Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Almond Frosting

How I love to bake! It's a wonder that Matthew and I don't weigh a tonne each!

This evening I made Vegan Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Almond Frosting. It was my first go with this partially "Melissa Made Up" recipe. So, I only made one batch. This equated to one dozen. Let me just say that a dozen is NOT enough. There are only six left now (It was imperative that we try them at their various stages of completion.), and I am sending Matthew off with two in the morning. One for himself, and one for his friend Kent.

Sigh. . . . It looks as though I shall need to make some more this evening. :-) Otherwise, how will I be able to share them with my folks, some of our neighbour friends, and (hopefully) a visiting out-of-town friend? :->

When I have a moment, I will post the recipe. I'd love to know what you think of these cupcakes as well. Are they really that delicious? Or are Matthew and I just totally mad for almond flavouring? I'd say both. . . .

Shoes for a Cause

Every October for the past sixteen years, QVC has held the FFANY Shoes on Sale® Event. Designers donate thousands of pairs of shoes. All shoes are half off, and the net proceeds go to breast cancer research. How awesome is that?!

Though the actual live event has passed, there are still plenty of shoes to be had online. You should check it out!

So, this is an event that I tune in to every year. I love shoes. :-) This year, I ordered two pair. However, I cannot stop thinking about these. . . .

I wonder though, do they say, "Lady of the evening?"
