birthday celebration for the boss: strawberry shortcake and champagne with st. germain. THE perfect dessert/adult drink combo on a summer afternoon.

i have a confession to make. i went to fentons late last night with james and his friend wanted something sweet after our amazing sushi. yes, people...we drove from mountain view to oakland for ice cream!!

since i was so stuffed and not expecting to fit my normal black and tan in my belly, i thought it would be appropriate to try something small...something i'd never had before!! dun dun DUUUUUN!! i've never actually looked at the bottom of the menu, and found that fentons bakes their own pies!! SOLD!!

i enjoyed the perfect summer treat, fresh peach pie with a huge scoop of vanilla on top. it was sweet and wonderful and everything i had hoped for. if you are a fentons and pie person, i strongly recommend this as your dessert choice next time you're in town.

oh, and james' friend got the banana special. pics to come!!

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money (paper planes, M.I.A.)

i am a big moron and forgot to take pictures at the dance. booooooo netters!!

here's a public gallery of the pics from that night. please note that there are none of the cupcake building station which i apparently did not have enough time for. yes, you read that correctly. i was a beer girl all night and had no cupcakes.

i had a blast, and as you can tell, there were about a million and one cool things to keep you entertained. even the shirts had different smiley faces that glowed in the dark!! i'm so easily amused!!

i was of course, the dancing queen. well, except for the beginning when i was keepin tabs on the pool table and enjoying a cold one.

with sprinkles' opening on delay, i was able to get my weekend sugar fix thanks to powell's sweet shoppe!!

lots of fun gum and lollipops for me (somewhitechocoolatecoveredoreostoo...huh what!!), and this delish vanilla frosting lip balm:

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough (def leppard, pour some sugar on me)

oh help me. i have been craving cupcakes all week long, and my urges are getting more intense as my sweet tooth isn't getting any satisfaction!!

this is probably because i found out that sprinkles isn't opening on august 15th!! they're pushing back their opening date until "sometime in september." WORK WITH ME PEOPLE!! I NEED MY CUPCAKES!!

my mommy just got me a really cute tea towel and oven mit to match the adorable apron given to me by my auntie on my wedding day. see below for my surprise for the apron!!



i'm very happy that cupcakes are en vogue, and don't care that some people think they're trendy. i've always loved cupcakes, and love the selection of cupcake items and more cupcake shops opening up!! cupcakes ftw, suckas!!

after much internal debate, i've decided to share my wedding pics online. i wasn't sure i wanted to share these with the world, but then i saw that someone has already used one of my pics for their forum, so whatevs.

here are pics from my special day!! more to come in november, when i have the big ol' reception!!

here's a little online tour of the goog.

my tour is better, cause i'll take you to my favorite cafe for tapas!! also, i won't forget to show you the ball pit. i can never go in there without a giggle-fit which sort of buries me after a while. :)
