Sorry, long post!
It was a cupcake kind of weekend! Well, cookies too, but cupcakes first 😁 Happy birthday Megan! And thank you Alisa!
First pic- vanilla bean cupcake with a cookie dough-like buttercream! Oh my gosh, made with brown sugar & powdered sugar, it is divine and without the eggs like regular cookie dough! Can we say dangerous?
And Cookies & Cream cupcake & buttercream, yes please!
Second pic- decadent chocolate cupcake with fluffy peanut butter buttercream😍
And lastly- my now-so-famous vanilla bean-lemon curd filled cupcake with the lemon raspberry compote buttercream 😍
I’m not a frosting lover at heart, but these are fantastic! Family approved!
I sold a bunch of tomatoes this past weekend, got caught up on my canning, now waiting til the next round on the vines ripen. A round of ketchup, peach bbq sauce and salsa to do and then I’m done with tomatoes!
On the stovetop today I’m steam juicing grapes my daughter and I picked a few days ago. Where has this juicer been all my life? No stemming the grapes! Apples next! Easy peasy!
I’m planning all my class set themes finally. Menus are being worked on, new things being ordered for my vendor events. I need new table covers, a lighter banner and business cards, just to name a few. There shouldn’t be much more.
I’m glad for rainy days so my mind doesn’t wonder, reminding me of all the things to get things done outside/garden. I get a few days break.
Find the joy in all the things you do! Have a great rest of the day my cookie friends!
