Julie & Julia

Devil's Food Cupcakes

Have you seen Julie & Julia? I saw it last weekend with my daughter, and I loved it! The story of Julie Powell blogging her way through Mastering The Art of French Cooking was interesting, especially to me as a blogger. But, the story of Julia Child played by Meryl Streep was my favorite part. I would have enjoyed the story of Julia Child even without Julie Powell’s story. Julia’s relationship with her husband Paul was shown beautifully in the movie. And, Meryl Streep embodied Julia Child. Meryl was amazing in this movie! If you get a chance, go see this refreshing movie.

Coconut Cupcakes

The pictures I’ve posted are the last two batches of cupcakes my daughter made from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes before school started again. I’m afraid it will be awhile before she has the chance to bake again. I am sad my daughter doesn’t have the time to bake right now, but my diet is relieved. Both cupcakes were delicious and rich. My son loved the dark rich Devil’s Food Cupcakes, and I loved the Coconut Cupcakes.

Have a good Labor Day weekend!
