100th post, cupcakes and a giveaway!
First of all I wish I could make these photo's bigger! I've played around with it, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?
I went a little cupcake crazy this weekend. When you have a craving, you sometimes always must obey and vanilla cupcakes were calling my name. It has to be the sweet icing, crumbly cake... there's no resisting and who can pass up a cute little cupcake? Not me.
Since this is my 100th post, I couldn't do it with out doing a little something special for all you readers. So I present my very first giveaway! Let's get this started.... leave a comment and pick a number between 1 and 100 and tell me something funny about yourself to win this cute little three pack of vintage fabric button earrings from my shop.
Cupcake Recipe
Vanilla Icing
6 tbsp unsalted butter (rm tempt)
2 cups confectionary sugar (sifted)
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract (or butter-vanilla emulsion. This stuff is thicker and white as to not colour the white icing and smells and tastes amazing!) looks like this.
Find the cake recipe here.
PS. I will post the winner in the next week. Good luck!

I hope that helps!
My number will be 44, and my "something about myself," is that I've only just begun to enjoy olives. Don't know what changed, but I love them now, whereas before I couldn't stand them!
number 23 & funny..I don't eat anything I bake..that's probably just weird :)
number 1, coz my birth date :D
funny - I am a dork! isn't that funny by itself?!
Pic size: if you are uploading thru blogger, search of the phrase "/s320" and make it "/s800"
I will pick #66, I think I will look great in those earring!! Chuck :)
#79. And for as much as I like Edward, I was always more partial to Jasper. :>
Thanks for all the photo sizing help, I'm gonna get on that!
#62 : I keep my baking a secret from my students and most colleagues because I don't want to come across as domestic. I've been told that's funny...
I pick 11 and I'm funny in that I can't have things pointed at me or I got nuts...not even a straw from across the table!
In order to get my pictures bigger, I upload everything to www.photobucket.com on the largest size setting and then use their html links to include photos in my posts. Let me know if that helps!
My favorite number is 4 and something funny about me is that I hate feet. It's a serious phobia. I can't have someone else's feet anywhere near me. It's bad news :)
my fave number is 88-- it's super good luck in chinese. your vintage button earrings are lovely!!
a funny thing about myself: i make and bake everything from scratch yet i still LOVE prepackaged rice krispie squares, and currently i am rummaging my house to see where my husband hid them from me. i asked him to hide them. but now i want to find them.. haha...
Have a great day!
