I had every intention of making these Lime Margarita Cupcakes in honor of Cinco de Mayo but it just didn’t happen.
The recipe is courtesy of Crushcakes… the most amazing little cupcakery here in Santa Barbara. I think they are every bit as good as Sprinkles or at least a close second. I’d leave the tequila out of the frosting though since there’s no cooking involved to get the alcohol out. I do love lime.
If you want a lovely blog to read you should wander over to Paisley Petunia. It’s one of my favorite blogs to read. Really if you decided to read their blog instead of mine I wouldn’t blame you at all.
They are also offering a sweet giveaway just in time for Mother’s Day. (sorry that rhymed). You have till May 8th so go check it out!
A Toronto-based photographer, Moo, took these amazing shots. I found these through another blog/site… but I can’t for the life of me remember where. For more of Moo’s photos go go here. Aren’t they beautiful?
Lisa just posted the most darling illustrations inspired by her baby girl and I had to share them over here. They’re so cute.
I love the last one. They can be found at her Etsy shop.
I really love these sweet little earrings from Mim. They are less the 3 Euros and maybe if I spoke/read French I could figure out how to get them.
Since it seems like all of my Utah friends were at the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point and I was not – I am feeling a little jealous. Try as I might I could not find anything resembling a Tulip Festival in Santa Barbara. Hmpf. So I did the next best thing and searched Flickr and found a lots of tulip goodness. 
Tulips are my most favorite flower. Ever.
Love this blog!
… oh and my work got me the yummiest cake for my birthday. the cake didn’t last long enough to get a picture.
a flash of delight
