Play Ball!

So, why did the campers bring a baseball player with them into the woods?

(pause to let the tension mount….)

 

To pitch the tent!

All right, all right, I have plenty of time to work on my jokes before spring training, but all of that walking around in the stadium made me nostalgic for baseball cupcakes. I mean, cupcakes have got to be seriously gaining on apple pie at this point, so we are talking about two classic pieces of America here people. Sing with me now: Ooooooh saaaaaaaaaaay can you seeeeeeeeeeee… (ok,I’ll stop)  Now back to our regularly schedules cupcakes.

 I have never done the Nats jerseys, but I do have a set I made for a big fan of the Cleveland Indians.

Knots, Nats and a Fun Night Out

Tonight I participated in a DC-area networking event sponsored by The Knot which was a blast! At first I was skeptical as to why this powerhouse of a wedding website would have thier event at National’s Stadium during the off-season. What in the world do weddings and baseball stadiums have in common? As it turns out… a lot!

I took these on my cellphone, but I could not resist the chance to wander through the player’s locker room and take a few shots. Did you know that the Nats have an oval locker room to mirror the oval office? No kidding.

If you get married on site you can have your guests’ names added to jerseys and hung around the room as favors. You can even treat your guests to private batting practice! I opted to make myself comfortable in Zimmerman’s locker and chat with all of the talented folks gathered in the room. (Yeah, a room full of photographers and I totally flubbed the photo op!)  This week I will sort through my stack of business cards and link up some cool and talented folks for you to see.

I am so excited that The Knot opened my eyes to an incredible space, right in my own backyard. They really are a wedding and event powerhouse. After meeting the staff I can see how they got there. What a great group of enthusiastic and fun professionals! Good times.

A special shout out to Suzanne for being my amazing wingman/PR agent and lending me her extensive knowledge about the Knot experience from the perspective of a semi-retired Knottie (look out Nest!).

Purple Bloom

Ok, I have been very lax with posting blog stories, but I uploaded some new photos to the cupcake and cake galleries!

I am pretty much buzzing with excitement over the 2011 Cupcake Challenge (www.cupcakechallenge.org) because  we toured the site this weekend and the whole cake show weekend is going to be AMAZING.

Cuptails

I was wandering through Homegoods (bad idea) and found myself in the candy and baking aisle (another bad idea). Sitting on a shelf, smiling at me, these little guys- citrus wedges, made from marshmallow.

 A great way to stack up those five fruits a day is by loading up on cocktail garnish. And with sugar subbing in for garnish, I needed something fun for inside the glass.

A CUPCAKE! 

Martini Cupcake

 Since most kitchen glass is tempered you can bake right in it. I topped it with a cookie glaze and it make a fun after-dinner treat.

 Give it a try.
