The Story: When people flip through the pages of my cookbook, they comment on the photos, the creative recipes and the work that must have gone into it.

Strawberry Colada Cupcakes
The Story: As an official 23-year-old I thought I was all grown up and too good for sunscreen. Yes, me and my ghostly pale skin. So there I was on the beaches of San Diego basking in the sunlight with no protection. A light breeze, the surfer boys running by in their wetsuits and the…
“So What? I’m Single.” Cupcakes
The Story: There are about 10 copies of my cookbook floating around out there. I had one in my hands only for 48 hours and then I had to give it back. My publishers sent advanced copies to media outlets to get things like interviews and TV appearances rolling. So I have been called up…

Red Velvet Cupcakes
The Story: Alright, alright I here ya! You all wanted a Red Velvet recipe, well here you go! Why do I never make it? Because I’m allergic to it. And if I can’t eat it and taste and sample as I go, why would I make it? 🙂 So to make up for me being…
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
The Story: I know what you’re thinking, “Peanut Butter and Chocolate has already been done Lizzy, get creative!” Yes, it’s been done.
