Mmm, mmm, mmm, Manicotti

Casseroles go in an oven, so that’s almost baking… right!?  JK.  In my move to spend more time in the  kitchen and enjoying foods, I came up with a pretty delicious vegan recipe for Manicotti.  I used my mom’s pasta sauce and doctored it with a little smoked paprika.  Join me on bakespace to share this and other recipes!

2011 in review

I  know, the Gimme Dem Cupcakes blog has been quiet, but you understand.  ”Momma’s Always on Stage.”  Someone asked me what I was proud of in 2011, and I’m definitely proud of my baking.  Thank you all for your support.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,000 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 3 trips to carry that many people.

Other things to celebrate from 2011:

-healthy growth and love of my family

-another wonderful year with my man

-another wonderful year with the Literacy Council, promotion to bartender at Artie’s and most of all, my new part-time baker position at Sticky Fingers!

-Growing and gaining new friendships

-Dad and my sister maintaining near full-time employment!

-surviving my trip across country with my bestie Becky

-winning 2nd place Amatuer Division at the Capital Area Cake Show

-Gimme Dem Cupcakes first wedding order

Thank you all for an exceptional year.  I wish you all a blessed 2012.
