Panda Watch!

Each time I watch Anchorman, a set of various emotions are stirred up. The most recent time was no exception. I absolutely fell in love with Lin-Wong the panda. The movie inspired me, as it often does, to research these cute and cuddly creatures.

While I knew that these lovable creatures were obviously endangered, it saddened me deeply to find out that there are approximately only 1,600 roaming the earth. It appalled me to find out that bamboo, their main source for food and shelter, is becoming very scarce because humans like us are moving into the bamboo forests.

While there are various options for us to help this cause, I decided to help by building my own pack of pandas.


Unfortunately, we will be back to where we started soon, as these pandas will be eaten.



For more information on the threatened state of these adorable balls of fur, check out the San Diego Zoo website, and be sure to watch the cutest video ever of a panda birthday party!

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!

I Heart Canada

I am proud to be Canadian, and in my mind nothing shows national pride better than beer, fireworks and of course, cupcakes.




Happy Canada Day everyone!!!

Cupcakes!!

For the past two years, anyone that knows me can tell you I have a passion for cupcakes. This borderline obsession started two Christmases ago when my best friend Holly bought me a cupcake decorating book (Hello, Cupcake!). While going through a dark time in my life, I found that the work that went into these colourful creations were able to restore some joy back in my life. Afterall, it’s almost impossible not to smile when cupcakes are around! Cupcakes became my hobby, and I tackled many of the innovative designs in the book, and eventually started experimenting on my own.


Soon after, I began looking for any excuse or occasion to make cupcakes. I thrived on all of the gushing admiration I received for my cakes (I am a Leo, after all). I consider each and every little confection a work of art, and I love making people smile with these creations!
