Heavenly Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

I've started a couple of new chapters in my life recently. My boyfriend and I moved into an awesome new place, and I got a new job that requires a month of training in Montreal. Just as soon as I get comfortable in the new casa, I had to get shipped out to la Belle Province.


Obviously to celebrate these milestones, I threw a shin dig. Complete with Party Punch served in an industrial-sized bucket with tap (made with literally every possible kind of alcohol known to mankind), and cupcakes!


These cupcakes were Cookies and Cream made with Oreos. I basically just made a super-moist, creamy vanilla cupcakes, added broken Oreo bits, and had a whole Oreo sitting on the bottom. For the icing, I made my favourite- Vanilla Cream-cheese, with more Oreos on top.

My friend Christine's mom, Terri bought me a whole ton of these adorable, colourful liners. Really punches up my black and white cupcakes!


It looks like the cupcakes and punch were a hit.


All this Oreo talk got me missing this little nugget!

An Emotional tale of Pug Cakes

Lately I’ve been really missing having a furry, four-legged friend around. I miss the enthusiastic greeting I received when I walked through the front door. It made me feel as if I was the most important person in the world. I miss all the cuddles I’d get when I was feeling sad. I never felt lonely with her around! Most of all, I miss the unconditional love that me and that tiny little creature shared.


I have a little brother, named Pug. And since this kid at times can be charming or something, my family has always had a love affair with Pug dogs. So when/if I’m ever ready to love another dog again, it is going to be a Pug named Bryan.


Since lack of finances/rock star lifestyle can get in the way of this endeavor, I suppose for now, cupcakes will have to do. Which I guess, isn’t so bad!
