Baking for Breasts

      Hey everyone! So I really have to admit, I've been slacking on the posts. I mean I say I'm going to post something and think about what I'm going to post, but never get around to doing it, so as of today, I will be dedicating my time and promise to you readers that I will post at least once a week from here on out!

      Anyway, it was quite busy this month for the bakery! While the weather becomes cooler and the leaves change color, the smells of pumpkin spice and cinnamon fill the air. Aside from December, October is one of my favorite months of the year because of the beautiful fall weather and of course, Halloween.

      I love decorating cupcakes with ghouly ghosts and plump pumpkins, but this month I set aside the usual orange frosting for something a little different. After hearing about one of my childhood friend's mother being diagnosed with breast cancer, I decided to 'think pink' and bake for a cause. 
      October is national Breast Cancer Awareness month and what better way to honor close friends and families who have fought this battle with pretty pink cupcakes! I made yummy melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cupcakes, following Hershey's "perfectly chocolate" chocolate cake recipe online. I think they came out fabulous, try it out for yourself, here's the link to the recipe, enjoy!

Here's what I made:

Hope. Fight. Cure.

How does this thing work again?

Hello Fellow Bloggers, Bakers & Cupcake Lovers!

      So I don't exactly know how to work this thing, or how blogs even work for that matter but I guess this will be a learning experience for me (and for those of you who are reading this.. if you're even out there). 

      Any who, I will be blogging for the next year or so about my baking experiences!  I am a senior at Sacred Heart University this year (sad but I will finally have to face the reality that I am going to have to grow up). So what do I want to be after college? Well after handing over all my money to pay for my tuition at a private university, I’m still unsure! 
      I am a media studies major and Spanish and graphic design minor and since I was young, I always wanted to be a design editor making layouts for magazines, but since my freshman year of college I’d bake cupcakes and cakes for my friends and family, and from this I think I have found my true passion in baking! I hope to one-day own my own cupcakery, I have started a little at home business called Simply Irresistible Cupcakes and am using 'word of mouth' to my advantage as my friends and family are spreading the word about my little cupcake business (if you're reading this, "Like" my page on Facebook!). 

       Anyway, I have been wanting to make a blog for a while now, chronicling my struggles and successes of being an aspiring baker, but I never had the push I needed to start one because I am a HUGE procrastinator, but I mean, better late than never, right? I am using this blog as a part of my senior project as well, so hopefully I won't mess anything up, except for the kitchen of course. I hope this blog will make you smile, laugh, and crave cupcakes! So here it goes, my journey as an aspiring baker :)

Irresistibly Yours,

Venithda
