Hack a Cupcake

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Cupcake1 Cupcake2This might be an old trick to some but I just saw it for the first time today. Thank you Grace!

  1. Take a cupcake
  2. Remove the paper
  3. Break off the bottom of the cupcake
  4. Press the bottom onto the top of the frosting to make a sandwich.

Voila! Much easier to eat and stay clean. It’s genius!

Kind of like a Whoopie Pie really. Why didn’t Grace show me this years ago?

Maple Syrup Season

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Maine Maple Syrup photo
I noticed on my drive to work this week that many maple trees have been tapped for the season. The sap is running! It’s maple syrup season in Maine.

I love Maine maple syrup. I know that Vermont claims the title and theirs is very good. But Maine’s syrup is just a bit better. And I think I can taste the difference! :) Easter Sunday is Maine Maple Sunday. Because of Easter, some sap houses may not be open. But I encourage you to find your local sap house, check their schedule and go visit. Buy some pure gold Maine maple syrup and plan on pancakes real soon! I know I am!
