Hello People!
Sorry I missed a day there. I don’t have a real excuse. May has just been a crazy busy month thus far and I was feeling lazy. I am human after all. A chocolate peanut butter obsessed freak one, but still human. :P

March 13th, 2008
The blog experiment is on a mission to make a cupcake that’s a bit less sweet.
A cupcake that’s less sweet? Poppycock, you think? Well, you non-believer, I’m all for it. Cupcakes are fantastic, but half the time I can’t finish one in a sitting because they’re too sweet. And for how tiny they are, […]
