The Story: Valentine’s Day is the most entertaining holiday to me. It brings out all types of emotions and strong opinions that we just don’t see at Thanksgiving, Christmas or Halloween. We have the haters, the lovers, the chocolate lovers, and the people who rant about commercialism. And it can all be seen by the…

Oreo Red Velvet Cupcakes
With this Valentine’s Day recipe comes another dating story… The Story: It was a lunch date. I thought it would be great! Low stress, great food, I was already on campus so it would be easy to meet up, and plus I’m not too much of a night owl. But boy was I wrong. According…
Chocolate Cake Batter Cupcakes
Continuing on with my dating/boy crazy/Valentine’s theme… The Story: I gave him the best flirty eyes I could manage but I don’t think I could cover up the fact that my face was turning beet red. I asked him the basic questions: “What’s your name?” “Where are you from?” “What are you studying?” But I…
Peanut Butter Oreos
It’s coming. The day of roses, red dresses, boxes of chocolate, and way too much PDA. So what do I get to do? Share dating stories without shame. The Story: He put the child-lock on my door. This was no accident either. I understand wanting to open the door for me when I get into…
Salted Chocolate Cupcakes
The Story: I know the grocery stores are already busting out the pink Valentine’s Day cards and candy but I’m still playing Christmas music and watching Christmas movies with hot chocolate on the couch.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes
The Story: Okay, we’ve all done it. We’ve Googled something because we felt left out or perhaps we just felt really stupid. Maybe it was the capital of a state (maybe even our own state). The definition of a word that our professor keeps saying and we’re too embarrassed to ask the guy sitting next…
Halloween Round Up & Candy Bar Cupcakes
The Story: I don’t have a costume, haven’t carved a pumpkin, haven’t bought any candy, didn’t put up any decorations yet, haven’t plunged my head into a tub of water hoping to pull out an apple by my teeth and haven’t had a single piece of candy corn yet. But wow do I have a…
Tombstone Cupcakes
Get whatever flavor you want! You can even get the mint ones and add peppermint extract to the frosting…Mmmm! Using Milanos as gravestones isn’t all that original, but I wanted to dunk mine in chocolate to make them a little more special! 2 years ago I just used Oreo cookies as the gravestones, they’re a…
Pumpkin Butterfinger Cupcakes
The Story: My favorite part about Halloween when I was a kid was not the costumes, not the glitter, not the excuse to wear my mother’s make up, and not walking around in the rain collecting candy (somehow in Oregon it always managed to rain on the 31st). The best part was coming home…
Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
The Story: Halfway through September until Thanksgiving leftovers are finally finished off, crazy people like me find any excuse to practically live off pumpkin everything and anything! Pumpkin bread, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin granola and pumpkin waffles and pancakes are all reasonable meals and snacks. But when November hits, pumpkin pie becomes a suitable lunch and…
Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes
The Story: Sometimes breaking the rules is the best thing you can do. The rules of being single tell me to have a pretty profile picture on facebook, so what do I do? Post a photo of myself after camping for 3 days going cross-eyed. The rules of driving etiquette tell me not to be…
Almond Maraschino Cherry Cupcakes
The Story: I kissed him. Things had been in limbo for too long. He flirts with me, I flirt with him, he sends me texts saying why it would never work out, I know he’s looking for Mrs. Perfect but I can’t help but give it a shot… and back and forth the dating game…
