BLOGher
…my title is referencing the ad campaign right now for Girl Scouts that’s all over busses and things, at least in Boston. It’s pictures of girls doing things like rock climbing or camping or whatever and they say things like TEACHER (basically they’re combining inspiring words with the word her).
So maybe “BLOGher” doesn’t make any sense anyway, but...

Last night's cookies
I have been wanting to make Nutella cookies again, since the first time I made them they were a hit and I do love me some Nutella. And last weekend was World Nutella Day (who decides these things?), so I thought it would be an appropriate time to jump on that bandwagon. Also, I wanted to send a little something special in the mail to a friend of mine for Valentine’s Day. So timing was good...

Second batch: something different + cream cheese...
I somehow picked 2 VERY different tastes in cupcakes. #1 was Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Glaze. Super sweet, made me take out my Almond Milk*
Cupcakes #2 were Banana Cupcakes. Which lead me to a new discovery at the grocery store. A lot of cupcake recipes call for Buttermilk. Whenever I get it, (a lot things I buy are store brand, which I think I’ll talk about...

A night of cupcakes
There is a baby shower at school tomorrow for one of the faculty member’s and I volunteered to make cupcakes. When I signed up I specified that I would make something with cream cheese frosting and another kind. I asked the woman who we’re throwing the shower for (it’s not a surprise) what she liked. She said it didn’t matter what she preferred because she’s not going...

Anonymous asked: Hi Cora,
Q: when someone comments, do only you see it or does everyone else? And do you comment back?
I loved pulling up the archive and looking at all you have posted at once. I love the pictures of your finished products and those along the way ( I am sending the link out to family) - I love the christmas cookie photo - it triggers a yummy christmas feeling! maybe I could use in...

Hello out there: a Thank You and "that's what she...
Recently, I’ve gotten a few out of the blue (and heavily appreciated) comments/messages about my blog. Hearing that people who I’m not expecting to be following along, keep up to date on my baking, leaves me very humbled (I think that’s the word I’m thinking of). So I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for letting me share.
My friend Danielle blogged about...

Chocolate Glaze
The cupcake book that I got last Christmas is really awesome and has very good, clear directions. I highly recommend it. The peanut butter cupcakes were paired with a chocolate glaze which had to be made over the stove.
It involved a couple of ingredients
Vanilla, butter, heavy whipping cream, and of course, milk chocolate. You heat up the cream and butter in a skillet, remove from the heat...

Peanut butter and chocolate for the second time...
They are obviously meant for each other.
Tonight I have an improv show with this group I’m in, Don’t Tell Mimi, which I usually bake for, and it’s Matt’s last show, which is sad, but he got to make the request of what I make, which turned out to be peanut butter cupcakes. I meant to take more pictures along the way and blog about the whole process but I was singing along...
