I’m sick and tired of subtweets. Subtweets are basically the epitome of digital passive-agressiveness… precariously bordering on downright aggressive. According to Urban Dictionary, “subtweet” is short for “subliminal tweet” which is directly referring to a particular person without mentioning their name — i.e. talking about someone behind their back (but actually directly in their face […]

lemon raspberry cupcakes
Surprises are funny, you either love ’em or you hate ’em.Scratch that. That’s not true at all. It just sounded like a good hook for this post.Personally, I’m in the middle. Sometimes, I like to be in the know. For example, I set different ringtones for different people. It takes the anxiety out of texting. […]
red velvet cupcakes
Somehow it has become socially acceptable to dislike Valentine’s Day. Some people say that it’s a meaningless marketing scam run by card and chocolate companies. Others try to be witty, saying that we should profess our love every day of the year. You all need to relax. I hate Halloween — but you don’t hear […]
pina colada cupcakes
I do a lot of wonderingIt’s just how my brain works. I’m always asking questions. Maybe it’s because I’m young, maybe it’s because I’m restless. I’m probably a little bit of both. If you could peek into my brain at any given moment, it would look something like this: What hair color do they put […]
nutella cupcakes
February 5th is World Nutella Day. Hold on… today is February 5th, and I just serendipitously have a Nutella recipe to share with you all. I missed International Bacon Day, Biscuit Day, and even National Julienne Fries Day (August 12 in case you were wondering…). I keep track of time by tests, track practices, hours wasted […]

banana split cupcakes
Aren’t these cute!? At my track meet on Friday, I couldn’t stop showing everyone the grainy pictures of these banana split cupcakes on my iPhone. “Hey, look what I made!”“You can’t see it in the picture, but they’re filled with banana pudding — pretty fancy, huh?”“Those are real maraschino cherries… in case you were wondering.” […]
twix cupcakes
Halloween sparks fear in many of us.When I was younger, I used to be extremely afraid of any costume that involved a mask. I still don’t particularly love those skeleton costumes with the red food coloring “blood” running through them. Ick. The number one fear in my family on Halloween has always been running out […]
pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
I can’t get enough of fall baking, and nothing screams fall baking quite like canned pumpkin! I have been dumping it into bars, smoothies, cakes, loaves and everything else I can get my hands on — because I know that before long, I will have to move on to gingerbread, peppermint and Christmas cookies. I […]
carrot muffins
My Dad bought a 5 pound bag of baby carrots that was about to go bad, so I had a lot of fun experimenting with various carrot recipes — carrot cake Lara bars, carrot cake granola, carrot pancakes… but my carrot-fest would definitely not be complete without a real carrot cake! This is the famous, […]
