Where are my manners?

This whole time, I have been writing about cupcakes and then complaining about cleaning up my messes, and you don't even know me.

Allow me to introduce myself. 

My name is Kayla Anne Spinelli. I live with my wonderful boyfriend whom I love very much. 

I spend my free time, sleeping, doing home work, and cooking delightfully healthy meals for my boyfriend. He really is a lucky guy.

I love golf, yoga, the gym, lately I am obsessed with the color aqua. I like big earrings and glitter. 
I just cut 5 inches off of my hair and it was the most terrifying and rewarding thing I have ever done.

I think I am hilarious and witty. Sometimes I even surprise myself. 

If I had one super power it would be to eat whatever I want and stay thin my entire life. 

I think kids are cute, and I read a lot of books. I love polka dots too. 

That pretty much sums me up. 


The worst part of baking.

The last think we think about when we embark on a baking journey in our kitchen we never think of the worst part..

THE CLEAN UP!

Its absolutely terrible, everything about it. You have stuff EVERYWHERE, and you just wish the mess would disappear. You are covered in frosting from head to toe, flour covers your counters. Basically a cupcake hurricane went through your kitchen, and you are a one woman FEMA clean up party.

Ok, maybe I'm being slightly dramatic..

But it really is terrible. 

I find cleaning a cupcake pan is the most difficult think EVER. My shirt is covered in water by the time I'm done.

Am I alone here? In case I'm not I have included some clean up tips at the bottom of this post. :)

Little Miss Betty Crocker

Most twenty one year old girls I know love online shopping and spending their free time pinning the latest fashion trends.

Ohhhhhh believe me, I LOVE pintrest just as much as the next girl. However, when I'm on pintrest I'm looking up cookies, cakes, and other desserts that I can make healthier or put my own spin on.

Not to mention I love looking up recipes on betty crockers website. She really knows what she's talking about.

If you make your cake you don't have to eat it too.

Ok, ok. 

I have a blog about cupcakes, but I hardly ever indulge in the miniature desserts. 

I know what you are thinking. 

Why do they make me so happy?

I enjoy making them, coming up with different flavor combinations and last but not least making them look as adorable as I possibly can. Not to mention the amount of happiness I get when the ones I love enjoy my creations.
So I guess it's cupcakes without the calories.

Hold the Sprinkles.

Some of you are probably thinking "Ooooh yay! A blog about cupcakes!" while others are thinking "How original, just another girl blogging about cupcakes.."

Ok sure, I could be a little more political or serious, better yet I could drill my beliefs into your mind as you read each letter, but whats the fun in that?

All I see or hear is articles about gun control, cancer, and crime. I agree these are important subjects we should all be concerned about but sometimes we need to just remove ourselves from the everyday and just not worry. My goal is to write about cupcakes, sprinkles, and other things that make people happy (maybe i'll throw in a puppy picture or something).

Take a bite out of my blog I hope you enjoy it :)
