sugar overload

So I haven't had the time to make the crepes yet but they will be here this week, I promise! But I have made other delicious things instead...

This past weekend, Kendra and Tommy got married! Kendra is my boyfriend's sister for those who don't know. It was a beautiful wedding and was a lot of fun. So for the reception, they decided to have people make a bunch of desserts. I made Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and sprinkles! They were yummy! I was hesitant to try the cream cheese icing but it really didn't taste that much different than regular vanilla icing, but maybe it's just me. They turned out super good though and I got lots of compliments on them.

On a not so cooking note but kinda sorta, I went to Ikea today with Eric, Kendra, Tommy, and their aunt and uncle and their kids and I was in shock and awe. Ikea is probably my new favorite place. If you've ever been there you understand, and if you haven't been, go now. I found my dream kitchen with everything thing I've ever wanted. It had a gas stove with 6 burners. A sink in the huge island that had a breakfast bar. A double door fridge. Lots of counter space. A walk is pantry bigger than my closet. The cabinets and the countertops were made of beautiful marble. Oh I was in love. I probably won't ever be able to afford anything like that with my oh so high paying teacher salary but hey, a girl can dream.

Again, I promise crepes will be made this week. I have everything I need in the pantry to make them. Until next time..
