Happy Birthday to ME! Here are a few of my favorite recipes that would make for a fantastic birthday celebration:
Chocolate Birthday Cake Cupcakes
Gluten Free Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake
Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Cupcakes
Chocolate Cardamom Cupcakes with Cinnamon Orange Buttercream
Salted Caramel and Chocolate Cupcakes
These cupcakes are the best things in existence. They are fantastic, full of amazing chocolaty goodness, and perfect for any birthday celebration. They are the perfect complement to my Vanilla Birthday Cake Cupcakes and the frostings can totally be mix or match depending on the flavor combination you’d like.
Personally I love anything and everything chocolate so these cupcakes were a dream! They are an over the top, perfect to celebrate my birthday cupcake. Typically I have issues with chocolate frosting being too grainy or not tasting chocolaty enough. But I’ve created a fantastic chocolate buttercream that really embraces the chocolate taste. This is my favorite chocolate frosting to date and would go perfectly with just about any cupcake.
If you’re not familiar with my method of icing cupcakes I’ve put together a short tutorial for you. You can find it here. These cupcakes really need no garnish, but to make them a little more fun I’ve sprinkled nonpareils over the top. This creates that perfect birthday look.

Pond turns one year old today! She has come a long way in the last year. We first saw her advertised on the shelter’s website in mid-April. We were moving and we really wanted to adopt a dog once we had bought our house. We never thought she’d still be available after we had moved at the end of May. We went and picked her up five days after we had moved into our house. It was love at first sight! She had a roly-poly belly and gorgeous blue eyes. From the moment we brought her home she has been an amazing dog. Here are some pictures from her first year of life.
