Today I made Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese frosting (from Joy the Baker)....yum!!! The cupcakes were just your ordinary cupcake...but with the frosting....SO delicious! And...just so the cupcakes weren't so ordinary, I added several drops of red food coloring. Hope my co-workers like them! Here's the recipe if you want to try it!

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
8oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
4-6 cups powdered sugar
2-4 tablespoons milk, depending on desired consistency
Cream the cream cheese in an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl and add the butter, beating for 1-2 minutes, or until incorporated. Add the brown sugar, pinch of salt and vanilla extract, and beat until incorporated. Turn off mixer and add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Turn the mixer on a low speed so the sugar doesn’t fly out of the bowl. Slowly add more sugar alternately with the milk until you reach your desired consistency
I have fallen in love etsy.com. I've started to check it daily. There's everything from clothes to furniture. Most are handmade and there are quite a few vintage things for sale, as well. I fall in love with different things each day and today it was this card...
I was browsing through some blogs and found what I think Carli will make her bridesmaids wear when she gets married.
Chalkboard Cupboards....what an ADORABLE idea!
