Giveaway Reminder: Don’t forget about the fun giveaway going on this week- still time to enter! Go here.
I get a lot of questions from people about freezing cupcakes. Is it possible? Do they taste as good afterwords?
I hear this a lot from those who are planning big events like weddings etc. It’s always nice to get as much work done ahead of time as possible.
Today I was reading through some of my favorite blogs and I came across this great post on freezing cupcakes. They actually recommend freezing the batter! I have never done this but they suggest three different ways to do it. I’m definitely giving it a try next time I make cupcakes, especially when you only really need a dozen but the recipe makes two dozen! A great way to deal with the leftover batter!!
So have you ever tried freezing batter before??

1,600 miles, two books on tape listened to and one book read (Mockingjay) I am home from our trip to Utah. I got my Cafe Rio fix, had a cupcake shake at Sammy’s, a fresh peach shake at Taco Amigo, a slice of chocolate cake from Magleby’s Fresh and had a little shopping trip to Tai Pan. I am a happy woman!
Cali has been safely deposited into her new college apartment and met her new roommates. Her room is unpacked and classes have begun. No matter how many times I do this I still shed a few tears. I miss my kids.
All three of our college age children have gone to our alma mater – BYU in Provo, Utah. I love going back to visit the campus. There is just something about the energy of a college campus. All those young people beginning their lives, deciding what they want to be when they grow up. I wish I could go back again!
I am not a big sports fan but I must admit I do enjoy college sports and cheering for my school’s team. Jim and I had our first date to a BYU football game. In fact, Jim received an airline ticket to Utah for his birthday. He leaves on Friday to attend BYU’s opening season game against University of Washington.
Of course you can’t attend a college football game without decking yourself out in the school colors. That would be blue and white for BYU.
Today’s giveaway is the perfect thing for that next school sports event (although I don’t think I will get my husband to wear one to the BYU football game – but Cali will!)
It is the perfect thing to complete the outfit – a team colored elastic headband from Prettylicious Team Colors.
All you need to do is head on over to Prettylicious etsy shop and see what they have. Then come back here and leave a comment letting us know what color combination you would like! If your school colors are not available, no worries, they are happy to make whatever combination you need.
Prettylicious is the creation of two cousin-in-laws, Tessa and Heather. I love it when family members get together to be creative!
The two of them have always enjoyed crafting and making accessories for themselves, friends and family. Both Heather and Tessa are also big sports fans and can’t help but dress up for games. After they discovered Etsy they decided to give it a try, with the hopes of supporting their crafting addiction:) They started two shops, one a little more formal and trendy (Simply Polished) and the other one (Prettylicious) for the female sports fans out there. So it happened, and they just can’t stop.
Thanks to Tessa and Heather for sponsoring today’s giveaway!
Giveaway is open until Saturday, September 4 at midnight PST.
