step and jazz him them up with the Saints logo. I got my friend to cut out a fleur- de- lis on paper and I decorated the cupcakes with black sugar. Check them out. It's devils food cake with cream cheese frosting. They were a hit. My caramel apples were a big hit also. Someone at the party asked if I made the caramel. He's a chef at Stella a really nice restaurant here in New Orleans and he said it was easy. I'm sure with time I could have but microwaving the caramel candies was hard enough. Just kidding. Robin did help me unwrap the candies. I could have bought the already unwrapped ones but for the same price I got about 3 more ounces so I went with the wrapped ones. I also made a practice run on some ghost cupcakes I'm going to make for the people working on DeTodo tomorrow. Check him out.

Happy Halloween!

So it's my favorite time of the year. The weather has finally cooled down and Halloween is just around the corner. Halloween is my favorite time of the year since it falls one day after my birthday so it's a celebration all weekend long. I've already been to one Halloween party this year and of course I broke out the old Catholic School outfit. Bryan was a professor and I was his student. It was cheap costume(I had all the components in my wardrobe don't ask) and it's all about the savings this year since the economy is in the tank. I'll post pictures of me in my costume as soon as I get them from Bryan. Left my camera charger in Austin and still waiting for Crissy to send it to me. She's got a six month old and three year old so I might be waiting a while. I look like a 15 year old Asian girl. Kinda creepy. When I put my hair in pigtails I look expressly young and Asian. Anyway, Bryan and I are thinking about going as sexual positions for Halloween. Bryan as missionary and I as reverse cowgirl. My friend Beth might be going as masturbation and we are trying to get another friend to go as the wheel barrow. Trying to figure that one out. Anyway I will post pictures later as soon as I get them. XO
