Love to bake — lots of cupcakes from scratch!
Great giveaway!!
I’ve never baked cupcakes from scratch… I’m a semi-homemade kind of girl.
Hi, We have small library room in our home.
That is where I can get the most work done!
Thanks, Cindi
Just got around to starting Lost . . . and am really liking is so far 🙂
I love making cupcakes from scratch! Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is my fave combination 🙂
The only thing I bake is pumpkin chocolate chip bread, yum!
I’ve baked lots of cupcakes from scratch! In our household, we have to make EVERYTHING from scratch because my mom has severe peanut, tree nut, and soy allergies. Pretty much everything you get in a store has at least one of the three baddies in it, so we have to seek out specialty ingredients that aren’t contaminated (flours, chocolates, extracts, etc). And trust me, the desserts we make here are fantastic! We’ve had people request that we make desserts because they loved them so much. The best part is, these desserts are actually much healthier because they don’t contain anything that is processed.
Every year my husband gets a cake and icing from scratch. The grated chocolate makes a difference, and per his request, crispy bacon is crumbled on top of dark chocolate ice cream. It ends uip looking like a hot mess, but he loves it. The rule in our family (my mom, dad, husband, and me) is that the birthday person gets whatever cake or pie he/she wants: ice cream, mousse, jam, nut butters, fruit, etc.
I love making cupcakes from scratch! Frosting too!
oh these are quite pretty reminds me of when i used to wear them in high school
If I’m making cupcakes, I make ’em from scratch. 🙂
I have never baked cupcakes from scratch – but it sounds like fun!
I haven’t made cupcakes in years, but cakes yes!
I have baked cupcakes from scratch once. Decorating them turned out to be really difficult so it was the last time I tried that.
These look lovely! Thanks for the chance to win!
I recently tried my first ever cupcakes from scratch using Greek yogurt. I think i could have added more sugar to them. But they were definatly delicious.
I like to think my intuition is very good when it comes to reading people.
There is nothing like sleeping in on a Saturday morning.
These are so pretty! Also, I have to say, Karen, you are doing awesome with your videos! I’m so glad you’ve been posting them. Also, how cute are the Tabs cameos? Haha.
I forgot to answer the other day when you asked me about what I was pining for in the MAC Magnetic Nudes collection. Umm, all the eyeshadows, fluidlines, lipsticks and lipglosses?? Haha. Your post about the lippie combos on release day really sealed the deal for me so I’m waiting on a big haul from MAC to arrive on a UPS truck! (I didn’t want to fight the crowds at the mall.) I saw Sensual Sparks sold out by Friday, too. I’m excited to try Fairly Precious and Autoerotique, too. It’ll be my first EDSF and ED blush! And I’m always a sucker for beautiful fluidlines – cat eyes rule! I’ve been trying to get back into makeup lately because there’s so much beautiful stuff out there right now. Love discovering new products thanks to you! I still need MAC greensmoke and swiss chocolate!
I received Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom for Christmas and I can’t wait to start reading it.
Your last blog post idea just made me realize that I need to add a new desktop to my laptop…so i’m going for something with a fantasy/faraway place kind of vibe. 🙂 Thank you for always cheering everyone’s days with your awesome sense of humor. You have a knack for describing everything with zest and sparkle 🙂
I love baking- but when I’m in a hurry i use boxed cupcake mix and just make homemade icing.

What’s a book you have on your to-read list?

Love cupcakes, but cant make them 🙁
These glosses look so sparkly!
I am a super shy person! I only have one friend because of it. I try to give people a chance, so I thought I’d spark a conversation first. But as soon as I open up my mouth, stupidness comes out and I automatically freeze up and disappear lol. Honestly, I’m like that because I never had any friends growing up. I was THAT fat kid in school and everyone made fun of me. So even now, as a grown woman when someone even talks to me, I end up being clingy. At least in my mind I am like that. I’m a sad case. :[
My daughter does all the baking…yumm. These glosses look so pretty Karen, thanks for the giveaway.
I started baking cupcakes from scratch after I visited Magnolia Bakery in NYC – they were SO delicious! So I found their recipe book and started making a different item anytime I had writer’s block – it always helped!
Would love to win

My desktop wallpaper is my Corgi puppy Boo Boo Bear when he was about 4 1/2 months old. He’s almost 10 months now.
Currently, I’ve been trying to get through a trilogy by William Gibson that starts with the book Pattern Recognition. I read it years ago & I did like it, so I recently plodded through it again so I could read the 2 books that come after it. I only got a bit through the 2nd book, Spook Country, before it had to go back to the library. I’m going to try and pick up a used copy of it and Zero History so I can take my time with reading them.
Looking for new makeup!
My to-read list includes The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim.

My desktop background is a picture from Shuan of the Dead
These keep getting better and better.
I love to bake and cupcakes are my favorite to make.
Pink lemonade is my favorite kind of cake! :]
Love the five homes around the world question! They would be in: Freiburg, Germany, Hawaii, London, St. Lucia, and Sweden. I have never been to the last two places, but I imagine they would be wonderful places to have a home.
If I could have 5 houses around the world and had unlimited funds….
1.Sydney – lower North Shore area of course – somewhere I can see the NYE fireworks from.
2.Yasawa Island chain Fiji – I don’t know which Island gets the best WiFi – but I’d be happy on just about any of them – as long as I had a nice boat to get around in. 🙂
3.Niseko, Japan – hello powder snow!
4.Rome – I love that city – plus – what a great jumping off point to see the Med, Europe, North Africa etc from.
5.San Diego – La Jolla specifically. I want to be able to walk down to the beach and see Sea Lions daily!
I really wanted a few more on the list… I’d settle for just one more in Mauritius though!

my desktop background is a picture from one of my favorite movies, Juice.

I love my desktop wallpaper! It is a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon and inside the ribbon is a collage of the wonderful friends i met through breast cancer patients’ support groups. I look at the pics of their happy smiling laughing faces whenever i need a little support or to remember how fortunate and blessed i, and many of those beautiful friends, really are.
Ooh the 5 houses question is such a good one, Karen! I think I’d go with
– The northern Oregon coast. My parents built a home there in the past and I would adore owning something with an ocean view a
Oops– posted that before I meant to :p (talk about talent)
I meant to say I’d love to own an ocean view in Oregon again
–then I’d love a house in the Cotswolds or the lake district in England. Nothing too grand or with too much land, but comfy and a lovely country place to escape to.
— one home would have to be a faaaaabulous apartment in a great city, which leaves lots of options… I would probably opt for London or New York. So much great theater, ballet, art, and museums. Oh and um SHOPPING. Yes. Definitely shopping.
— then there’s wanting something exotic and dramatic. I’m not much for going to the beach ( I’m the definition of Paley McPaleperson) but having a tropical place with a pool to escape to in the middle of icky winter slush is a lovely notion.
— lastly, well, where I live, Ohio, is home. My best friend lives in Texas, but the rest of who and w
My laptop desktop changes every few minutes.

I’m about to read Allegiant, the last in the Divergent series.
My favorite purse up until recently was this beautiful green bag I got from modcloth.com. It was huge and less than $40 when I got it on sale. It served me well for over a year, but the clasp recently broke on it in a way that I can’t fix. I’ve been looking for my new favorite purse ever since and have always loved the white and grey pattern on those LV purses 🙂
yea, the cupcakes from scratch didn’t turn out so well. I’m going to try again but with nutella this time!
I should read a funny book next.

I bake from scratch every time I bake. I have a “rule”: I’ll only buy something if I can’t make it myself. Pretty much I only buy cookies. I don’t know what it is about cookies, but I’m bad at making those. Everything else, I can do!
The next book I need to read is What to Expect When You Are Expecting!! Me and my husband are thrilled:)

I try to make cupcakes from scratch as much as possible, but there’s also nothing wrong with a good ol’ box mix!
Reading people – I’m really good at it sometimes, but other times… not so much!
I just ordered this book called “Eat Your Feelings: Recipes for Self Loathing”. I read a preview of it and about died laughing but was also interested in the recipes so I’m SUPER excited about it. Of course Hunger Games, Divergent series, and the rest of Beautiful Creatures are also on my reading list. I’ll also read some law and theology books. Ya know, the usual stuff! 🙂
First of all, I love your blog comment ideas/prompts!

Homes around the world would be Hawaii, Edinburgh, London, Italy on the Amalfi coast, and Maine. If only I had unlimited funds 🙂
The best place to get something done in my home is in the office. I watch tv, pay bills, email friends, etc. in this room as well as wrap gifts, do puzzles and just relax.

My desktop background is a picture of the SF Bay Bridge and skyline at dusk that I took while on a boat (for a dance) back in 2010! It’s my favorite because I managed to capture a decent picture on my measly point-and-shoot camera despite the boat’s rocking and moving. My only gripe is that I didn’t get the very tip of the TransAmerica tower in the shot ARGH!
I have one of these lippies and I love it. I would love to try the other colors.
I feel like poo! I think I caught a touch of the flu!
