Month: June 2008

Hairy and I are off to Chicago tomorrow early morning to visit my piece in the Sugarcraft show (www.kasiakayartprojects.com) and to also visit another Plushy show opening the same night. We are also going to eat at Moto, which Hairy is real jazzed about. Back Saturday night!!! Bibi is at my mom’s and Bunny is at the Wag Hotel. I miss my babies already.

So I made a Twitter badge while I was on the phone with Manda just now: follow twinkiechan at http://twitter.comdeveloped by korelab I still don’t fully get/embrace Twitter, but I am getting it more and more as more people I actually know are on it. Back to crocheting hats!

So… Elysse graduated this weekend and I wanted to make her vegan cupcakes. After flipping through the cupcake book, we thought that Brain cupcakes would be a good idea. However, this has been a really busy weekend, and I didn’t think we’d have time to bake, so I decided to try to find vegan cupcakes pre-made, scrape off the decorative frosting, and add the brains. We picked up some Black China Bakery cupcakes via Whole Foods, and while Hairy whipped up the vegan buttercream, I carefully scraped off the yucky German chocolate blobs and raspberry creme dollops. Our buttercream recipe did not end up holding up all that well. Hairy tried refrigerating the frosting first before piping the brains on. The first one slid right off the cupcake! And the later ones started melting again! We stuck them in the freezer over night and then hoped they would look semi okay to give to Elysse. Hairy says of one of the cupcakes, “That looks like lungs.” This is your brain on buttercream.
