My co-workers are going to kill me! I just got this book for my birthday and I can't WAIT to try every single recipe. The photos by Annabelle Breakey are absolutely gorgeous too. I need to start a vintage bundt pan collection right away.

Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes

On my trip back home from this wedding I stopped by CEVD's cute shop. I gave into temptation and bought a Vosges Chocolate Bacon bar for my "bacon is better on everything" fiance. I was skeptical at first but it was seriously the most amazing chocolate bar I have ever had. This cupcake is my little tribute to that deliciousness. Chocolate Stout cake filled with a chocolate/bacon ganache with chocolate (either dark or milk) chocolate frosting. Diiiiivine.

Sorry for the Polaroids. We are sans camera at the moment since a disastrous tumble in Vegas.

Inspiration to Reality Board

I'm kind of all giddy right now. One of my boards was actually chosen to be the inspiration for a real life photo shoot. I worked SUPER hard on this one so I am beyond happy. Now if only I was actually designing the shoot. That would be killer.

New Friends & Flavors

I'll be adding a couple new flavors to the repertoire. I'm pretty excited about these and I'll have some decadent photos on Monday. If I can keep myself from stuffing them in my face before I get the camera out, that is.

Romeo + Juliet

I was inspired by this home post on Design*Sponge to create a wedding board based upon the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet. My friends and I were pretty much obsessed with this movie in our teens and there might even be photographic evidence of me kissing a movie poster with Leonardo on it. If I was having a Romeo + Juliet wedding I would just get a bunch of those grocery store candles for $1.99 each and maybe a few doves.

Lavender & Sand

Jamie put the idea of lavender in my head and now I just can't get it out! And after seeing this wedding I think I have to have it.

Sweet Tart

This lemon-y blueberry cake looks divine. I love that oversized middle layer.
