Sweet Supplies

I rarely do food related posts because quite frankly I don't really cook. I think living alone has something to do with it...I have no desire to cook just for myself. For me, the dinner bowl of cereal, strawberry jam Uncrustable or takeout does just fine. I keep thinking it is something I will eventually grow out of...maybe?

But, I do get the occasional urge to bake and it's pretty hard to resist after seeing all the sweet supplies at Bake It Pretty. They carry a range of baking supplies perfect for dressing up cupcakes and adding a special touch for any holiday occasion. And candy buttons?! Ok...that is too darn cute.

Check out more sweet supplies at Bake It Pretty and visit Amanda's blog for baking tips and ideas.

Happy Friday!

    That is one of my favorite sites as well! Such a happy place and those cupcake liners are too cute for words. Makes me want to pull out the apron and wooden spoon and play '50s housewife! Happy Weekend to you. :0)

    wow.
    this stuff is unbelievably cute!
    those cupcake liners would make me really, really happy in my baking adventures.
    and I really wish I had those cheery balloons for birthday cakes.
    and I just love & want it all!

    These are cute-candy buttons, who woulda thought? Makes me want to go bake. Baking is more fun I think than cooking-it's more visually pleasing-almost like an illustration

    I go in spurts. Right now I could care less about the whole cooking thing. My dinner consists of baked lays and cookies. Ugh, not good!

    Have a good weekend--maybe you'll be inspired to bake something! I know I would with all these great supplies!

    I would love a cupcake right now!! Especially w/that "Be My Valentine" heart. So cute! I don't cook a lot either. That's why I've decided to blog about eating out when we do. I think we eat out more than we eat at home.

    Love the cute supplies. I really like the idea of baking but it's the whole cleaning up of the mess that bugs me. And I am very messy in the kitchen. On the rare occasions I venture in there to make something other than coffee. A very happy weekend to you!

    I could totally relate to this post. When I lived alone I ate the exact same things you are for the same reasons. Sometimes I would cook a box of macaroni and cheese :) But I have always loved baking and had no problem whipping up several dozen cookies. These supplies are flat out gorgeous - must have them!
