Cupcake Fun


These are sheep cupcakes I made for my friend Hillary's Bridal Shower. She loves sheep. Their heads are circus peanuts dipped in chocolate and they are covered in coconut for a furry look. Michelle helped me with these. She had oodles of great ideas.


I made this cake for my Mom's birthday (That's my mom on the left). The cupcakes are her dogs Jack and Bella. When I first started the cupacakes i thought they looked more like bears, but they turned out alright.


This is me in Moon over Buffalo. I played Roz Hay and kicked ass!


Here is the cast (The husband is next to me on the right) It was a fabulous show, with hilarious writing and the nicest cast. Can't wait until the cast party!

Fun Pictures

Here are the pictures I've been promising of the candy. Overall I counted about 3000 calories from one week at work. It's mind boggling and also absolutely ridiculous!



This is the full pile that was in my zip lock bag.



Spread out over five days it looks like even more.


Spread out over a day it's not as bad. I usually grab 2 or 3 at  time and then bring them down to my desk to eat. It's not until it's all together (like wrappers in the trash can) that you really notice the amount.

Hiatus

I've been gone for a while. I did however finish my experiment. Wait until you see the pictures! I had over 3,000 calories in the bag! I also lost a lot of weight that week (this could also be because I was sick). I've also been up to some cool food things. I made cupcakes for my friend's bridal shower. They are sheep. Then I made my mother's birthday cake. It has cupcakes on the top of it that look like their dogs Jack and Bella. At work, I've been stashing the majority of the candy that I want to eat in a drawer at work. That is going well. It's the random incidentals that are the problems. I had four cookies today. They were soft and melty. Double chocolate chip. Yummers! I, of course, was then not hungry for lunch, but started to get a headache from the sugar so ate lunch anyways. Tonight we are having pizza. We (My husband and I) are in a show called Moon Over Buffalo. This is show week, so we are out late every night and have no time for dinner. Yesterday we used the slow cooker, that worked well. However tonight we will eat pizza that the Director (my Mother-in-law) is picking up. It will probably be from Nashua House of Pizza and taste spectacular. Well, I'm off to rehearsal (first night of full makeup and costumes). I'll be posting those pictures soon!
