I Love Food Gawker...(Made By Girl)

I have to say....I've been in a CRAZY dessert mood lately. Ever feel that way!?!? 

With sites like Food Gawker it's so hard to not CRAVE sweets! My guy is awesome, he loves making me any dessert I like....I'm so blessed in that sense! SO, for this weekend - which will be over 100 degrees here in Las Vegas, I'm in the mood for something chocolate & frozen!! Can't wait! 

How about you? Any particular dessert you crave during the SUMMER heat?!?

If you haven't checked out FoodGawker - take a quick look. Well, quick is an understatement. 

When I go to their site - I end up staying way toooo long. So, watch out, it's ADDICTING if you love food & dessert! 

Don't say I didn't warn you!!!

Rainbow Cupcakes....Clever!

Even though we talk MOSTLY about Interior Design around here,  I love highlighting CREATIVE and innovative things! So, when Shari from Spearmint Baby introduced me to her rainbow cupcakes, I had to post it. Now, this is such a FUN & exciting recipe to put together with KIDS.....even though I don't have any, I'm certain my husband & I will enjoy trying this in our kitchen! For this SUPER COOL recipe and more pics, go here.

Anyone of you ever try to make a rainbow cupcake?

Crumbs Bake Shop....Cosmo Cupcake!

If you're anywhere near West 40th street in New York & looking for a cupcake shop, try Crumbs. I've been hearing only good things about this bake shop. A couple of my friends have been there & have enjoyed the experience of biting into their SUPER moist cupcakes! 

As I've said before, we desperately need a good quality, home-made cupcake shop here in Las Vegas, one that doesn't serve you DRY CUPCAKES!  (Some of you may know which shop I am talking about.....hmmmm).  Anyhow, on my next visit to the NYC, I will make a point to stop at Crumbs & try their Cosmo cupcake. I don't think it has any relation to the actual cosmo drink though....so pretty!

Amy Atlas Delicious DESSERT Tables....

The Amy Atlas team sent over these yummy DESSERT table settings for my readers. I'm sure these tables take quite awhile to set up (as you can see in the behind-the-scenes photos below)...and they appear to pay close attention to detail & colors. How would you like to see this setting at your PARTY?? Amy Atlas is the talented lady behind all these beauties and it's no wonder she is featured in the newest issue of Bride Magazine.  If you'd like to see more of her work, please visit her blog as well. 

Which of these is your FAVORITE Amy Atlas table setting??

Kate, from Centsational Girl  posted a 'DIY Christmas cookies for Chocolate lovers'!  DIY is always a great idea for Holiday parties....you can make them & bring them to an event or just bake them for your family!

Darn, If only you were closer 'M' Cafe...

I have to make sure I make a visit to 'M' Cafe when I'm in Los Angeles next time. It seems this place gets jam-packed from what I heard. I'm not surprised! So gorgeous, in it's inviting European cafe' style setting, offering up YUMMY Patisserie like delicious scones, muffins, cookies, pastries & desserts. This is my kind of place to go to on a Sunday afternoon. Or any day for that matter! Check out their delicious website here.
