Here are some pics of cupcakes we have done for Wedding recently :)  

 

♥ Name: Cyndi
♥ Age: 25
♥ Location: Sydney, Australia
♥ Your cupcake history: I've always enjoyed baking, but it's only been in the last 2 years that I've really gotten into it, and cupcakes in particular. I'm a bit anal about my cupcakes, and a bit of a perfectionist, especially with the icing, so I tend to bake as a solitary thing, and don't like when people try to help me, LoL!
♥ Why you like cupcakes: I'm a sweet addict, and I love the combination of cake and frosting. I work as a nanny, so it's a great project you can do with kids (although I will never eat anything a kid makes...) I'm well known for my cupcakes in my circle of friends, and if I'm organising a party, everyone expects there to be cupcakes there!
♥ Anything to share?: Here are some pictures of things I have made. I'm limited to things that I have pictures of on my facebook, as I am overseas!



I am *famous* for my Raspberry Swirled Vanilla cupcakes with White Chocolate frosting. The secret is that they actually come out of a box, and I haven't been able to find anything that replicated the frosting so well!

♥ Name: Suzie
♥ Age: 42
♥ Location: Ontario, Canada
♥ Your cupcake history: I remember my mother making cupcakes when I was a child. They were always my favourite things because it was like having my own little cake that I didn't have to share. And many times she'd let me decorate it.
♥ Why you like cupcakes: They're very versatile. And they're not as childish as they were when I was little. You can do so much with them, and can make it look classy as well.
♥ Anything to share?: Not at this time, sorry. I'm not home at the moment, but if I do find recipes or anything I'll definitely post them! Nice to meet you all!

Has any experienced intense vaginal itch that lasted several weeks? I'm talking the kind that keeps me bedridden.  I'm on diflucan, though my yeast is gone, and heavy does of steroids I just started.  All tests, except yeast, came back negative. I'm 49, hormonal/perimenopausal and in terrible pain.  I'm using vagisil and linocane for the itch.  I'm terrified this itch will never go away.

Does anyone have any real evidence that augmentin -an antibiotic i have to take for 11 days, really does decrease the effectiveness of my birth control? Ive seen quite a few people post answers saying that most antibiotics dont really effect birthcontrol..

I have a 2000 mkIV Jetta VR6. (I think it's the GLS, not the GLX.)
I've had it for about 2.5 years. It has nearly 150k miles and runs great in all weather. Bought it with 125k in Littleton, CO, with the help of my dad in Denver. I live in Lincoln, NE.

Over the past couple years I've had to clean the battery cable clamps, change a headlamp bulb and taillight bulbs.. Currently I have an issue with the parking brake freezing in cold weather, rear brake pads need replacing, windshield washer jets need de-clogging, and headlamp lenses may need 'sanding.'

Minor maintenance stuff aside, lately I've been thinking about a few parts changes/upgrades to my car.

( Questions, Ideas… )

Kurt Tweeted about a necklace he is going to do with ArtStar for Valentine's day, anyone else jumping around excited for this as I am? I love my Firefly one, and can't wait for another!!

Any Ideas on what it could be?!

Anyone have any more information about this? I've been wondering about this for about a year now. I got off the pill for about 4 months and my sex drive still did not return. I talked to my doctor about this and she said there was no evidence of the pill causing prolonged libido problems after taking it, so I got back on it. This is incredibly frustrating and there really should be more studies involving this. :(

♥ Your cupcake history: I've made and eaten fairy cakes, our mini English equivilent to cupcakes since I was little, they're a party staple! However, these bites never lived up to the cuties I have seen printed on textiles, cups, cushions, like pop art, almost as a brand. The glace cherry topped cupcake was what I soon learned to be an invention of America, a perfect opportunity to have a beautiful cake in a controlled portion, big enough to satisfy and small enough to not allow anyone to share. Being vegan, I headed to babycakes and wholefood market in New York and tried carrot cupcakes. MMMMM. I have since made at home from vegan cupcakes will take over the world rose and pistachio, carrot raisin, vanilla, chocolate, lemon gem, banana split, and intend to make more.
♥ Why you like cupcakes: They're small, cute, allow for creativity, sweet and sweet things satisfy my sweet tooth.
♥ Anything to share?: [cupcake photos, recipes, or other interesting cupcake-related tidbits that you found] Not right now, but check out history of my blog for some photos, and I'll try and upload more.

I don't know if this is just my body being really irregular or what, but i got what i assumed was my period ten days ago, i think on dec 21st, which was more than a week early by my count, and usually i'm around 27 to 30 day girl, so it definately caught me by surprise, normally i wouldn't expect my period until like today. I had pretty regular period like cramps, bright red bleeding, absolutely nothing dark or clotty, the latter of which is more normal for me. it only stuck around for two days. if that. and then disappeared. typically, my periods last between 4 to 6 days.

Now i'm not on any HBC, and the only method we use is withdrawl. my partner and I had sex in the days prior to me getting my 'period'. what i'm worried about is that maybe this was actually implantation bleeding. but everything i've read describes implantation bleeding as very light spotting. I wouldn't describe this as spotting. I don't know whats going on. and to make things worse i woke up this morning with more period like cramps and feeling generally like crap. like i was going to start my period. so now i'm just baffled. although i haven't started yet.

whats going on? oh and just for details once again, i'm 24, not on BC, not using condoms, and wondering if implantation bleeding can be experienced as more than just light spotting. or if my body is just being crazy. i've never been this irregular.

♥ Your cupcake history: Me and cupcakes have a long, loving history
♥ Why you like cupcakes: How can people not enjoy cupcakes? I may not have a sweet tooth, but I love making them for people who do- they're a great way to relax, and coming up with new decorations and flavour combos is always fun- I can't get enough of cupcakes!!
♥ Anything to share?: I managed to find an amazing book written by the owner and makers of cupcakes at The Hummingbird Bakery in London. It's an amazing book, and worth it's weight in gold, even if it is £15.99 (then again I unwittingly bought it about two streets away from said bakery, so that fact probably bumped the price up a little bit)

For the last week or so I have been having these really weird feelings in my lower abdomen/pelvic region. The best way I can describe it is a tightening, then pushing/pulling feeling, and sometimes a slight fluttery feeling. I have had my period since I was 13 and have never had this feeling, so I don't think it's just PMS related. It is not painful in anyway, just really weird. The people I described it to said that's exactly what a baby kicking around feels like. I have had a completely normal 28 day cycle wrt my period since the last time I had sex, and I have ALWAYS, without fail, been completely on schedule as far as my periods go. I had 2 negative pregnancy tests, so I'm pretty positive this isn't a pregnancy. I'm just wondering what else this feeling could be? I don't have insurance, so I don't just wanna go to the doctor if this isn't anything serious at all( and really my only options at this point would be ER/Urgent Care.) Also just FYI I DO NOT cannot stress enough DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT WANT TO BE PREGNANT (so it's really not just wishful thinking/hoping/etc.) I'm just at a loss, because every symptom I google comes up with something pregnancy related.

First, I just wanted to say thank you to those kind ppl who answered my last question. Based on the responses, I have given a lot of thought to getting a VCH piercing. I've done a lot of research and looked at a lot of pictures but I'd like to know what you guys think about it. What was the experience like? Did it enhance your sensitivity? Was it worth the money/trouble? 

Anything you're willing to share about getting your VCH piercing would really go a long way towards helping me make my decision. Thanks so much!

Hey guys. What's your tip of choice to create beautiful swirls of frosting like the cupcakes you see in the supermarket? (Like so: http://agiletools.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/cupcake.jpg). What makes the best icing consistency for said swirls? I've never been able to make a picturesque cupcake, but gosh darnit, tomorrow is the day I will TRY!

 So as posted a while ago I recently found out I have HSV. What I need to know is that, generally, are sores kind of roundish?
I'm still trying to figure out when I'm having an outbreak and I think I may be having one now. I have an open cut on my perineum, where sores have happened twice before since I've had HSV.  It looks more like a tear than something that swelled and then opened (as far as I understand this is what happens? something like a blister that then opens up?) .
Basically I don't want to use my Zovirax if this isn't an outbreak, as I cannot afford to misuse it.

Also. There needs to be a facebook version of VP too. All in favor?

I posted a few days ago about getting the depo provera shot a day early. I decided to just reschedule the appointment to tomorrow. I have a new series of questions though. When I get my next shots do I get an examination each time? I should only need the full examination once a year, right? I basically want to know if I should shave my legs in preparation of the stirrups or not. :) Also, do I take a pregnancy test before the shot is given? Thanks!

♥ Your cupcake history: I love baking quirky things. My specialties are red velvet cake, cookie cake, and themed cupcakes/cookies : ) 
♥ Why you like cupcakes: As far as eating goes, I love licking the frosting off of the top and then eating the moist cupcake top : ) As far as decorating goes, they're so fun and versatile -- I love using different kind of candies to make eyes and noses : ) 
♥ Anything to share?: Not cupcake-wise, but I do have a picture of my famous ninja turtle cookies!



This was before I invested in decorating tips, so they're not perfect.. still cute though!

Ok, so, I'm desperately in need of some advice/opinions, whatever.

So, I was stupid. I had unprotected sex on the 20th, 22nd, and the 23rd of December. I wasn't on birth control at the time. My period is due any time now (it usually gets here around the last week of the month). I went to the local health department and took a pregnancy test which was negative. They said that if I don't get my period in the next two weeks that I should take another. What are the chances that it was too soon to register on the stick if I am pregnant? Has anyone had this happen?

Also, they said I have a UTI, but I don't have any of the usual symptoms (and I've had a UTI before) however my vag feels sore and kinda irritated. Like when you have rough sex with no lubrication. But it's been days and we didn't have rough or unlubricated sex so it doesn't make any sense. Is soreness a rare UTI symptom or could I possibly have something else? Please give me some peace of mind here; I'm going crazy.

Oh, and I don't know if this matters but I'm 19. Thanks in advance!

Just wondering... So people say that eating fruits, especially pineapples, can make you taste sweeter, thus probably making oral sex more enjoyable. (I say "probably" 'cause I haven't tried it yet; haven't received it, haven't given it. But I'm pretty sure you can cross that "probably" out of the sentence...) Anyway, I was just wondering: how long before having said sex should you have eaten the "sweeteners"?

Oh, and other than pineapples: any other suggestions that can have the same sweetening effect? I myself love pineapples, so it won't be any problem incorporating them into my diet, but I'd like to have a wider variety of options... I know alcohol, caffeine and asparagus are big no-nos.

Thanks in advance, as always.

i love making cupcakes. i made these for our annual pumpkin carving party. i make my cupcakes from scratch and love to experiment. i just love cupcakes.
