Chocolate Butter Cream Frosted Cupcakes

March 9, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Oh my goodness, I am so, so, so happy it is Friday! I need to have five minutes to relax. I swear that after these last few days I am making a vow, to save more trees. We have 4 boxes of mail from the last 21/2 months, and in addition to the normal bills, and personal correspondence we had two boxes of catalogs and magazines. So on my list for next week is to get our name on the “do not mail list” for catalogs. I should have taken a photo because the stack of catalogs is at least a foot high, as for magazines I counted 40( I think I have a sickness) but at least I do not have enough to cover my walls like the image below.

What are your plans for the weekend? I am picking out paint chips for a guest room and a bathroom. The bathroom just had granite installed and the guest room is something that I have had on my mind for awhile. I am using lots of plaid, leather and hunting scenes. I had the pillows, the bed cover and the dust ruffle and curtains made while I was in Milwaukee and am now ready to move forward. And today I purchased the most beautiful Jacobean cabinet. Things are coming together!

The house still looks like a wreck, I am hoping to be unpacked, have the laundry finished, the 10 boxes which I had shipped here unpacked( I did manage to shop at a few antique stores while in Milwaukee), and all of the mail opened and answered. Aside from that I am going to do a little baking to relax!

I made these cupcakes last week before I left Milwaukee, they are fabulous, if I do say so myself. If you like chocolate than you will love these cupcakes, the Chocolate Butter cream frosting is my favorite new recipe. All of the information is on my other blog, Once Upon a Chocolate Life.

Enjoy the weekend! I cannot wait to hear what you are up to!

    Choclate butter cream!!!!!! How can I possibly eat boring oatmeal now? 🙂 Sounds like you have been and will continue to be a busy girl…but all good things, good luck with your house projects, hope you will share when you are done, fun to see the finished results (and in process too)! Had no idea you had another blog..that could be dangerous for me, a fellow chocaholic! Enjoy your weekend Elizabeth!

    Those cupcakes look delicious! I am off to San Francisco to visit my daughter and take her to the ballet. The "paper" battle is really tough, sometimes I go on a cleaning spree and get rid of a lot of things. Magazines are my weakness and I have trouble throwing them away. I tear out the inspiring pages and keep them in a notebook. Enjoy your weekend!

    Welcome home, dear friend! You have so much to do, but if you pace yourself, and take lots of chocolat chaud breaks, all will be well 🙂
    Sending you love, and hugs with best wishes for good health for your precious pup too!
    xoxo,

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
