I see you little guys with your beady little eyes, sizing me up. You think you're soooo tough because you were just in a 400 degree oven and barely broke a sweat but let me tell you something: I could fit two of you in my mouth at once.

It's almost Spring, right? Why else would they be cranking up the air conditioning in here? It must be because we're expecting lots of flowers and sunshine and warm breezes, yes? This chance to use my office Snuggie must be a sign of good times ahead. More flowery cupcakes please.

Elephant, thank you for making me such a delicious and beautiful meal! You sure are talented and precise with that big trunk of yours. How you managed to carve a self-portrait out of cheese, I'll never know!

These horses are adorable but they raise so very many questions! Why do some of them have big red lips? Why are they wearing thong underwear? And why does that one horse but have a jockey cap on? Horses: mystery of the racetrack!

Sometimes you really want fries, but you also really want something sweet, but you don't want a Wendy's frosty. WHAT TO DO?

Are these adorable pets from something? A TV show? a movie? A series of books? Wherever they are from, they are pretty much the cutest lil fuzzy wuzzies EVER!

I'm not much of a baker. I get intimidated by the exactness of measurements and ratios and temperatures and timing so my lovely Kitchen Aid mixer stands unused like a really fancy decoration in my kitchen. That is, until I made my first batch of muffins! Muffins are so easy! They take almost no work and I can practically make them with my eyes closed! Strawberries are in season, I think this will be my new favorite.

Hey bird! Why are you sleeping on my cake? I mean, you coordinate with it quite well and all but this isn't a nest, it's a dessert! You can't sleep here, you just can't. You're welcome to come to the party, just stay off the food okay?

Next time I throw a karaoke party I know what I'm making!

I've had a photo of bird shaped cookies on my computer desktop for approximately a skrillion years now. These cupcakes win. The home decor inspired use of a floral with polka dots is genius! In fact, I may use this as inspiration to redecorate my home. Cupcakes, you win!

I love the motif of kind of spiky flowers like this on baked goods. It contrasts nicely with the soft roundness of the cake itself, don't you think? I don't know much about flowers but I bet you guys do; are there real life spiky flowers like that out in the wild?

This charming confection was used as a groom's cake at what was undoubtedly an amazing wedding. Anyone who can weather a cluster-cuss with the grace of the foxes is tops in my book!

Obviously what this lunch is missing is eggs! but don't waste your food by throwing it at those pigs over there.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Thursday! I love green, I love Ireland, I love foods that get all dressed up for the holidays! I'll be regaling you with all the best goodies coming through the tubes this week to help celebrate.

First, plaid! Better get out your tartans and get spiffy!

I know I just featured some pancake art by Jenni Price the other day but I seriously cannot get over her work! Astounding, incredible, genius! Hey Jenni, if you're ever in Seattle we should get you on here for reals!

I've always wanted to nibble on Rowlf's tender, floppy ears. You don't think he'd mind do you?
