Baking Skillz

I decided to bake some cupcakes tonight to get in the baking mode!I got a new cupcake pan and some cute liners at Sur La Table this weekend
I make my own chocolate icing (did you think I would decide to make anything BESIDES chocolate? No-I don’t think so!)
2 bags of Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 stick of butter
(melt butter and chocolate chips together)
1/2 bag of powdered sugar
a little bit of milk
a tbs. of sour cream to make it smooth
beat until smooth….
Here it is all nice and creamy-but still warm. I wanted it a little bit cooler so it
would be easier to work with
So I layed it on top of the icees. This was a MISTAKE!!!! It came out rock hard and I had to warm it up again just to make it work!

Ready for the icing

I obviously need some major work on icing the cupcakes-but the point is they taste SO good!
It looks like poo on top of them…but I promise it’s chocolate! LOL!
(Maybe I shouldn’t have put that thought in ya’lls head!) Oops!
This was the best one I did 🙂
Looks like a little flower
Okay-Now I’ve provided some inspiration! It’s nothing compared to some folks…but I am a work in progress ya’ll!
GO ENTER THE BAKE OFF– YOU WON’T BE SORRY! 🙂
(It has to be something YOU made yourself)

It’s Slurpee season

This weekend has been very chill. Yesterday we went and helped Terence’s parents pack and move some stuff into their new house.

After that we came home, took showers and headed to The Outback to have some dinner and a bloomin onion. Oh those things are one of life’s greatest pleasures!

This afternoon we went out and had brunch at a local restaurant and shopped around a little bit. I am trying to talk Terence into getting a pedicure-tell him there is no SHAME in a man getting a pedi right? Later on I discovered where I sat in the restaurant someone had just placed their chewed gum right under where my rear was sitting! UGH! Terence had to pick gum off my booty and his car before we walked into the store! So mad! Why people…why?

We went to Sur La Table-I love this store-it’s a kitchen paradise! I am thinking for the winner of the BAKE OFF I may go get some goodies from Sur La Table! Stuff like THIS…THIS…or THIS!!! Love it all!
GULP!

This was what I had for brunch today-Yummmm!!!

We had to go into the golf store-he was like a kid in a candy store. Maybe Santa will bring you some new clubs this year honey! LOL!

They have these in the golf store-they were my favorite! They are called Butt Head Covers and they go over your golf clubs! How funny is that?

Bake with Becky

I love to BAKE…
Actually I like to bake more than cook regular food. Why is it after EVERY meal I feel like I need chocolate to complete it? Is there anyone else out there who feels this way-or am I just a chocoholic crazy loon woman with soon to be diabetes because I crave sugar so much…or maybe it’s just the PCOS-whatever…I still crave it!
I baked these last night-Dark chocolate is one of my faves, and it has antioxidants right?
Yes-this is the consistency of my baking…we can’t all be like Summer now can we?

Okay-so now I have a proposition for you all. I want you to “get your bake on with me” and I am going to try to do something fantabulously wonderful “homemade” like with my baking goodness. The lovely Summer and I have been talking about putting together a
BLOG BAKE OFF
tonight I’ll post instructions to her site and everyone can enter a cake/cupcake/bunt/any creative bakery item that YOU made yourself! We are looking for creativity and unique ideas-and the point is to have FUN and experiment! At the end of the contest we will be judging all entries and the winner will get something SUPER FAB! I’m ready to expand my baking skillz–
Hope you all are ready to “Get your BAKE on” with moi!
