Gift Guide : The Cupcake Loving Sister-in-law

My fabulous sister-in-law is in LOVE with making cupcakes. 

In fact she often teases that she wants to quit college, go to culinary school & open a bakery. 

I am ALL for this although I am a bit worried it will make me a bit plump over time?

With Christmas literally right around the corner 

I've been feverishly searching for some uber fab cupcake related gifts - 

A SUPER cute t-shirt from Dressing On The Side 

Just darling mini cupcake lip balm pots 

Rub-a-dub-dub Cupcake soap on a rope 

A cookbook dedicated to cupcakes 

Patiently waiting. (kinda)

Oh what fun it is to patiently wait... 

Errr umm ok not really.


We may end up relocating for a job
 & The Husband should be finding out where today!

So what- you ask does an excited, 
nervous girl 
with little
 to no patience
 for BIG life altering information do 
while waiting... 

Oh what fun it is to bake cookies! Right?! Right!?

Especially Chocolate Chip Cookies but with Chocolate CHUNKS instead of teeny weeny chips

Ok so side note - 

I'll admit it, I ate probably 1/3 of the cookie dough  

I just couldn't help myself...

Anyway the remaining 2/3 of dough baked into wonderfully aromatic cookies.

PS - Now we are officially out of butter.
