Blogger Trouble

I'm currently having some trouble with my background and template. I'm not the greatest with figuring this out!

Long Time

Its been a long time since I blogged...but I have some reasons:

-I was in texas last week enjoying delicious Mexican food (look for a post on the tortillas and churros soon)

-The week before that I was at State Fair where I was surprised, schocked, and delighted to win the clock trophy with a sewing project...wasnt expecting that at all!!

-Before that I spent a couple a days in Washington D.C.! I visited Georgetown Cupcake (D.C. Cupcakes Show) (another post soon!) and the world famous Sprinkles!

Stay tuned in the next week for some more posts on my travels in the last month and a new recipe post for chocolate chip cookie pie....mmmmm.....!

Cupcake Shop Review: The Faithful Little Cupcake

So this is the first cupcake shop that I have been to that is "local" to my area! It just opened up in June!

It is in the basement of a furniture store and an art gallery so it misses the benifit of an eye catching window. But the shop itself is sorta cute...especially loved their darling cupcake art work

 

Now Back to business on the actual cupcake: I tried a chocolate peanut butter cupcake:

And Heres What I Thought: This cupcake was overall very good, it was pretty moist. However it had no filling (which is Ok). Overall I wouldn't call this one "a destination shop" as its cupcakes are very small and the shop is not just in rock your socks of condition!

The Faithful Little Cupcake does a Charity project for every cake purchased they donate a cupcake to a child in need!

Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake

So get this: How about a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake with cookie dough filling, and Brown sugar frosting? I made tidy mom's recipe recently and it was delicious:

Some pictures for proof:

Absolutely Delicious.I piped the frosting on and rolled em in chocolate chips. A recipe that we are gonna save.Note: If you use an apple corer to removet the centers to fill the cupcakes you will be left with a yummy treat to enjoy while you wait on the filling to chill! So Go grab Tidy Mom's Recipe and make yourself a batch.

New Headband Idea

Boy, haven't updated in a while- but finally 4-H is nearly done! But I do have a new headband:

Found this idea on Blue Cricket Designs- here.

They are extremely simple! I switched them up a bit and did 3 rows of stitching down the center and only one ruffle. I've done them in pink and brown- using the blue cricket design tutorial.
