Cupcakes, Oh How I Love Them!!!

So I'm a baker, and one of my favorite things to bake is cupcakes. Since turning 21 a few months ago, I have started making all of them with alcohol. I find it more interesting. So I've decided that I'd start posting the recipes for these cupcakes. I've found pretty much all of them online by using google(that wonderful thing!) I tend to make adjustments depending on if I think something else will do better. I may one day just decide to make my own recipe. I might just do this because I always have excess alcohol and don't always want to drink it. So making random desserts, of course mainly cupcakes, would probably be a better use of it than getting drunk haha. Also sometimes the types of alcohol I buy I try it, and I don't always like the taste of it even mixed with things. Case in point: Kahlua. It's fine, I just won't drink it. I didn't much care for it, so I started making a lot of cupcakes with it. I had bought it for a tiramisu I was making. The recipe was from Drunken Desserts and this was the tipsy version and it called for other liqueurs too. So the tiramisu recipe barely used any of it, so I was left with a lot of Kahlua. So to me the best thing was to find cupcake recipes that would use it, yet I still have some left. I guess I'm going to have to make some more cupcakes. haha. So here are some tipsy cupcakes I've made these past few months.

Margarita Cupcakes

Pink Champagne Cupcakes

(Sorry my piping skills sucked that day because I didn't have the proper cupcake tip)

 Strawberry Chocolate Vodka Cupcakes

(This was a variation on Raspberry Chocolate Vodka from The Food Network)

 White Russian Cupcakes

Kahlua Double Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes

So I will definitely post the recipes soon. I'll also be making a whole lot more. I have so many more to try and so much more alcohol to use haha. 

For now this is all,

Tattoos

So these are my tattoos. I got both of them over a year ago, the pink breast cancer ribbon as a Christmas gift and the other as a 20th birthday present both from my brother. They mean more to me than I can express in this post. I do know I want another one either on my shoulder, behind my ear, or my ribs. I want the one on my ribs to say "when there's no one else left to burn, you set yourself on fire." I got it from To Write Love On Her Arms, the same organization that my other word tattoo comes from. I really admire what that organization does, and I support it completely because they help people who struggle with the same type of problems I have gone through since high school.

Well I don't know what else I could say, well there's a lot I could say, but I'm going to end it here. I just thought I needed to post my tattoos. They're on my arms, at the wrist.

Adios,

So it's been almost a year...

And a lot has happened since I last posted. One being that my hair is many different colors yet still looks perfectly normal(weird, I know). Another is I got a new phone a few months ago and I guess I can post more because I got the blogger app and don't have to worry about having my laptop with me. Another is that i couldn't go back to school this year due to financial reasons. I got a new job that is more stressful than it should be. There's still a guy, the same guy. I actually had a boyfriend over the summer, not the guy I've had a crush on for nearly 2 years. A different one, but that ended because it turned out to be more trouble than anything else. I at least found out that while I'm still trying to get through school, I don't need to be in a serious relationship unless I really want to be. Case in point: one of my guy friends keeps trying to get me with my long time crush, but he doesn't understand that I don't want anything more especially since it would be long distance, been there done that, not doing it again. This guy friend is a close enough friend that I tell him a lot but I can't seem to tell him about my crush. He knows the guy, but I don't tell him everything that's going on, just too awkward. So I can't really explain that my crush and I are just friends, really just "friends" and right now that's all I need. He thinks we should be couple but I don't want that and if I did I would talk to said crush about it. So that's where I am now with the guy situation. I feel I need a new crush, just to get my friends to leave me alone about the current one.
Another thing that is going is that it's my birthday next week, my 21st birthday! I'm excited, yet not. See I have a guy friend(different one) who has the same birthday as me, he's also turning 21. We've known for 2,3 years that we have the same birthday, so we celebrate together. This year has been particularly annoying because he hasn't been a lot help with deciding what to do. We're turning 21, we should do something special, but what we've decided doesn't seem special to me at all. And recent events with other friends has made rethink celebrating with some of them at all. I'm not there this year, but my closest friends are in Clemson, and I really want to see them, but I've just gotten so fed up with all of it. I tried to tell them that this stupid planning out things business has just upset me, but they don't get it or ignore it. I want to be spontaneous, so something adventurous. But a lot of them don't seem to want to go for that. I'm so tired of it that I don't care anymore if we just sit on our asses and be a bunch of homebodies. One of friends really suggested we stay in and watch movies. I wanted to smack her. I'm not watching a movie for my 21st. Another suggested the park, what about the park screams 21st birthday??? That's for 5 year olds. The problem is I don't know what to tell them I want I do. I tried suggesting something I thought would be fun, a scavenger around campus, but my friends are too lazy to come up with any clues for it. I either need new friends, or to pretend I'm happy with what we do, I'll probably choose the latter. I'm not the type of person to drop friends over something like this. Oh but typing this is just making me even more upset, so I give up know and will post what else happened over the past year later.

Adios,
Alisha
