Hello again friends and hello there September. Here we are, post Labor Day. Kids are back to school, the grapes on my grapevine are starting to turn and the weather is getting a little more brisk. I like it because I can actually sit on the back porch with my laptop without drowning in sweat and getting a nice red sunburn (thanks a ton Ireland for this burn prone skin) So here I am, sitting and reminiscing about summer and all the great cupcakes I’ve made and all the great things that have happened. One of the best things by far happened right at the tail end of the season.
My friend Alex and I attended a Yelp event at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. After this event we were headed over to the Hong Kong for their after party and a couple Scorpion Bowls. Along the way we met a nice guy who offered to take our picture on the event’s ‘red carpet’. He was new to town and needed directions to the closest T stop. We were headed in that direction so we walked over with him. We introduced ourselves to Be and during some small talk along the way he mentioned that he worked for the website How2Heroes and explained to us how they produce and post videos of chefs instructing people how to cook. “Get the hell out of town! (I’ve got such a way with words) I make cupcakes. I even have blog about them!” He had me email my blog to him so he could take a peek. That was that, he got on the T and I secretly thought, I’m not going to hear back but wouldn’t it be cool if I did?!
A few days went by and I got an email from Be asking if I’d be interested in doing a video. I couldn’t believe it. I was super pumped. I was super nervous! Oh my goodness this is the coolest thing ever! A few days later I had a crew of 4 guys in my house, I was hooked up to a microphone and the cameras were rolling. I ended up making the old trusted Irish Carbomb cupcakes since they are such a crowd pleaser. All in all, the shoot went so well. As soon as it’s posted I’ll make sure to post the link and whatnot so you can see me in action!!
So, hopefully this fall will pack in even more excitement. Most people hate the upcoming fall but it’s one of my favorite and most inspiring seasons. I love the colors of the leaves, the hot mulled cider and the pumpkins. Mostly, I love all the cupcake ideas I’m coming up with!! There are so many flavor combinations…cider and spiced rum…pumpkin and spicy cinnamon…sweet potato and marshmallow…oh my gosh my mouth is watering. I better get off the porch and into the kitchen!!
