I don’t like to use cake mixes because, for one, they use a lot of genetically modified foods in them and I just am not comfortable with that. I mean, glowing in the dark would be cool and all but I am afraid of growing an extra foot. My mouth might not be able to […]

I burn chocolate scented candles, and I raise chickens […]

You know how sometimes you get an idea in your head and it sits there, nagging at you, for days on end? Is there an easier recipe than a cupcake recipe? Well I started thinking about the best peanut butter cupcakes in the universe a few weeks ago and I could not let them […]

Chocolate cupcakes are the best. Dark chocolate cupcakes are better.
