Plenty Fish In The Sea: Recap of Cupcake Tuesday!

This weeks cupcake Tuesday was yet another success. My best friend Karina and good friend Monique joined us as we created colorful rainbow fish cupcakes using Rips bite size licorice pieces for the fins, Skittles for the scales, beautifully dyed icing for the foundation, compliments of Sarah (I helped), candy melts to keep the fins in tact, and Reeses Pieces bite size candies for the eyes and lips. While creating these fabulous fish, we laughed hysterically as Molly Shannon acted out the role of Mary Katherine Gallagher  in the 1999 comedy film, Superstar, currently on Netflix. Following the movie we inevitably engaged in innocent girl talk where of course we stumbled upon the topic of men. We have all heard the cliché at some point, "There are plenty of fish in the sea". While it is true that this planet is heavily populated with humans, I believe that saying is just a tad bit played out. Because who truly wants to be with just anyone? I believe the journey of finding that one special somebody begins with getting to know oneself; knowing all the colors of your scales, the depth of your gills, and the strength of your fins. Any who, I'm no relationship guru or an expert on fish. What I do know is that good food and friends are more than enough for me on a Tuesday evening in Newport News, VA. Until next time!

It's Cupcake Tuesday!

Once again it's Cupcake Tuesday and my roommate Sarah and I are preparing to make cupcakes that look like colorful rainbow fish. We will be using skittles to create the rainbow look. Sarah is dying the icing yellow, blue, green, and pink, and my mission today is to find some flat stretchy candy that we can use for fins. Any suggestions? Cupcake Tuesdays are always a great time. Wine, girl talk, and creativity are a great combination. This is also the one day a week my boyfriend and I are forbidden to see one another. He plays NBA 2K and watches Suits with his roommates, while I get a girls night with the ladies. It works out perfectly! Stay tuned to see if our fishes come out as fabulous as the ones below, and who decides to show up this week for Cupcake Tuesday!
