Pirates



I mixed cake batter with vanilla frosting to make cake balls :) After I let them cool I dipped them in red chocolate and added white polka dots with candy frosting for bandanas. Quick Tip: Melt the chocolate at 50% strength in the microwave and add vegetable oil for a better consistency.

A day at the Six Man



I have wanted to blog for awhile so I'm actually blogging a couple of things from summer. This past August I went to the six-man tournament with some friends in LA. Although I've lived in Southern California most of my life this was my first time experiencing the Six Man.The costumes were thoughtful and creative, it was fun to see everyone dressed up having a good time. There was plently of partying and beer to keep our group entertained throughout the weekend. While I was there I learned that the tournament is in jeopardy of being shut down completely, hopefully this doesn't happen, it's definitely a fun time. Looking forward to going again next year.

So Obsessed


Because aisles of Gypsy05, Twelth Street St Vincent, and Rebecca Minkoff Dresses instantly puts me in a better mood. 


Organic Crepes


One of my favorite places to go is the La Creperie in Long Beach. I decided to make my own version of one of their desert crepes, Spring Raspberry Pecan Crepes. The recipe is simple and fun to make!  Combine 4 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter to make the batter. Pour 1/4 of a cup onto a well-seasoned skillet set on medium high, rolling the mixture back and forth quickly to cover the surface of the pan thinly. For the topping whip 1 cup of sour cream (I substituted this w/Greek Yogurt) 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
