I buy mine at Target. The grocery stores by my house don't carry it, but Target has everything (=

Curse you icing mortal!!!

*Melvira thrusts her wooden spoon shaped staff into the sky. Tumultuous black clouds begin to circle menacingly, lightning crashes. Melvira's hair whips around her body, and an evil smirk plays on her lips. The sky erupts into a ferocious funnel cloud circling down to the spoon of power.*

You will eat your words fool, and NO ONE will eat your cakes!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

*Evil lightning bolts shoot from her spoon as she aims it directly at Tita*

Hmmm... now I'm hungry. Working hard always gives me the munchies. icon_rolleyes.gif

And you say your DH's a star wars geek? LOL!

You're freakin' hilarious. I couldn't imagine being in the same room with you, I wouldn't stop laughing! Thanks for making my day...I'm saying all of this because I can't come up with a better cake curse than the one you just put on me.

Send me your lawyers name cause I'm suing if no one likes my cakes anymore!

Heh heh *nervous cough* Let's not get hasty. Pretty girls like you shouldn't upset themselves with such silly talk... *strained smile*

You know what the weird part is... everyone I've ever met thinks I'm freakin' hilarious except the man I married. If I occasionally catch him off guard and get a small chuckle, I'm doing pretty well. I guess that's why I married him. To keep me grounded. icon_rolleyes.gif Of course, he has a pretty dry sense of humor right up until you break out with the fart jokes. Then he's just another 12 year old boy. icon_rolleyes.gif

Same here. My family thinks I'm funny, my friends think I'm funny, my kids think I'm hilarious and my husband........... think I'm a dork! Go figure icon_lol.gif Mel have you tried the chocolate bettercream with the malt syrup or is it better to start off with the reg bettercream?

Oh man! Too much!

I'm the comedian of my family. My DH is always laughing at me because I have such a sarcastic sense of humor (sound like someone we all know? Her name rhymes with El-vira). I almost killed my mom once because I said something smart when she had a mouth full of food and she laughed so hard it got lodged in her throat. You gotta be real funny if your mom almost croaks from a joke you told. She's okay by the way, she smacked me when she caught her breath and made me promise not to do it ever again.

Flat abs, firm breasts, and a million dollars to spend on clothes? Or was that a rhetorical question? Hehehe.

I have not tried the malt syrup with the chocolate bettercreme simply because they don't have the chocolate around here that I know of. I can't see how it would make a bit of difference though.

And what's with people dreaming about me all of a sudden. I'll be honest, I was going to try to act offended... but in reality it tickles me in a special way. I love the thought of me haunting people's dreams!!

Mel, do you mind telling me where you purchased those handy-dandy little boxes all your cupcakes are pictured it?

I would LOVE to tell you where I get them because I am a huge advocate of ordering from these guys. Half of you will probably be rolling your eyes by now because you've heard me give this speech before. Well... wah! Get over it! Hahahahaha. Just kidding.

But seriously, www.brpboxshop.com is where I get those nifty critters... you can get all 'denominations' so to speak... 1, 6, 12, 24 and you can get them in mini, standard, king, and JUMBO. They have the boxes and the inserts that hold the cuppies. And they have just about every size box you could ever need. I swear! They are actually located about 40 miles away from me, but I didn't know that when I first ordered from them! Their shipping is fast, and you won't believe this but, IT'S FREE!! I don't mean, 'Spend $100 and we'll ship for free.' I mean, a $5 order is free shipping. And it's not the 'allow 4-6 weeks for delivery' shipping either. I have never waited more than a day for my orders! Seriously, order at 10am today, there is a darn good chance you'll get your stuff the very next day. Now that will change slightly by where you are located, but it's QUICK! Once I realized where they were I stopped in to say hi and they were the nicest people! SO polite and attentive! The receptionist/office person that met me out front was super sweet, and when I had a question about something I was considering buying, she ran back to the stock room and got one so I could look at it and know if it was truly what I was looking for. And one thing that they encourage is feedback. If you are looking for a certain size of box and they don't sell it, ASK THEM for it! Chances are more people will want it, and they will happily make it for you.

Ok, honestly, I don't get kickbacks from them, but if you guys are anything like me, when you find a good company that treats you fairly and gives you quality at a good price, you want to encourage everyone to use them so you don't ever lose them, ya know? Keep them in business because they rock!

No, I'm ALREADY a happy person... now I just wanna be hot, rich, and well dressed, too. Honestly, is that too much to ask? How hard would it be for the winning lottery ticket to fall in my lap so I can be independently wealthy? I promise I will host the CC get together... I'll pay for the venue and the catering and overnight accomodations so we can get crazy. Might even pay for travel for each of you. Now see... if I'm willing to be THAT generous, don't I deserve to win? icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks mel. I love the cookie boxes with the heart on it. Thier prices are great! I'm ordering the natural boxes and the cookie boxes. I hate spending $3-$5 per box at michaels.

Oh, no doubt!! And you know, Wilton has some cute cupcake boxes, but who's going to spend a buck a piece just for a single cuppy box?? YIKES!!

Exactly! I want to order cake boxes too. I'm spending a buck a piece on them, and I could be getting them for half that. I'm a bit hesitant to buy such huge amounts though.
