Okay, so we started a blog and then promptly abandoned it for, oh, about a year.  We are naughty monsters!

But, we have been baking!

And we have proof.  Behold, a retrospective of what we have been too lazy to post:

I made miniature s’mores cupcakes:

For Christmas I made an assortment of cupcakes (gingerbread, pink peppermint, and s’mores):

For the presidential inauguration, I made some red (velvet), white and blue cupcakes:

And for my second paying cupcake gig, I made miniature flower cupcakes for a co-worker’s daughter’s 3rd birthday:

Begonia Cupcakes

And finally for Easter, some Peeps- and candy egg-topped cupcakes:

Mr. Monster also made some miniature cheesecakes for Easter as well, topped with blueberry and caramel sauces:

And we promise, we will be much better about documenting our concoctions in the future!
