Every year for his entire lifetime, I have made Bishop Danger Remis’ birthday cupcakes. Being Teno’s best friend, he has a free pass for the weirdest and wildest little kid birthday cakes until they are too old for birthday parties. Last year his theme was municipal vehicles, for which I made piles of candy garbage [...]

Thanks to everyone who played my Party Hard give away – and extra thanks to the folks at Seibei who made it all possible. Congrats to Sara and Misty on posting the (randomly) winning comments! By popular demand I’m posting the toppers I used to make my black and white cupcakes. Just download the DIY Andrew [...]

Earlier this month I was honored to be invited to judge the inaugural Baking Magic for Kids Bake Off! It takes place on June 13th at Verona Wisconsin’s Hometown Days. First of all, it has been a life-long dream of mine to judge a cake contest at a country fair-type joint. I mean, that is [...]

I need you to help ReusableBags.com win Green Business of the year. Our efforts have made a tremendous impact: as [...]

Check it out, dude, I’m a tote bag! Not only that – but I’m a tote bag with a built-in craft project! How amazing is that? Some of you might remember when Bonnie of Model Citizen did her Bake and Destroy Tiger Lady t-shirt – heck, some of you might even own one! Well Sublime [...]

A few years ago, trolling around Etsy with my first bit of Bake and Destroy shirt sale money burning in hole in my PayPal account, I discovered a shop called A. Bell Emporium and was instantly smitten. Plastic ballerinas, kitchy mushrooms and wee little deer all ideal for topping the weirdo cupcakes I’d been baking [...]
