I don’t like Valentine’s Day. But admittedly, I’m a Grinch when it comes to all holidays. I try to avoid them in general. In college, V-Day was about a production of the Vagina Monologues, cookies shaped like lady parts and ending violence against women. Later it was replaced with large gatherings food and friendship sans … Continue reading

Mmmm…oozy & boozy
Boozy baking is everywhere! My momma had a birthday on Saturday and there was an absurd amount of baking to commemorate her awesomeness.

Game Day Cupcakes
The Superbowl is one of my favorite holidays, after St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and the Fourth of July (which I love more for the fireworks and cookouts than the patriotism, I think). It’s also a great excuse to make boozy cupcakes and feed them to friends. Game day cupcakes should definitely be beer-based, so I … Continue reading

Ode to D10tion
Disaronno & Ginger Ale Cupcakes My contribution to my house senior year of college was a bar. It flipped. It folded. It fit it the back of a VW Golf. I built it myself.

We also love bubbles…
In addition to suggesting you pour beer into your cupcake batter, we may also suggest you start consuming more bubbly beverages in general. We love Prosecco (and yes, you can pour that into your batter, too. Just not the same batter as the beer went into, please). And we really love Soda Stream seltzer makers. … Continue reading
