With Dynamites recent announcement of the Swords of Sorrow event lead by an all-female writing team, a lot of people took notice. Byron Brewer caught up with Nancy A. Collins to talk about her part of the event, Swords Of Sorrow: Vampirella / Jennifer Blood. Cover art by Billy Tan.
BYRON BREWER: Nancy, how does it feel to be a part of this major event as the Women of Dynamite strut their stuff?
NANCY COLLINS: Im both excited and honored to be among the creators chosen for this unique landmark event.
BB: Tell us a little about how you became involved in this event.
NC: Well, Ive been writing the monthly Vampirella title for Dynamite for the last year, and Gail and I are old friendsshes the one who introduced me to Dynamite via the Legends of Red Sonja mini-series. It was only natural that VampirellaDynamites flagship character, and one they actually ownbe a key figure in any cross-over. It was Dynamite editorial that came up with the idea of teaming up Vampi with Jennifer Bloodbasically taking a blatantly supernatural/fantastic character and teaming her up with a hyper-realistic female character from a reality where the only monsters are the ones in human form.
BB: In this supporting miniseries, do Vampi and Jennifer meet/team up or is this two separate tales?
NC: Vampirella and Jennifer Blood start off with separate stories that keep dove-tailing into one anothers narratives, repeatedly bringing them into conflict with one another.
BB: What can you tell us about the storyline for this issue?
NC: Vampirella is sent to Southern California by The Kabal to hunt down a serial killer called the Pacifica Slasher who has supernatural origins, only to end up crossing an interdimensional threshold that sends her to an alternate reality that most closely resembles our ownone where vampires, werewolves, and demons dont exist. Its there she stumbles across vigilante Jennifer Blood, who is hunting down a serial killer called the Anaheim Ripper. Hijinx follow.
BB: Can you (non-spoilery) give us any hints at all about the importance of the character called The Courier or the sword he has in his possession?
NC: The Courier is in the service of another, more powerful character called The Traveler, who has chosen certain championstwo of which happen to be Vampirella and Jennifer Blood. As for the sword Vampirella is given, its identical to the sickle-sword wielded by the goddess Kali, often viewed as a vampirea divine monster created by the gods to kill monsters.
BB: What does artist Dave Acosta bring to this mix?
NC: His art is very dynamic and his Vampirella and Jennifer Blood are both beautiful and bad-ass, and at the same time believable as real women. I was really lucky to get him for this mini-series.

]]>We have the flip to another of our writer-to-writer interviews. This time Justin Gray, writer of Lone Ranger: Vindicated #4, talks with writer Frank Barbiere about Solar: Man of the Atom #9, both on sale now. Covers by Marc Laming and Jonathan Lau.
JUSTIN GRAY: In Solar #9, Erica and hereafter have returned to earth and you do a fantastic job of bringing readers up to speed in an interesting and exciting way. What got me thinking was the idea of a father and daughter team working within the construct of superhero comics. There is this kind of wonderful absurdity when you realize the protagonists dad, aside from giving her superpowers, is essentially a ghost in a skin tight bodysuit that no one else can see. What makes that a compelling set-up for you as a writer?
FRANK BARBIERE: The central conflict of the series has really been about Erica coming to terms with her estranged father essentially haunting her/teaching her to be a hero. Were finally seeing Erica really step into her own and define that word on her own terms, rather than just punching through her problems. I think that emotional core is really what drew me to the bookthe chance to make it more about family, about growing into your identity, rather than just a dude gets powers and punches bad guys take on the character. Though this issue did have decidedly more punching.
JG: I would think you can get a lot of emotional mileage from the father/daughter dynamic because it strays from the formula in a way I find refreshing.
FB: Absolutely. Its the core of the book and Im excited to get to the resolution of this 12-issue arc where we really see a lot of the payoffs.
JG: Something else I found interesting is the way Erica is a normal person in terms of appearance and even in costume, which almost goes out of its way not to look sexualized with the way Jonathan Lau is illustrating her. I mean I have to think other publishers would at least have a ponytail if not all of her hair out. Theres always a lot of noise being made about female super heroines represented with impossible proportions and gratuitous designs. Was there a conscious effort to represent her more realistically based on the Solar costume?
FB: Juan Doe actually designed our new Solar costume and did a fantastic job. We pushed from very early on to have Erica be a much more realistic person, rather than some kind of over-exaggerated, hypersensualized character, and I think Jon has done a remarkable job of making Erica look great without being a cartoonish parody. For me it even goes far beyond the aesthetic as we want to portray Erica as an interesting, diverse character who brings a new viewpoint to being Solar vs. the traditional takes on the character.
JG: Can we expect birds next issue?
FB: Haha, time will tell. But we do have the return of a villain that should make things pretty interesting, as well as some fun bridging of the Gold Key books that show our readers we are working in an exciting, shared universe.
JG: On a more serious note obviously this issue shows that youre building toward something bigger in the story with a special appearance by a character I wont spoil, but can you give people a taste of what to expect in the coming months?
FB: This arc is the finale weve been building towards since issue one and Im really, really proud of how its all wrapped up. I think we have some real emotion and power in this final arc, and it will really serve to define Erica as Solar for years to come, as well as deliver some really exciting superhero action.

This is what history says the temperature was.

5am -20f for us in the up of Michigan 32f is global warming
It wouldn't be so bad if the side effects would only happen to the ones advocating alarm. Unfortunately, all of us will have to pay the price. In the end, they will try to get away with what they have done by saying: "I didn't mean THIS to happen. I was only trying to save the planet and not intend to destroy all that makes it worth while for a human to be alive." Yes they did intend to destroy everything human and humane! Every consequence of every program they have ever advocated has always ended in disaster and always will. They are not innocent in the matter.
That recent video you linked with Morano was a good one…. and he mentioned Real Science. Libstains don't know they're crazy. They think the real world is the imaginary one. It will take very blunt rebuttals by a legit government to extinguish the lunacy, even for a while. I'm not holding out much hope.
John Kerry is touring South East Asia spruiking Global Warming and how China and the USA are working together. The two greatest communist countries in the world, working together moving forward on climate change. Makes your heart swell!
"By 2014 we're predicting it will be 0.3 degrees warmer than 2004, and just to put that into context the warming over the past century and a half has only been 0.7 degrees, globally, there have been bigger changes locally but globally the warming is 0.7 degrees. So 0.3 degrees over the next ten years is pretty significant. And half the years after 2009 are predicted to be hotter than 1998 which was the previous record. So these are very strong statements about what will happen over the next ten years, so again I think this illustrates we can already see signs of climate change but over the next ten years we are expecting to see quite significant changes occurring." —Vicky Pope, Met Office, 13 September 2007
Looks like Vicky Pope is a climate charlatan or so incompetent that paying her salary must be classed as UK government fraud.
Those hot summers will return. Unfortunately, a cooling planet likely causes the jetstream to 'lock' in place and when/if it does in summer it will be hot and of course the inverse in winter (2014)

Minnesota upsets Michigan State 96-90 in OT
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Carlos Morris missed a free throw that could have won the game in stunning fashion - but by that point, the hardest part was already over for Minnesota.
Morris made a tying 3-pointer while being fouled with 2.2 seconds left in regulation, and although he missed the ensuing free throw, the Golden Gophers controlled the overtime for a 96-90 win over Michigan State on Thursday night. Minnesota snapped a 15-game losing streak in East Lansing, taking advantage of the Spartans' poor free throw shooting in the final minutes.
"We've got a long way to go but that was big," Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said. "If (Morris) hits a free throw I might have cut down the nets, but that's OK."

Fuller piles pain on Pompey
Stoke City 1 Portsmouth 0
Asked to explain a run of low scores, the England batsman, Allan Lamb, replied in his broad South African tones: "I'm in good form, it's just that I keep getting out."
It is the same with Portsmouth. It is not that the Premier League's bottom side have played particularly badly, they just keep getting beaten. The goal from Ricardo Fuller that condemned Paul Hart's side to their 10th defeat of the season came from almost the only coherent attack Stoke mounted in an evening of long balls and short tempers.
Just before Fuller curled his shot into the corner of Jamie Ashdown's net, Tuncay Sanli was warming up, ready to replace a striker whose only impact this season has been in the amount of fines for lateness that have swelled Stoke's charity collection. For some reason – call it managerial instinct – Tony Pulis hesitated and Pompey's fate was sealed. "Ricky looked nervous in our last game at Hull and he was edgy today; he is a confidence player and he hadn't scored this season, but I just held off," said Pulis, who thought the first half was as poor as Stoke had been in the Premier League.
Certainly, Thomas Sorensen had more to save than Ashdown, who was pressed into service when David James injured his calf in the warm-up, something that would concern the England manager, Fabio Capello, who has already expressed concerns about his goalkeeper's fitness. Hart said that since a calf injury usually takes three weeks to heal it was nonsense to suggest James' World Cup place was under threat.
The last time Ashdown had come to the Britannia Stadium, with Norwich City, he had conceded five. Yesterday, he had Fuller's shot and a tame free-kick to deal with. Since Stoke's return to the top flight only two clubs from outside the "big four", Everton and West Ham, have won here; a statistic that made Portsmouth's failure to take their chances, especially the penalty awarded in the seventh minute, all the more galling.
Since Rory Delap had almost decapitated Aruna Dindane, the decision was not in question, although the way Kevin-Prince Boateng took the spot kick summed up everything about Portsmouth. Sorensen once saved a penalty from Alan Shearer at St James' Park in the white heat of a Tyne-Wear derby but, in comparison, this was almost a back pass. Hart's shoulders slumped in a manner that has become too familiar. He will have sensed what was coming.
Stoke City: (4-4-2) Sorensen; Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Collins; Delap, Diao (Lawrence, 57), Whitehead, Etherington; Beattie (Sidibe, 57), Fuller (Tuncay, 84). Substitutes not used: Simonsen (gk), Higginbotham, Whelan, Pugh.
Portsmouth: (4-4-2) Ashdown; Ben Haim, Kaboul, Wilson, Hreidarsson; Brown, O'Hara, Boateng, Mullins (Webber, 80); Kanu, Dindane (Piquionne, 73). Substitutes not used: Williamson, Vanden Borre, Smith, Hughes.
Referee: K Friend (Leicestershire).
Booked: Stoke Whitehead; Portsmouth Brown, Mullins.
Man of the match: Lawrence.
Attendance: 27,069.

18 Standout Burgers You Should Try Now
If America has a national sandwich, it's unequivocally the hamburger. But deciding what particular combination of ground beef, seasonings, toppings, and bun is the best is sheer folly once you bite in and discover the various regional and even hyper-local variations from across the country that all go by the name burger. So to guide us through this varied landscape – and provide us with a short list of truly notable entrants from across the country – we enlisted the help of George Motz, noted host of Travel Channel's 'Burger Land,' and author of 'Hamburger America' (and producer of a film by the same name).
Motz says there are a few key components to any great burger, but the most important is that it's made of freshly ground, single-source beef. He's also especially fond of shining a light on classic spots that frequently go unmentioned in gourmet top tens. "When you walk into a burger restaurant, and all they're talking about is their beef blend or how much they love their butcher, you know you're in the right place," he says. In that spirit, here are 18 dining spots that Motz says make burgers that deserve special recognition – some classic, some exotic, some bizarre, all delicious – and that should be on any devotees burger bucket list.

Who said limo drivers get no play. That might be the case but on this night this driver was a lucky daughter fucker. Faye was like totally distressed because like her boyfriend is like a total jerk. She wanted to get some revenge on him by getting fucked by someone else on her prom night. She was freaky little nympho, she supposedly masturbated constantly. Well this limo driver was no slouch either. He fucked and sucked and fingered Faye in way she did not know possible. Had her squirting, deepthroating, getting her ass licked and fingered, and top it off with a nice warm facial. All in all a prom night she will never forget.

MADISON, WI -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/14 -- Widen Enterprises, the leading provider of SaaS digital asset management (DAM), has announced a strategic partnership with Silicon Publishing, the world leader in automating web-to-print and multi-channel publishing with InDesign. The Widen Media Collective version 7.2 integrates with Silicon Publishing's InDesign plugin enabling designers to work more quickly and accurately.
Silicon's Adobe-savvy team customized the InDesign plugin specifically for Widen DAM customers. Users can simply drag an image from the Media Collective and drop it into their InDesign documents. If edits are made to the image in the DAM site, changes are automatically reflected on the image in InDesign.
"The development teams at Widen and Silicon Publishing specifically tailored the design workflow to cater to the needs of our creative users," said Deanna Ballew, Manager of Development and Infrastructure for Widen.
"We have worked with many DAM systems over the years, but Widen stands out as a refreshingly direct, efficient and cost-effective digital asset management solution provider," says Max Dunn, Co-Founder and President of Silicon Publishing. "It's been exciting to connect with a company with such extensive publishing and content workflow experience."
Overall, the integration extends DAM as a critical component of the creative design process. Key benefits for the Widen-InDesign integration include:
- Drag and Drop - Users can quickly drag and drop images from the Media Collective and place them into an InDesign layout.
- Linked Files - Files are linked directly to the Media Collective in InDesign. Files updated in the Media Collective are automatically updated in InDesign.
- Workflow Flexibility - Teams can choose either a high-resolution or low-resolution workflow.
- Package Linked Files - Users can extract all high-resolution files from the Media Collective by using the Package option in InDesign to easily send files to other vendors.
"Our customers tasked us with finding a better way to integrate marketing content with creative workflows," said Matthew Gonnering, Widen CEO. "True to Widen form, we listened and aligned with a proven technology to solve a market need."
The plugin was built to be scalable, easy to use and beneficial to organizations of all shapes and sizes. Early adopters of the integration, Sub-Zero and Promega Corporation, have been able to reduce the manual steps in the creative process with the plugin.
"In terms of quickly concepting a layout, the plugin has dramatically reduced the turnaround time," said Jake Sikir, Graphic Designer at Sub-Zero. "We no longer wait to download a set of images. Instead, we place multiple images, and then download when we find the right fit."
"The InDesign plugin with the Widen DAM system has really opened the eyes of our designers to the power of the DAM," said Sara Sarow, Marketing Services Operation Supervisor at Promega. "Instead of treating it as simply an archival system, they are seeing DAM as a tool they can use in their day-to-day work."
Earlier in 2014, Widen partnered with AtTask, provider of cloud-based enterprise work management software for marketing teams, and ProofHQ, a leading provider of online proofing software. Widen's partnership with Silicon Publishing further enhances the Media Collective experience by optimizing project management, proofing and design workflows.

By Elizabeth White The results of a global study commissioned by CA Technologies reveal that mobile and desktop applications have become the new battleground for brand loyalty. In today's software-driven world, where consumers are more discerning about what they expect from applications, the reality is that businesses that fail to deliver a positive application experience risk losing as much as a quarter of their customer base.
"Consumers no longer view applications as nice-to-have novelties. They now have a hug... Mar. 5, 2015 01:27 PM EST Reads: 332 |
By Liz McMillan DevOps is about increasing efficiency, but nothing is more inefficient than building the same application twice. However, this is a routine occurrence with enterprise applications that need both a rich desktop web interface and strong mobile support. With recent technological advances from Isomorphic Software and others, it is now feasible to create a rich desktop and tuned mobile experience with a single codebase, without compromising performance or usability.

"Heroism works in contradiction to the voice of mankind," the great Bostonian poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1841, "and in contradiction, for a time, to the voice of the great and good."
Well, no, heroism doesn't work that way, as the splendid people of Emerson's own Boston have so magnificently proved this week. It is the transcendentalist Emerson's contemporary, the naturalist Charles Darwin, who is proved to have been right all long. Humanity has been naturally selected for heroism. It's our second nature.
The thousands of acts of common decency and courage that accompanied and ultimately eclipsed the bombing atrocity at the Boston Marathon's Boylston Street finish line Monday affirm another thing worth noticing. It is not the political theorist Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil" that is at work here, but rather the pioneering Stanford University psychology professor Philip Zimbardo's "banality of heroism."
This is what is in such sharp and glorious relief in all those little stories that we can't get enough of. There's the Random Acts of Pizza for overworked and hungry emergency workers. The Red Cross had to turn away crowds of would-be blood donors by 3:30 in the afternoon. Most delightful was the impromptu online spreadsheet that within 24 hours had attracted more than 5,000 Bostonians opening their homes to stranded travellers:
"My husband and I live in a one bedroom in Brighton. We have a pull out sofa the living room for anyone who might need a place to stay. We also have a cat, for those who are allergic," and "We've got food and a futon and a warm place to crash," and "We have a couch, and we'll make sure you get dinner, computer access, and whatever else you need …" On and on it goes. It's positively banal.
The Iranians have a word for it. It's "hambestagi." It roughly translates as "solidarity." It is a condition of humankind that is always present and quite ordinarily blossoms in crisis. It was everywhere in evidence Monday in Boston and well beyond.
This state of affairs is not easily reconciled with the lazy journalistic habit of seeing that somebody must always be singled out and "hailed as a hero" as though something extraordinary is involved in events so ordinary that if you type those exact words into Google you'll come up with 4,960,000 instances in less than a fifth of a second.
The habit is probably harmless enough, except to the degree that it leaves the impression that decency and sweetness are the exceptions rather than the human rule, and it does reflect an Emersonian way of thinking. It may be the thing that has suddenly seen to it that the Boston bombing requires that we all be badgered into being morally uplifted and hectored about having our hearts warmed and browbeaten into arranging for our faith in humanity to be restored.
Maybe this is a thought that would occur only to those of us whose faith in humankind requires no such crudely interventionist restorative therapy, but here it is: In place of actual acts of journalism related to Monday's barbarism, was it really necessary for the Globe and Mail, Time Magazine, Slate and the Washington Post to gang up on everybody with pieties out of the cardigan-wearing Presbyterian host of a 1960s-era television babysitting service titled Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood?
Seriously. The Globe headline: "How to talk to kids (and especially adults) about the Boston Marathon bombings: Try Mr. Rogers." Time: "In the Wake of the Boston Marathon Attacks, Mr. Rogers Quote Spreads Hope Across the Internet." Slate: "The History of Mister Rogers' Powerful Message." The Washington Post: "Mr. Rogers gives hope while social media becomes virtual house of prayer for Boston."
This has the aspect of some strange acid flashback to the 9/11 trauma, with demented insinuations about a "false flag" operation as a backdrop to an obsessive preoccupation with the saccharine insights of an allegedly "much loved" Fred McFeeley Rogers from Televisionland. It is this one that has gone so viral on Facebook and Twitter and such places since Monday: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"
What Darwin saw in heroism is something that at first will seem counterintuitive…is not something that straightaway seems a very useful evolutionary trait
It has been like waking up in the middle of some sort of horrible Wellness Seminar. Fair play to him and everything but one would sooner want to put pins in one's eyes than submit to a study of the works of the late Mister Rogers (mercifully he has been dead for a decade) for insights into how to deal with the sort of terrorism (are we still allowed to use that word?) involved in Monday's hideous crime in Boston.
What Darwin saw in heroism is something that at first will seem counterintuitive. The condition that causes people to short-circuit their own survival instincts, to act selflessly and bravely in anticipation of no reward, and to lay down one's life, even, for the common good, is not something that straightaway seems a very useful evolutionary trait.
But genes reside not just in individuals but in families and groups, and a trait that would otherwise do harm to a person — that strange disposition that causes so many people to rush toward the shooting and the explosions, rather than run away, for instance — enhances the evolutionary fitness of the group itself.
It is the stuff that civilization is made of. It happens one person, one blood transfusion, one dead terrorist and one spare futon at a time.

What more can you say about Johnny Marr other than "living legend". NME named him godlike genius for a reason and he does not disappoint. The mixture of new songs from "The Messenger" and Smiths classics was great, and the banter with the crowd amusing rather than off-putting as is… (cont'd) Emma

The post Vanilla Malt Cupcakes appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>We had a terrible ice storm here down south about two weeks ago. They're not equipped to handle with snow or ice so we spent several days stuck at home. We eventually went a little stir crazy.
When the roads were finally clear enough my mom and I bundled the baby up so we could at least spend a few hours out of the house. I really wanted to bake something fun since it was so cold and dreary still.
The stores were all in the process of clearing out the Valentine's Day candy and loading the shelves with Easter candy. I snagged some malted easter eggs at Dollar General. I've had a malt craving lately. I used to always get a vanilla or chocolate malt shake at my favorite burger restaurant in London.
The vanilla cake on these are super fluffy and the frosting has a nice strong malty flavor.
3/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
5 egg whites
4 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup vanilla-flavored malted milk powder
4 tbs milk
1 tbs vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
malted easter eggs, for decorating

]]>The post Oreo Birthday Cake Popcorn appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I'm still alive! I've mastered doing a lot of tasks one handed these days but not quite baking and blogging. I seem to spend most of my days on the couch or propped up in bed feeding my little cookie monster.
I managed to whip up some quick popcorn while Oskar was having some Grandma time. I used some special edition birthday cake candy melts that I've been saving and of course my favorite birthday cake Oreos. The red velvet Oreos would be good for this with marshmallow or chocolate candy melts I think.
From start to finis this popcorn took about 10 minutes to make and 5 of those minutes was waiting for the kernels to pop. I kept my cookie chunks fairly large but you can crush them as small as you like.
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
8 oz birthday cake candy melts
10 crushed birthday cake Oreo cookies
Rainbow sprinkles

]]>The post Red Velvet Oreo Cupcakes appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I wanted to write a very quick post and let everyone know that my baby boy arrived! He's so awesome I can't believe it. He arrived on his due date as well! I'll share some pictures soon.
My mom is here to help me out for a little while. I'm so grateful. It makes things so much easier. I've been able to get enough sleep and keep up with the house chores. We even managed to squeeze in a few trips to the store (poor baby needed smaller clothes!) and I made some cupcakes while baby was sleeping in his Mama Roo.
I of course could not resist making cupcakes with the new Red Velvet Oreos. I decided to make a vanilla cake with an Oreo at the bottom (top cookie twisted off), crushed Oreos in the batter and a buttercream icing with crushed Oreos. I decided to go without a cream cheese frosting but that's just my own personal preference.
I used the cookies and cream recipe from Tide and Thyme. Since I used the smaller baking cups I had enough batter leftover to make one 6 inch layer cake. Maybe a red velvet Oreo Cupcake Milkshake will be next!

]]>The post Meyer Lemon Chess Pie appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>Alex spent hours and hours painting the baby's nursery over the span of about three weekends. This is our first house so we have no experience with DIY. He did such a good job for his attempt. He's so meticulous with everything he does. He's basically the opposite of me!
I made this pie for him since he wouldn't let me help him paint. I'll do a nursery tour soon so I can show off his handy work. At this point I'm writing a few posts in advance so we could technically still be waiting for the little peanut to arrive
This is one of my favorite pies. I'm not huge on fruit pies but Alex is. This time I compromised and made one with lemons, which I love. I used Meyer lemons so next time I would decrease the sugar a little. This time I used the quick no roll King Arthur pie dough with vegetable oil. I was pretty impressed with it's crispness.
3 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 tbs cold water
2 cups sugar
1 tbs flour
1 tbs yellow cornmeal
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 unsalted butter, melted
2 tbs lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (4-5 Meyer lemons)
adapted from Food Network and King Arthur Flour

]]>The post Valentine's Day Funfetti Cookie Cake appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>The countdown to baby is down to the single digits now! Nine more days if he's going to show up on time. He could potentially show up on my birthday (Feb 2nd) or even Valentine's Day if he's late!
I've still been going to work everyday. I'm trying to save up all my maternity leave for when the baby is actually here. I was doing fine until the last few days. I can hardly sleep at night and even going out and running a few errands left me feeling knackered! The nesting thing hasn't kicked in yet.
I don't want to give up baking. It helps take my mind off all the scary things that come with having a baby. The hardest part is actually taking the photos! I don't have any tables in my craft room so my photo boards are on the floor. Crouching down to take the pictures is a little tricky :p
I have stuck to super easy fun desserts these last few weeks. Cookie cakes are about as easy as they come. Mix up the dough and press it all into a cake pan. Viola! I added some maraschino cherry juice to the frosting for a little flavor and light pint tint.
The recipe is from Life Made Simple. I didn't make any changes except using Valentine's Day sprinkles.

]]>The post Mini Cherry Chip Layer Cake appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>Since I didn't get much of a chance to make many Christmas treats I decided to get a head start on Valentine's Day. Target has a pretty good selection of red and pink goodies. I got these napkins, straws and plates for $1-$3 each.
I love cherry chip cake. Brings back nostalgic memories. My mom used to buy the boxed kind all the time when I was a kid. I could eat the maraschino cherries straight from the jar. The marshmallow frosting is a good compliment to the cake. Keeps it light if you're having a romantic evening
I halved the recipe from Taste and Tell and used 2 six inch pans to make it mini! Perfect for two. The cake was a little soft so I wrapped the layers and froze them for 1 hour before layering and frosting. I used almond extract instead of cherry. I wasn't super crazy about the frosting recipe. I love marshmallow frosting but I prefer the Martha Stewart 7 minute frosting I just made for the Funfetti Cupcakes. It had a better marshmallow consistency and spread easier.

]]>The post What to see in Nashville appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I've lived in Nashville for about 4 months now. We've done some of the big touristy things when my sister came to visit but when it comes to restaurants we've hardly scraped the tip of the ice berg. If you plan on visiting soon I hope these tips are useful! There are so many trendy and interesting restaurants I don't think we'll ever visit them all.
1. Grand Old Opry (Ryman Auditorium): No visit to Music City is complete without an evening at the Opry. A fairly inexpensive night out there are 4 country music acts. The night we went was great. We saw the last ever performance of Little Jimmy Dickens before he passed away, Eric Paslay and some of the cast from Nashville (I often see them recording the show nearby my office).
2. Goo Goo Cluster Store: New store dedicated to the famous Nashville candy. It sells merchandise and everything Goo Goo. Make sure to pick up a homemade Goo Goo Cluster. They run $9 but they're huge and delicious.
3. Antique Archaeology: Mike Wolfe's storefront from American Pickers. The store is nestled in an interesting street that's currently rejuvinating. There was more tourist merchandise in the store than items picked from the show we thought.
4. The Pharmacy: Hipster burger joint in East Nashville. Delicious burgers and homeamde sodas. Weird buns.
5. Loveless Cafe: Always at the top of every Nashville guide I was excited to have lunch here. We were really disappointed. The biscuits were delicious but our meals had no seasoning and was served cold. Perhaps we went on an off day.
6. Bang Bang Candy Co: Next to Antique Archeology and the hip Marathon mall they sell a variety of marshmallows. A little pricey but I tried a Maple Bacon Marshmallow for $1.
7. Frothy Monkey: Uber trendy coffee shop with a few locations around town. Great coffee and food (service is hit and miss). Love their seasonal lattes. My favorite is the Honey Rosemary.
8. The Soda Parlour: Nestled in the Marathon Mall they only sell sodas. On offer is a wide variety of bottled soda from around the US and they also have their own sodas on tap to have as a float (I have not yet had a chance to try one).
9. Acme Feed and Seed Co: Cheap and cheerful restaurant with every fried food you could dream of complete with a country music DJ.
10. Martin's BBQ: My favorite BBQ place so far in Nashville. Multiple locations around town. I recommend the Redneck Tacos.
11. Jack Daniel Distillery: A little over an hour away from Nashville. Visit where the world famous whiskey is brewed. Free tours. Be warned that it's located in a dry county!
12. Bravo Gelato: Located inside the Opryland Hotel. Part of the Christie Retail Group which also sells Christie's Cookies (I think). The cookie sandwich I bought was delicious.
13. Opryland Hotel: Free activity! Walk around the spacious property and vast indoor gardens.
14. Puckett's Grocery: My favorite place for breakfast in Nashville. Everything on the menu is delicious and they have live music in the evenings. I'm addicted to the stuffed french toast.
Not pictured: The Red Pony, a fabulous fine dining restaurant in Franklin. I had Elk Medallions! Fun for a special occasion. The Nashville Farmer's Market is pretty much open every day and offers a variety of seasonal products as well as some food stalls. It's a little more interesting in the Summer and Fall than it was in the Winter.
I also have a pinboard of all the places I want to try.

]]>The post Funfetti Hi Hat Cupcakes appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I wanted to squeeze in one more baby themed dessert before the big day comes! I'm seriously counting down these last four weeks. It will be nice to not struggle to put my socks on in the morning and be able to walk up the stairs again.
I will miss the little baby kicks though. He's been very active this week. You can see his head and feet moving along my stomach. It's a little freaky but I love it!
I made these cupcakes to take into work the day I had lunch with all my co workers. I made funfetti cupcakes, topped with a marshmallow frosting that I tinted baby blue. I dipped the cupcakes in some sugar cookie candy melts. I added some rainbow sprinkles to the melts as well since they came flecked with only red and greed.
These would also make cute gender reveal cupcakes!
I've made seven minute frosting before for Coconut Hi Hats and Sundae Cupcakes but this time my egg whites would not cooperate and I had to make the marshmallow three times before it turned out right.
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces), at room temperature
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
3/4 cups plus 1 tbs sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tbs light corn syrup (I used golden syrup)
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1 bag candy melts

]]>The post Buttermilk Banana Bread appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I made this bread probably 6 months ago! I don't know why it's been sitting in my drafts for so long. There were just so many other posts and cakes to write about! Moving and baby also got in the way.
I knew being pregnant and having a baby wouldn't be easy but it's definitely harder than I thought it would be. I've felt pretty tired the whole time and it's been hard to do a lot of baking on the weekend (my legs get tired from standing pretty quickly). I haven't even had the energy to read my favorite cupcake novels on my kindle!
This recipe is worth the wait though, it's one of my favorite banana bread recipes that I've made in a long time. I've made so many variations of banana bread but what makes this one special is it's simplicity. It's super soft and has a great banana flavor. It must be the buttermilk.
The recipe is from I am Baker. I didn't make any changes to the recipe.
The post Buttermilk Banana Bread appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>The post Chocolate Pecan Saltine Bark appeared first on American Cupcake Life.
]]>I tried to squeeze in one more cake for 2014 but it was not meant to be! I made the chocolate chip cake from The Back in the Day cookbook but I don't own a 9×13 baking pan so I thought I would be clever and used my bundt tin.
Wrong! I think the cake batter might have been a little too heavy and it stuck horrendously to the pan despite a liberal dousing in Crisco. We still ate it and I saved all the stuck crumbly bits to throw into a milkshake.
Good thing I made this saltine bark before the cake disaster! I completely understand now why sometimes this recipe is called Christmas Crack. Who would have thought those dry crumbly crackers that mom used to give us when we had the flu could be so tasty.
I guess they're tasty in part because they get a liberal dousing with two sticks of butter
I used the recipe from Averie Cooks and added some roasted pecans on top of my chocolate and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
