buttercup bakes at home.

recently checked this book out from the library. i have to say, it's not often you get a cookbook that has every recipe you've ever dreamed of. unfortunately, the recipes are not vegan, but it's ever so easy to fix that :)

i have only made two recipes out of the book so far, since the days before i leave for my trip are getting closer and closer.

first thing i whipped up were peanut butter and jelly cupcakes with chunky peanut butter frosting. instantly got the feel for a slumber party filled with childhood favorite movies tucked away in bed. thumbs up.

second thing i made was a lime cheesecake with gingersnap crust. this recipe is super versatile, so next time around i'm going to make a lemon version.

the cookbook was written by jennifer appel, who has written a couple of others and owns a bakery called, you guessed it, the buttercup bake shop located in new york.

on a note other than baking, i can not put down a monster's notes and will finish this before i leave for europe.
