Man I am a slacker! I also stopped blogging in 2010. I am going to attempt to revive this blog (and get the lumpia photos up). Stay tuned!Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07766181133129239570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042425382524238557.post-6051357143978392062010-10-14T23:51:00.003-05:002010-10-15T00:00:06.433-05:00My first Wilton Cake...With a nudge from my husband, I am finally taking one of the Wilton cake decorating classes that they offer at Joann. I'd been interested in taking one for years now but somehow never got around to it for one reason or another.Today was the second of four classes and I'm pretty pleased with how the cake turned out :) I made a pumpkin spice cake with pumpkin pudding for filling and decorated with Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07766181133129239570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042425382524238557.post-68321795279100966062010-09-09T17:52:00.007-05:002010-09-09T18:05:29.344-05:00I'm a Winner!Yay!

The recipe is pretty simple, but actually assembling and wrapping them is pretty labor intensive. So I suppose this was an appropriate thing to make during Labor Day Weekend, haha. This was actually the first time I've ever made them by myself...any other time, I've just been Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07766181133129239570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042425382524238557.post-4566453984033621122010-08-31T12:05:00.000-05:002010-08-31T22:54:37.015-05:00Food-filled weekendThis past weekend was a very fun/food-filled weekend! We had some friends in town visiting so Mike and I took them to some of our favorite places here in Nashville. Three of them have been on the Food Network at one point or another but I thought I'd share them here. 12 South Taproom - great bar and grill that has some tasty sandwiches, quesadillas, etc. It's far better than most bar food you Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07766181133129239570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042425382524238557.post-1681258725108288982010-08-27T00:01:00.000-05:002010-08-31T22:54:09.715-05:00Vote!Please vote for my Coffeehouse Ice Cream HERE!

This is my very first post...I figured it was about time I started a blog, just in time to enter the ice cream contest over at Scoopalicious. Back in May I entered another contest hosted by the gals over at Scoopalicious with a Mojito Ice Cream Cupcake...it was fun to create something yummy along with having the chance to win some cool (pun intended) prizes :) I didn't Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07766181133129239570noreply@blogger.com4
