S’mores Whoopie Pies

17 May IMG_20130414_141607

Have you ever watched that show on TLC (or maybe A&E?) about hoarders?

Just like an hour of people being amazed at how much stuff someone can accumulate and fighting with them about how, no, they don’t actually need every newspaper printed since 1989?

Here’s a secret: I can’t bear to watch Hoarders because I’m terrified that I will become/already am one.

Raspberry Rhubarb Pie

Milestones are happening in the Fleur-De-Licious world!  Milestones like the last day of law school class.  And the last finals ever.  And impending real world lawyer jobs.  MOST IMPORTANTLY however, Kate will be moving to Dallas soon, which is where I live, which means that for the first time since graduating high school in 2006…I get to live in the same city as my best friend.  There will be champagne when she gets here.  We are classy ladies.

Swedish Visiting Cake

Oh, man. Last week, you guys.

Forgive our extended absence. It was hard to muster much of a positive attitude with all the crazy happening in the world. Joking about our complete inability to act like adults felt a bit inappropriate.

But! The week ended with a little bit of closure and with some good old fashioned heroics (of the law enforcement as well as normal people type). And now we’ve found some extra brain space to bring you some goodness!

By that I mean, this is Kate. Putting off studying for finals.

A few days ago we had the first Perfect Spring Day of the year in Austin.

The sun was out, but it wasn’t too hot. The wind was blowing, but not too hard. Just the Perfect Spring Day.

Perfect Springs Days fill me with a rush of gratitude. So here are some things I am just super thankful for lately:

Apologies that we’ve fallen into a habit of only posting once every seven days over here.

I had planned on getting this recipe up for you on Friday. And then on Saturday. Obviously, I didn’t succeed.

Wanna know why?

I’m currently suffering from a severe case of The Tomorrows.

Oatmeal Crumb Banana Cake

This post was thiiiiis close to being another edition of “let me tell you all the crazy things that can happen to the brain.”

I have decided not to subject you to this, and for that, you’re welcome.

Instead, let’s talk about the great and honorable intentions I have for spring break.

I always approach breaks from school with faaaar too much ambition.  There is usually a huge gap between what I dream I will accomplish, and what I actually end up doing.  My rough goals for spring break look like this: Continue reading 

Black Pearl Layer Cake

25 Feb IMG_20130224_171243

When you’re a baker, you want to make birthday cakes for everyone.

Seriously. If I could live my life in layer cakes, I would.

Apparently, when you’re a baker, you also assume everyone else has basic baking essentials to make this happen.

As I learned this weekend, they don’t. Seriously.
