I feel like I’ve had cupcakes coming out of my ears lately. I probably have. But there are worse things, right?
Friends… we need to talk. It’s about me, and how I need a vacation. And how I’m actually taking a small vacation, making my July 4th weekend extra long and glorious. There will be a pool, a bikini, sunglasses and… mojitos. I’ll take pictures and share, promise.

Please allow me to leave you with these double chocolate and bright red velvet cupcakes. Take good care of them while I’m gone.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Don’t eat anything I wouldn’t eat…

There can never be too many cupcakes, or can there?
In any case, they look absolutely marvelous! Have a great long weekend!

Have a great vacation Joy! I did another ode to you on my post to thank you for the great pick me up package! And by golly, if it kills me, I’m going to learn how to decorate cupcakes half as good as you! Happy 4th!

Joy, enjoy your well-deserved holiday. I love reading your blog and am waiting for the time that I can get on my broomstick and come to you or you can teleport cupcakes to Oregon. YUM. Thank you.
