This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays pick, Chocolate Malted Layer Cake, was chosen by Nicole of Sweet Tooth. This was such a wonderful pick. My friends loved it immensely.
I brought them to my son's first committee meeting. Now, if you're wondering why I have a family at 20 and my son's old enough to have committee meetings, you're right. I'm not old enough to have kids that old. It would be quite weird in a normal family to have your kids be about 2 years younger than you...and some kids older, but alas, that's Circle K for you.
So the family system as I'm sure I have explained before is a way to get members to come out more often to things and my "husband" and I try to make things as fun as possible. We go out to eat and explore Berkeley as much as possible. We try to bring personal aspect to the club where you can bond with people within your family [and outside] but it brings the club to a smaller level where people can feel comfortable with.
While on the topic of community service, I try to do as much as I can without ruining my time for school and what not. One project that I have taken on is the National Food Bloggers Bake Sale happening in 1 week. I know that other SMSers are baking for their state and part of the country, but I wanted to promote the one I will be baking for.
If you are in the Bay Area, please come out and support us!
I will be making Thin Mint cupcakes and next week's SMS. I may be making even more so come out and support the cause!

Your cupcakes are so pretty...I'd definitely buy anything that gorgeous at a bake sale!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those look so good! I wish I was going to be in the Bay area. I would sure buy any of your cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina, nice job on the cupcakes! I'm glad they were a hit with your "family." I'm in the Bay Area, so hopefully I'll get a chance to stop by and buy a cupcake from you!
ReplyDeleteHmm that cake looks too delish! it looks so moist and the icing looks yummy. Love the Andy Warhol style shots too!
ReplyDeleteHey Nina, your cupcakes look great! I totally agree, these were a huge success with my friends too. What a lovely idea to donate money for comments and so sweet given you're a student - I remember those days and I know how painful giving up $100 is!!
ReplyDeleteNow if only the bakesale was over this side of the Atlantic too... xx
Cute cupcakes! They were loved by everyone here too! Love your idea of donating money; it's very kind of you. =)
ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes look wonderful Nina! Kudos for participating in the bake sale in your area - I'm hoping to do the same in mine. It should be lots of fun :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nina!! And I wish you the best of luck on your bake sale!!
ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes are so cute! Good luck with the bake sale.
ReplyDeleteYour cupcake looks fantastic. And thanks for posting about the SF area event- my sister is an Oakland resident- I'm passing the info for her to attend.
ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes DO look fudgy. Yum! Glad they were a big hit w/your friends.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to do the bake sale and donate $ for comments left on your blog. Good luck!
Hi Nina - I'm your secret baker for April. I like your blog..I've even read your other one which you haven't posted since about November. The post was about your lazy roommate who doesn't do her chores. Well when I was in college...with 5 other roomies...if one left her dishes out and failed to clean and put them away...on her bed they went. lol I'm in southern Calif.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. Yeah, I don't really update that blog anymore since I typically talk about my life on here as well. Thanks for your comment though!
ReplyDeleteHope the bake sale went well! I'm sure these cupcakes went down a treat :)
