I've been amazed & surprised at the emails I received on my birthday from various stores & restaurants who stored my personal info just so they could wish me a happy one. This one from Kahlua is perhaps the best though:

Help!
We are getting ready to do a joint celebration of my parent's birthdays next weekend. I am going to attempt to make a birthday cake that pleases them both. Problem is, my dad likes chocolate cake while my mom likes a plain ole white cake.
And I am in dire need of a cook buttercream recipe that doesn't use shortening.

You can still order a Bloomin' Onion at Outback Steakhouse, a slice of 30th anniversary chocolate cake cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory, and a Pizookie at BJ's Restaurant Brewhouse.
But you'll have a harder time enjoying them in blissful ignorance. Since July 1, chains with at least 20 restaurants statewide have been required to provide diners with the gory nutritional details -- including calories.

Halloween, scarily enough, is just around the corner and I'm thinking that it would be a great idea to bring in some goodies that I can share with my office. I've been rather remiss in ever bringing in any treats and I think this would be a fun thing to do, especially since the end of the fiscal year is coming (September 30! ARGH!) and we're all a little stressed out.

Holleighz’ 52 Weeks of Baking – Week 3: Lemon Drop Cupcakes
Earlier this week, my mom celebrated her birthday, and she had one special request – cupcakes from me. Since she lives states away and cupcakes are not exactly the most shippable pastry, this meant a flawless original recipe. Her favorite flavor is vanilla, but she saw my vanilla bean cupcakes already.

Brando celebrated his very first birthday on Monday! He's growing up so fast! I made him the peanut butter carrot cake that Pet posted a recipe for last week and he flipped for it.

I baked this cake, as well as a red velvet cake with white chocolate and chocolate buttercream frosting for a friend's birthday... unfortunately I got to taste neither of them, although I heard they were quite tasty (I got a MONETARY offer to bake the red velvet for another party... of course I wouldn't charge for it!)
SO, we start out with these ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temp
1 1/4 cup brown sugar splenda/ brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup pumpkin pie filling
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup buttermilk
(Preheat to 350) As for most recipes, you just mix the flour together with the other dry ingredients, excluding the brown sugar.
