Hello, Everyone!
Lili Creations would like to announce their engagement and give a giant thank you to Blush Bridal Boutique for helping me to find my perfect wedding dress!  For the sake of a snooping fiance, I will not be disclosing which dress I got, but I assure you it is beautiful
Anyways, back to the wonderful Blush Bridal Boutique, if you are in the market for a wedding or bridal party gown, I highly reccommend you go down to Blush Bridal Boutique.  Blush is a vivacious, upbeat, and
sophisticated bridal gown with a side of quirk thrown in for good measure. 
Blush provided us with our best bridal gown shopping experience in Victoria,
without question!  With an array of sizes, I never once felt discouraged or anything less than beautiful.  The staff was fantastic- extremely helpful, discreet, and really just there to make your experience the best experience possible.  I simply cannot sing enough praise for Blush.

Contact Mary & Erin for all bridal related queries.

Come support local artisans!
''Tis the season to shop! 

So, my boyfriend came home talking about these cupcakes he had heard about that had cookie dough in the center of them.  I was feeling a bit lazy so instead of making the cake and cookie dough from scratch I (guiltily) went to the store and bought a white cake mix and premade Pillsbury cookie dough. 
Here's what you do:

1.  Make your cookie dough.
2. Roll your cookie dough into small balls and put them in the freezer.
3. Once your cookie dough balls are frozen solid (about 2 hours), preheat your oven to 350.
4. Make your cake mix.
5. Line your cupcake pans with liners.
6. Fill your cupcake liners about 2/3's full.
7. Once you have filled your cupcake liners, put a cookie dough ball into each liner.
8. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until your toothpick comes out of the cupcake (not the cookie dough!) clean.

There are a couple of things that you can do to alter this recipe.  For example, I added peanut butter into about 1/2 of my cupcakes so that they were Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes.  I also added some vanilla icing topped with chocolate chips and (on the peanut butter ones) a little dollop of peanut butter.  These cupcakes are a bit "intense" so I also left some un-iced and people loved them!
Enjoy!

I have invested a pretty penny in really pretty, cool cupcake liners...the only problem is that I cannot seem to make the patterns show through post-baking!  It is so frustrating!  Any genius ideas?
