Just a preview...

Because every girl deserves pretty cupcakes on their birthday...




(Check out the box inserts I finally found!!!! :> )

Knock, knock...

The infamous question that night was "Do you want some cake?"...which followed the surprise knock on many people's doors. This was a test-trial cake that I made a few weeks ago. It's a 12 inch, 9 inch, 6 inch tiered cake....a.k.a. a lot of cake for a test trial. What do you do with all that cake, you might ask. You practice driving it around with your partner-in-crime sister and shower the ones you love with yummy cake! Duh! Of course! Let's just say my parents, the local P.D. and many friends had some very yummy cake surprised delivered that evening.

40 great years deserves a great cake!


Congratulations to my "Uncle Bob" for 40 years at his job!

Life can shake and rattle you...but family's stronger than a brick house.

8 pizzas, 1 family, laughs, tears, and a good night for the books....Happy Birthday Dad! <3




...clearly my brother enjoys my pizza!

Because the Coast of Maine is gorgeous no matter what season...


We are official...



This post is big, no, it's huge! I am so excited to share this with everyone that I can't put my thoughts together enough to write this. Let's just start by saying my lawyer friend Pam (yes, that is what I call her) is AMAZING! For my birthday, she purchased the trademark "The Messy Kitchen" for me. It is officially my name. As of April 3, 2011, The Messy Kitchen is mine. This is one of the first steps towards store front.

In case you are wondering what these delectable cupcakes are, I'll tell you. They are vanilla almond cupcakes filled with lemon curd and topped with a whipped creamed frosting. They were a gift to Pam and her lawyer friend who helped with the trademarking. Thank you!!
