Miss me?

I've moved over to this piece of the web.

Jesus Does

Country music has always been my true love. I am growing more open to what I listen to, but I ALWAYS come back. So here is a little Eric Church to make your life better:)

Lots of ♥,

Rapunzel is back!

I have not fallen off of a cliff, gotten lost in a forest, or had anything too terribly bad happen to me, all though I have been MIA in the blog world.

But look what I've done!

I've became a cupcake chief!  These are chocolate cake, with cream cheese frosting, a red sugar heart (which I made my self with a little Pintrest inspiration), and a raspberry Hershey's kiss inside. This little project was for a neighbor's wedding, so aside from being extremely fun, I got paid to make these. I would consider it the best way to make money in the world...cash for creativity!

Cream Cheese Frosting:

Ingredients:

-1 cup butter softened

-16 ounces cream cheese softened

-8 cups sifted confectioners sugar (about 2 lbs)

- 2 T Milk (I would start out with one and add the other if needed. It works better for cupcakes if it thick)

- 1 T orange juice (I just use a little concentrate out of my freezer, sometimes I add a little vanilla instead)

- 1 t orange zest…I never actually do this part:)

Makes about 5 ½ cups icing. Good for 24ish cupcakes

Instructions

In a medium mixer bowel, cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add sugar one cup at a time and milk. Mix well. Beat on high until smooth 9only 30 secs to a minute). Thin to ice cake smoother; use full strength for piping borders.

NOTE: DO NOT use LIGHT cream cheese or butter substitute. If margarine is used, icing will be softer.

How to make...
Chocolate cake 

Sugar Hearts

This weekend's project is Lemonade Cupcakes with Raspberry icing! I'm extremely excited...this recipe screams summer!

Lots of ♥,

Rapunzel 

And rain...

Maybe?

Revolution

This reminds me of Les Mis!

Girls Night!

What is the best chick flick ever?

Hmmm...

This is an extremely debatable point, and although it might not be THE best...its defiantly one of them.

And which one would that be?

How about "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend"?

I love this movie for many reasons.

1. It is clean. No " I wish they left this out", or "Maybe we should fast forward through this part?!?"
2. Christopher Gorham is cute.
3. The plot is clever and unique, it's refreshing.
4. It doesn't end how you think it will.
5. You can watch it again... and again... and maybe even again.


Hope you enjoy!

Lots of ♥,

Rapunzel
