Surviving the end of the world is delicious! Even if the world didn’t end, there’s lots of excitement brewing with Christmas, New Years, and even a trip to NYC! Like a kangaroo, I’ll bring back lots of yummies in my belly with pictures of devoured food stuffs to share.
Today, I’ll be sharing Gingerbread Cupcakes.

Love & merry yummies,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
Christmas in your mouth, oh myyyy.
I could eat that frosting by itself, just saying.
ohhh yes =)
I’m so glad you made it ! <3
Love that you put candied ginger on top! Gingerbread in cupcake form sounds divine right now. PS I love your pig spatula! My sister has a gift boutique called The Flying Pig and she is selling that spatula, along with other matching utensils. i think they’re so cute! PPS I always mean to ask and always forget–who records your videos? Do you use a tripod or does someone do the recording for you? What kind of camera do you use for the videos? Your videos are really high quality!
LOVE piggies!! Is she online? I’ll have to check it out. For now, it’s just me and ole mr. tripod and I use a flip cam, lol. It’s laughable, really but I’m saving up for better equipment.
Please, you are so pro IMO (though my oppinion doesn’t count for much-lol). Well she’s kinda sorta online…she just doesn’t keep her website updated and most everything in her shop isn’t on there. But you can buy her homemade bath/body products on her blog and if you need piggy stuff, call the number on her site, she can get it for you! http://dani-creations.com/
Have the merriest holiday season Angie!!!

Your directions in your videos are very straightforward; well received. On a side note I do like your nail polish color. And I submitted to subscribe again. I have tried a couple of times and for some reason your new posts are not showing up yet.
Have a Merry Christmas!
