My baby boy, Miles, turned 1 year old yesterday. I can hardly believe it. He’s been the sweetest, most easy-going baby I’ve dealt with so far. His only problem is that he still only has two teeth. I’ve been reluctant to try too many different foods, like the chewier or harder kinds, because of this. [...]
With all the excitement I’ve had receiving entries for my Mystery Box Cupcake Challenge, I had forgotten that I wanted to post about the peanut butter cupcakes with white chocolate frosting that I had made last week! I got the inspiration for these cupcakes when I made these peanut butter cookies and added white chocolate [...]
My family and I have relatively recently moved back to Sydney, Australia from Indiana, USA. There were many reasons why we were looking forward to moving back. And one giant reason why we were not looking forward to moving back – 3 flights with 3 young children, including a 3-month-old baby! We went alright though, [...]
A big thank you goes out to Cupcakes Take The Cake, where Rachel linked to my latest cupcake creation on Flickr, banana coconut cupcakes with creme fraiche frosting and coconut caramel sauce. I thought I’d better get the recipe for these awesome cupcakes on my blog so that all the visitors from CTTC can make [...]

I loved this competition – I competed in 12 of them (I even won one!) and felt that I really challenged myself to come up with something unique each month. I couldn’t [...]
I take my 4-year-old daughter to ballet classes on Tuesdays. She really enjoys it and has made a new friend in her class. It’s neat to see her perform some of the poses at home – one day she did a plie. Ballet term 2 is now starting after a 2-week long Easter holiday, and [...]
Recently I was emailed by Lisa Orgler of The Lunch Box Project; she is a wonderful artist that I am very fond of and she is drawing green tea foods for the month of March. I was delighted that she contacted me and asked if she could draw my matcha strawberry cupcake, which is one [...]
Shortly before I left the US I got really interested in loose leaf teas. I had entered a Twitter contest that Rishi Tea was hosting and won a big tin of Earl Gray Lavender tea. It smelled and tasted fantastic and I often replaced my morning cup of coffee with this tea. I still had [...]

Babies are cute. I oughta know, I’ve had three of them. My latest installment was a baby boy, six months ago. His name is Miles. He’s been the sweetest, cutest and most patient of my three. He smiles and giggles at anything and sleeps mostly through the night. You couldn’t ask for much more out [...]
