horchata cupcakes Originally uploaded by Bake & Destroy! This recipe comes from my hero Chockylit’s blog, www.cupcakeblog.com.

vintage Halloween cupake picks Originally uploaded by Bake & Destroy! I can’t wait for Halloween!

Earlier today I posted on My Space about canceling my Marketplace with Amazon (where I have some books and DVDs for sale) if they did not respond to the Humane Society’s urging to stop selling DVDs, books and magazines that advocate animal fighting, namely dog fighting and cock fighting. After doing some reading I found [...]

blueberry muffins Originally uploaded by Bake & Destroy! I never really post muffin recipes, even though I bake them pretty often because they aren’t as sweet and cute as cupcakes or cookies. But they are tasty, and really if you think about it, they’re cupcakes that you’re allowed to eat in the morning without anyone [...]

It’s from the moon. Originally uploaded by Bake & Destroy! I’ve been going through older entries and trying to sort out some frosting recipes from cupcake recipes.
