Never one to waste a morsel of food – let alone a scrap of tinfoil or a twice-used plastic baggie – I’ve assembled my fair share of “compost” meals: a random amalgam of alien ingredients thrown together so as to stave off a trip to the trash bin.

Perfect Cupcakes Moist, quick, ... - Britely. Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes. There is beauty in the rain. Or in fallen cupcakes. Gravity laughed as my Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake toppled over. Ok only one fell over and I still got my pictures of the finished product, but I thought it was beautiful the way it fell.

Kinda like all the layers slid apart so you could see the individual components. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and appreciate that everything doesn’t go as planned.

People’s eyes always seem to light up whenever the hear the words “red velvet”. And then for those like me, hearing anything having to do with “cream cheese frosting” just seals the deal.
