I catered the cupcake buffet for my friend Leica’s Saskatchewan Scraps crop event this weekend. It doesn’t look like there are 160 cupcakes on this table, but there are!


Strawberry sponge cake with buttercream frosting. It was a new flavour for me.

My signature chocolate with pink frosting and sprinkles! Just like my banner. Lurrve.

Red velvet with golden buttercream frosting. Thank you to Miss Karen for providing extra frosting for this venture… it was needed!

S’mores cupcakes: these ones were gone first, I wonder why?

Classic red velvet with vanilla buttercream. These were the only “holiday” decorated cupcakes on the table.

Soft pink buttercream frosting… I used a food spray to get the delicate effect.

There’s nothing as pretty as a table of assorted cupcakes, do you agree? Leica threw an amazing event, all of the scrappers had a great time – it was exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. I also took new necklace and bracelet designs to the event on Saturday. What is left will be in my Etsy later this week, just in time for Christmas shipping.

Loopy and I took in New Moon with our friends Jenn, Karen and Georgina on the weekend! Before I tell you what I thought, I need to know: Team Edward?


Or Team Jacob? Loopy and I are Team Jacob… we aren’t into the emaciated, romantic, blood-drinking type. We decided after the show that we both like the mysterious, loyal werewolf types. What can I tell you? We’re dog people.
New Moon was so much better than Twilight. Obviously they had more money for production and special effects this time around. It ran for two hours and I didn’t once ask Loopy if it was over yet, like I did when we watched Twilight. The best part was sitting next to Karen and sharing a running commentary about the shirtless werewolves and vampires.
Oh, and taking a nice comfy chair out of the dollhouse for Little Ed, and a Coke in case he got, uh, thirsty. That part was fun, too.
New Moon gets four out of five cupcakes from the buffet table. Two cupcakes for the acting, but two bonus cupcakes for the shirtless beefcake.
Hey, I’m just being honest.
