Going Away Cake and Haircut

I keep wanting to call this a birthday cake, but it was for my going away party. Anyways, it was a delicious vegan coconut lime cake with a sweet lime buttercream icing. My mom iced the cake beautifully and we tinted the piped icing green by adding a tiny bit of matcha powder. Organic food coloring!

Then also I got my hair cut and that pastel plaid button-up and that blazer. Hurrah.

Dolce & Gabbana is so Clueless

Not to make another post about plaid (we'll say this is more tartan than plaid) BUT I watched Clueless four times within in the span of two days. As always, I was impressed by everyone's crazy plaid outfits and I guess D&G was as well since their AW 08 line is chock full of it.

I plan on wearing head to toe tartan while in Japan because I feel like I can truly dress outta control there.

Ya dig?

Accidentally Vegan Obsessions

Two things that normally are never vegan: Skittles and (most commercial) chocolate.

And bam. When combined, they somehow transformed into a vegan delight.

Anyways, I had my first taste a half hour ago. So delicious. Gave me an instant headache though... but regular Skittles always did that too. I hope they have them in Japan. Actually, I guess it doesn't matter because I'm sure they'll have more delicious candy over there.

Hurrah!

Pack it Up

I am not getting very far with my packing. Tomorrow is my going away party with the family followed by my final visit to Philly for a bit. Should be fun / sad.

Cupcake News

I did not use food dye in these! The organic matcha powder turns them into a brutiful Nickelodeon green.
