So I'm a little late posting this but Dan and I went to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival and here are a couple pics:

The Cakelove Cafe:




And I made Dan eat at this restaurant because it had this horse out front:

It turned out it was more formal that we had thought, and I felt a little underdressed, but they had the best BBQ Pork!!!

Raspberries

best quote ever, i read it online today:

"Raspberries are also big fat liars, because according to Wikipedia, they aren't even berries. How can I trust a fruit to give me delicious goodness when it's totally not being honest to me? Why can't the raspberry be more truthful like an orange?"

Passionfruit Icing

Icing

i really really really want to have an icing party. i have all these recipes for cool icings: grapefruit, banana, PASSIONFRUIT (rachael!). When we were little there was this summer camp thing in our neighborhood and the only thing i remember about it is the one day we got to eat like 5 different colored icings on top of vanilla wafers. probably the best day of my life.

here is the passionfruit icing recipe for rachie:

1 1/4 cups (155g) icing sugar, sifted
10 g unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup (60 ml) passionfruit pulp

Combine the icing sugar, butter and enough passionfruit pulp in a small bowl to make a stiff paste. Stand bowl in a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until the icing is smooth and glossy. Remove the bowl from the heat. Spread the icing over the cake with a flat-bladed knife and allow to set before serving.

Peepcakes

Peeps

pretty much the most awesome cupcakes i've made so far (rachie helped with the sprinkles and with "squishing the peeps in":



MAGICAL:

*this was a stock funfetti mix and icing, it was just colored pink, and I bought the sprinkles at wal mart
