What makes a good day?

It starts with waking up late...then deciding some new cupcakes need to be made

On today's menu: Orange cupcakes with Orange Almond Frosting. A...YUM!!

Zesting the oranges

The glorious smelling batter

Were ready to bake!

Now for the candied oranges

It wouldn't be a baking day with out some lovely holiday tunes!

The trick to candied oranges, lemons, etc is putting them in an ice bath

Perfect! Round and browned!

Candied.

The baker: yours truly

Frosted with almonds on the edges. (I decided against the candied oranges because they were taking forever!)

With chocolate shavings. :)

Now to finish the night. Ski photo shoot with the friends. And horrible make-up.

Drop Dead Gorgeous suits. Many thanks to dear Mother Teresa and Papa Jeff.

Yes, we look good. Don't hate us cause you ain't us!!

Sid went Asian a-wall on us and flipped a peace sign.

Lindsay: Getting down with the ski

Sidney: She went the most crazy with her make-up and it shows!

And last but not least C'est moi! Question of the night: Do these pants make me look fat?!? If they do or don't you will be seeing them on the slopes this year. Look out.

 

Unfortunately the cake of the cupcake was not the best recipe to follow. The frosting on the other hand was definitely not garbage, it was heaven! The rest of the night consisted of baby cones at Charley's Ice Cream, running out of Kohl's after playing in the make-up section, and a good ol' ski fashion photo shoot.
