blogs, and they are seriously starting to depress me.

Am I the only bride in the world who doesn't have my own silkscreen business?

Margarita Cupcakes

I made these ones just for Cinco de Mayo kicks, thinking they would be too summery for an October wedding, and they turned out pretty darn delicious.

My charming fiance kindly pointed out that "you're a Mexican, so you can have margaritas whenever you want", and my brother's friend described it as "the kind of cupcake you would eat in heaven" and then ate three.

Great Success!

Love,

Fun Fact

When I attempt to "post via email" it shows up in the archives in 1970. I promise those cupcakes aren't 41 years old.
