LadyBug Cake Bites

Pin It

These are cute as a bug’s ear!

Wait, do bugs even have ears? Hardly. When you think of a bug’s ear, do you think “cute”? Again, hardly. Not sure what was going on when someone dreamed up that expression – but I totally dig it. It’s “cute”…

Anywho,

I made these bugs, let me re-phrase – LADY Bugs (much classier) -  a couple weeks ago and I’ve been super pumped to show you. I hope you like. I do.

Grad-u-a-tion

Warm weather – F I N A L L Y.

This warmness also means…

Most colleges are out of school. Highschool is almost out. Basically, graduations are happening and then long hail summer!!!

I’m really, really wishing I was freed from any and all responsibilities for a few months. Like many grads.  Just a few months. I could deal with that. Call off all routine. Lazy summer days…

Dream on. 

Are you attending any grad partys? Throwing a grad party? Graduating yourself?

I have a few really cute ideas for you and then… please – resume with your lazy summer days.

Margarita Cheesecake with Sea Salt

Things I’m digging:

1. Living my life like Julia Robert’s in “Eat, Pray, Love”. I’m totally down with gaining 10 lbs. in Italy, exploring the world, you know?

2. Weather warm enough to walk around in sandals. Bring on the heat! I promise I’ll never complain about being hot again, ever.

3. Reminiscing with my bestie over boys, school, and random drama from 10 years ago - while eating chips and salsa.

4. Margarita Cheesecake garnished with Sea Salt. Oh, did I mention, no baking req’d?! True story.

p.s. Happy Cinco De Mayo! Did you see my other Cinco ideas? They’re HERE

The Club.

I have all of these plum-filled visions in my mind.
I’ve been googly eyed over so many recipes lateley! I’m tempted to make all of them.
I just can’t decide what to make first.
Where am I going with this?
Well, my friends. Recently, I have asked a bunch of you to join the Club.
I want you to do the tempting. Fulfull these plum visions of mine.
How, you ask?
With the  “Make Our Ad” Recipe Contest.  
Here’s how it goes:
Whip up your rad recipe.
(Yes, I just said rad)
Brag about it, take a picture of it, send it to me.
1 click here.  2 sign up. 3 get the deets via email.
And maybe, just maybe, you could win some pretty fab-u things…
*cough* free candiquik for a year *cough*
*aaand, the winning recipe – and its submitter’s name! – will be featured in an upcoming fall National CANDIQUIK ad!*
So, I’m basically trying to tell ask you to JOIN.
If I can’t convince you, it’s alright. Really.
I’m flexible about all of this, and even have a backup plan in case no one ends up wanting to participate. ;)
Talk soon!

Sincerely,

Miss CANDIQUIK

Cinco Ways to Celebrate the Month De Mayo

[pinit]

 Do you remember 2010′s “CINCO WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE MONTH DE MAYO”?

 Probably not. I think the only person reading a year ago was my mother. Ha.

 But that’s beside the point. As of 2011, my blog has been up for just over a year!

 woot-woot!

 

I want to thank everyone

(mom)

who stops by

for a few minutes in their day

to read about my sugar addiction! 

 Today I bring you the second annual

Cinco ways de 2011:

Jalapeño Cake Bites

  How to Make a Pinata!

 Choco-Tacos

Sombrero Cookies

and Fiesta Peppers!

First things first – Cake!

I found out that the real-deal, a.k.a. jalapeños dipped in vanilla candiquik, were only for a select few - maybe you!? If so, we’ll discuss that soon, real soon.
