Hey! So, I was craving a summery (summery? Not sure if that's a word! lol) treat. I kind of have the winter blues. I thought that this cupcake could count as a Valentine's Day dessert! It's SUPER simple, so pretty much a fool-proof recipe! Here you go!
What you need...
- Strawberry cake mix (and the supplies to make it)
- Lemons (you need the juice)
- Strawberries (this is optional, but I used it as a garnish)
- cupcake tin (I used mini cupcakes)
- Powdered sugar
1) Bake the cake mix according to the box in a cupcake mix (secret ingredient: put about a teaspoon of lemon juice in the mix. shhhh! Don't tell!!)
2) To make the frosting, put about a cup and a half of powdered sugar in a bowl and mix in some lemon juice until it is a liquid consistency.
3) Let the cupcakes cool, then dip them into the frosting bowl gently.
4) Garnish the cupcakes with strawberries (I let the strawberries soak in some lemon juice to flavor them even more)
These were seriously delicious and pinky perfect for Valentine's Day. Plus, they seemed to cure my winter blues! One bite of this summery (BTW, I looked it up. Yes, it is a word!!) treat, and you're mind will be in summer again! Okay, maybe it's not exactly magic, but it's delicious!!

Chocolate Oreo Shake
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I've been really busy. I had two vacations, my birthday, and a trip to Chicago! In Chicago, I got a shake. It was delicious! So, I tried my best to recreate this yummy dessert. I think I got it pretty close. So here's what you do! It's really simple!
*NOTE: You can make any flavor you want, just use a different ice cream flavor!
1. Put 1-2 scoops of melty (if not, you just have to use your muscles) chocolate ice-cream in a large cup.
2. Put 1-2 scoops of melty cookies n' cream ice-cream in the same cup (add more scoops to make it more chocolaty, or less).
3. Add some milk, a little at a time, to get the consistency you desire! I recommend that it be not to thick that you can't slurp it down, but not too soft!
I hope you enjoy this super simple shake! See ya soon! :-)
