I love cupcakes... and cake. I love pretty much anything involving chocolate and frosting. I'm the designated baker in my family and group of friends, so I'm always trying to learn new cupcake and cake decorating techniques.

Seems like now that the weather is cold, everywhere I look I see cute animal knit hats!
