hi, i'm home.

Hullo, there, people of whom I haven't talked to in a rather long time! How've you been? I've been busy. and also, I have an announcement to make. Okay, so, you know how Jocee and I are like best friends and stuff? Well, it just so happens that Jocee and I are one and the same. So yes, this has been Jocee all along. Now some of you guys have gotten the memo, when others have still been in the dark, but I thought it'd be cool to come clean, you know?

This is a blog about a girl who loves to cook. And in the event that she does cook, sometimes a disaster is bound to happen. And Jocee, I, am that girl. So, I totally got you guys good. I think. I'm not sure. I'm going to pretend I did. I don't know when I'll be posting, not much, unfortunately, since I have to manage Cupcake Dictionary as well, but I haven't died and fallen off the planet.

So, today isn't weird at all! You just found out that Sandra was really Jocee in disguise, der der le fler. And that cupcakes are really, really good. But you knew that, so, I'll leave now. Until next time, I'm going to have a fruit fiesta.
{pee ess: I am in desperate need of a new blog design. Help.}

the sweetie award

What are your favorite sweet things to eat {or drink}?

To drink: Shirley Temple. It's sooo good.  To eat....hmm, apple pie, or this strawberry oreo cream pie that my grandma makes. It sounds weird, but it's SO. GOOD. 

                                Have you ever dreamed that Candyland was a real place?

No, but you never know what will happen!!

If there was a flavored brand of bubbles, what flavor would you get?

Umm....do I get to eat these bubbles? I don't know. I'd say Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, since it's my favorite flavor of ice cream {made by the fantastical Blue Bell}

Have you ever been kicked out of a bakery for smelling something?

Threatened. LOL, just kidding!! No, I haven't. Thank God, my life would be OVER. 

What's your favorite kind of tea?

Chamomile. It soothes....

Strawberry or Red Velvet?

Hmm....I'd have to say....strawberry. Definitely :)

Have you ever poured a jar of sprinkles into your mouth?

Yes, once. They were candy cane sprinkles. It. Was. So. Fun. 

Admit it: you've eaten icing straight of the jar, haven't you?

Why, yes. Yes I have. And I'm not afraid to say it, too!

Have you ever drooled while watching a cooking show?

What do you think I'm doing right now? Hehe :P

Thank you to the Homeschool Diaries for tagging me! I tag anyone who wants to be tagged. 

By the way, before I go, what do you think of this blog design? Do you like it? Do you think I should change it up a little bit? I'm going to have Jocee help me out. I'm actually at her house right now :P

This is Jocee hacking you. I'm awesummmmmmmm

Yes, yes she is :P And now, I'm going to end this post before Jocee starts talking about cupcakes and dictionaries. Later!

AND JOCEE. Live, laugh, love, eat cupcakes, people!!!!!! 

Hehe....oh...that...girl....

the girl with the guilty conscience...

I am a horrible person. I'm so sorry. I haven't blogged in weeks, and I haven't posted recipes or anything!!
The good news is, I made strawberry short cupcakes yesterday for Memorial Day, and filled them with whipped cream and put strawberries on top. 

(not my photo)

The bad news is, my camera is gone. It will be back, but for now, I am cameraless. 

So yes, I make food, I write down recipes, but I don't post them, nor can I take pictures of them. I am the girl with the guilty conscience.

Forgive me. 

Please.

new blog design!!

Do you like it? I like it. Yay, we all like it!! And now, in celebrating, I shall post a picture of my brand new obsession:

I have decided, that from now on, I will not dream in black and white, nor shades of gray, nor technicolor. I shall dream only in Paris. And macaroons ;)

never satisfied

As my little sister draws countless designs on my arms and I read up on HTML codes and blog headers, I'm thinking: when will I ever be satisfied? (I just realized this is my first meaningful post on this blog)
I always want something...and if I get it, I'm happy for awhile, then I want something else again. It's like an infinite loophole. You know? I do. 
I'm redesigning this blog [AGAIN] and I'm going to an egg hunt today with Jocee!
I think I need some iced tea.
I'm craving these:

I blame YOU, Jocelyn, for this. tsktsktsk.
Byee! Have fun in the kitchen :))

that girl luvveessss sweets.

I am happy. Very happy. Well, happy and disappointed. I'm happy because I have alot of announcements concerning this blog, and disappointed because I haven't followed through on those New Years Resolution's I made. It's not New Year's anymore..I should've done them by now!! 
The reason I haven't really been cooking as much as I should lately is:

• I'm juggling several things right now (including that dreaded thing called school)
• My camera hasn't really been working right (evil little troll, but hey! I'm working with it and maybe I'll get a new camera soon!)
• I have a ton of music stuff I'm working on
• I'm lazy. And making too many excuses

So, from now on, I won't make any promises, unless I know I have a plan. Now, onto the happy things about this blog:

• I'm working on re-designing it (maybe sometime in the future I'll get a custom blog design)
• I just discovered weheartit.com and they have countless pictures of...just about anything!
• I'm making this blog a little less formal. I want it to be more casual and inviting, so more people will find it...a little different from the other cooking blogs (and I know this isn't the best)

Maybe that was all the happy news I had...but look at these really cool pictures!

I probably should've mentioned I liked sweets ;) Bye bye, all :))

*Singing* Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

The title has nothing to do with this post. I just love that song. And I like sugar. Alot. 
I'm officially labeling this blog as "under construction" because my friend is helping do some really cool things with this blog, and I'm soo excited!! 


In the meantime, she asked if I could post a picture of these cupcake:

She really likes cupcakes. Speaking of which, check out her blog!! Cupcake Dictionary. Unique name, I know, but just look at it. You won't be disappointed ;)


Stay tuned and have fun in the kitchen!!
