Corno’s opening was a great success. Have a look…

And we are dead serious.

Pour a couple of cups of icing sugar (powdered sugar) into a bowl and stir in some cold water, a little at a time until you have a spreadable icing - don’t make it too runny.
Spread onto the cupcake. Pop on the head and use a little of the icing to glue on the Smartie, hat and nose. Use the black icing tube for the eyes and buttons.

A smashing success!

It’s time to start bundling up. As the first signs of what we call “winter” in SoCal, I stayed inside and dreamed of days at the beach (just last week!) shopping the new cruise collections. But good things can come out of avoidance, as I have found the perfect leather jacket for these weather conditions. This Gucci cruise collection leather biker jacket is just the ticket to keep you warm and chic with ease. The rich brown-pebbled leather has an updated classic cut with a hint of ruggedness, its gold hardware adding just the right touch of embellishment. This jacket will keep me cheery and warm throughout the holidays!
