Yesterday, I had a crummy, stressful day at work. It was one of those days when the higher-ups are freaking out about an impossible deadline at the end of the week, getting everyone else all stirred up and anxious, only to find out later that the deadline is actually two weeks away. It was frustrating and tiring.

Kitchen WisdomStuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway!To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.Go to the bakery!

I needed to make a small batch of cupcakes for a man at church, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to both try out The Pioneer Woman's Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever and to show you a small tutorial on how I make buttercream icing and how to pipe it onto cupcakes. I felt the need to try this recipe because I have heard so many wonderful things about it, but I wanted to try it in cupcake form, so I halved the recipe. Here's the recipe and the following pictures that I took during the process.

I admit, as I stand, my head held high "My name is Blondey and I am a chocoholic", but......... what happened to it? I don't have a chocolate cake recipe and after craving chocolate cake for over a week, I broke down and bought a mix.

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.

So I have run a few ideas by my sister for her wedding cake, most of which she has turned down, but some of which she loved and gave the go-ahead for. She vetoed the lemon cake with lemon curd filling and vanilla buttercream, which I thought was delicious, but she and her fiance didn't hate, but didn't love.
I'm moving on to a white chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream as the filling and outside frosting.
