High Heeled Cupcakes

My sister in law, Erica, shared her most recent baking adventure with me last week and I was absolutely excited to share it with you. I asked her to take a picture and she happily obliged.

Behold: cupcakes that are high heels.

How adorable are these?!

Of course, she found these on Pinterest and knew that they would be perfect for the party that her and her friends were hosting. Besides, Erica loves anything and everything involving shoes, so I can say that I was not surprised when I saw this picture and how magnificent and detailed they were. Besides, she's a baking genius!

I think my favorite is the black one with the white piping and the hot pink cupcake liner. Fierce!

If you want to make these yourself - which seeing as how cute they are, I totally recommend it - definitely go out and buy Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh My! from your local bookstore or Amazon.

I own What's New, Cupcake? from the same author and have made a few cupcakes that have been a huge hit, including these adorable Corn on the Cob cupcakes I made last summer.

 

Happy Baking!!

[photoaday] Days 20, 21 & 23

Day 20. Handwriting

People say my handwriting is awesome.

I would agree with them, because I sort of* love myself.

*=completely

In all seriousness, I don't think my handwriting is that great. Now, in high school and college, my handwriting was completely beautiful. I wrote all the time, so I perfected every letter and made a point of taking my time to write. I was told a lot that my handwriting could be a font.

Now that I do all of my work and fun on a computer, my handwriting has suffered. But I still think it's fun, and write any chance I get.

Day 21. A Fave Photo of Me

This is a picture of me getting glammed up before my wedding. My friend Jonny (J Miller Photography) took this picture, and as I mentioned before, he did my entire wedding and is incredibly talented. Go to his website. Book him. Love him.

Back to the picture. Of me. (see above)

I love the focus on my face while the rest is blurry, the way I don't look like Bridezilla (which is how I felt) and just how mostly peaceful the entire setting is (when my insides were jumping).

Also, my hair is FABULOUS. *ahem*

My makeup artist was my amazing, beautiful, talented, hilarious and close friend Cayse. She and I have been friends since high school. As girls and relationships go, things haven't always been smooth between us, and there was those 2 years that I lived 3 hours away, but she and I have gotten close again and I am so grateful. 

She is one of the only people I can really talk to. Not just speak, but talk. I treasure our friendship a lot. <3

She is an Esthetician at a local salon/spa and I think this profession totally suits her. When I got engaged, I knew immediately that I did not trust anyone else with my face besides her. Plus, she knows me and my beauty habits. Read: I have none. I trusted her to make me look hot without making me look like Jersey Shore. She did an amazing job and I love her!

Day 23. My Shoes

I know you're probably thinking, "UM HELLO. You totally forgot #22 and I have been keeping up with this and am really upset that you missed a day and are totally trying to just pass it off like you didn't and now I'm never reading your blog again."

Let me take the time to say I'm sorry for offending you. But come on, you'll be back for more. You love me. Remember? I'm awesome (see above).

I didn't want to take a picture of my work. Mainly, it's just a building. It has windows and a front door that you need an ID to get in. There is no signage on my building. There is no foliage. It really has quite the depressing curb appeal. So I skipped that day. Sue me! (But really don't because I'm low on funds.)

So for day 23, I took a picture of my new pretty Toms. I have wanted a new pair since I got my first ones last fall (the gray classics). These are black and burlap and sexy. My brother calls them hospital slippers. So I guess that makes these sexy hospital slippers? I should market that...

I really do encourage you to go buy a pair of Toms. Or at least read up on the charity. Basically, for every pair bought, they donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. It's a really neat organization and I am happy to do my part, and get a pair of totally sweet shoes in the process.

[photoaday] Day 9: Front Door

HEY!! This post is going to be super-duper lame. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Day 9. Front Door

I have never been so proud of anything in my life.

Not my 2 college degrees.
Not my wedding, which was soaked with my blood, sweat and tears.
Not having a job that provides me with food, water, shelter and safety.

No.

None of those things comes close to the pride I feel with this wreath. Everything I wanted it to look like came true.

Isn't that a great feeling? Imagining something in your mind, willing it to come true, and then not believing your eyes when it ends up better than you even imagined in the first place?

I like to think I am a crafty person. I am the daughter of an artist; a true to life artist. My dad made his living by painting, drawing, graphic designing and yeah, imagining. [Granted, most of his work was incredibly analytical and was mainly for science textbooks, but he is still beyond talented.] I can't draw to save my life. Painting by numbers is my cup of tea. Graphic design would go wonderfully with my advertising degree, but somehow my advisor and I managed to not sign me up for any Photoshop classes. Smart!

But... imagining. I can imagine beautiful things. Interior design, graphics, scrapbook pages, fashion, you name it. I feel like I have a good eye for what is pretty, and also for what could be amazing. But putting it to life, and making something out of my visions? That's damn near impossible.

This wreath turned out to be the best thing that's happened for my psyche in a while. I took an image on Pinterest and turned it into my own design. And it worked! It's beautiful. It's totally me. The colors, the flowers, the simplicity. It just screams my style.

So, you adoring fans you, I suggest you go get some pretty yarn. And a wreath. While you're at it, some funky felt. And your hot glue gun and some scissors to boot.

And stay tuned for my own DIY Wreath post.

And make your own.

You know you wanna.

Keep coming back every day this month to see my #photoaday grow!

J Miller Photography [image heavy]

Hello friends!

I am taking the moment real fast to plug a good friend of mine, Jonny Miller. He is an awesome, hilarious and an all around nice dude.

And he takes some pretty amazing photographs.

We were lucky enough to get his photo-takin' services for our wedding in February of 2010. We were ecstatic given the fact that most of our wedding was handmade, so having talented friends just made the occasion so much more special. Jonny was no exception!

Of course, him being our friend made it incredibly easy for me to feel comfortable with him being in all of my more intimate moments. You know, in my dressing room, in front of me as I walked down the aisle and in my face for the first kiss. But he also just has this naturalness about him, and is so at ease with what he does, I really didn't even notice him!

Jonny has been there for a lot of my moments in the last 2 years. He did our wedding, like I said, but he also took our engagement pictures and most recently a family shoot for my father's Christmas present.

If you have anything coming up in the future, I honestly recommend giving him a call or shooting him an email. He has a Twitter, a Facebook, a blog and of course, a website. I am going to list them below, so please, take a look around at his portfolio and resume. 

He's the bees knees!

Below are some of my favorite memories from my personal collection that Jonny has been gracious enough to preserve forever. Enjoy!
