I love to bake. I am a novice baker who thinks the best way to spend her weekend is making something pretty to share (or.. more honestly.. they usually vanish before they get shared haha!). I am lucky to have a husband who puts up with the hours I spend trying to make a perfect cupcake.. Or dirties 200 dishes to make a cake. I have my three kitties that I love.. as well as my African grey parrot. I guess that is all… Enjoy the photos!Tumblr (3.0; @ashotofsugar)http://ashotofsugar.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/923198b5279edeabe169505e66b0cfec/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b85cf4a2d7ee48d32d3defc2f9b99832/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b97a96d6cec1db7482ed2eebeefde96e/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo9_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/065e07f2a2ecbe565417676471bf0720/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dc385b8da8ff908a0fc9eaba465e2083/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/06cde937ee2927e323fe7d1e5750ed81/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6e01c183fd992d21598dea5e3164424e/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo10_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fe31ade7016454221bd362206c5af932/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bd321fa3c4770474ddc24ea2d8764657/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cdf5172bef0026bb571dc2d8de19c077/tumblr_ml06n5SWgg1r06m1wo8_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://clype.tumblr.com/post/47557102145/how-animals-eat-their-food-this-is-my-fav-thing" class="tumblr_blog">clype</a>:</p> <blockquote><blockquote> <p><em><small>How Animals Eat Their Food</small></em></p> </blockquote> <p>this is my fav thing omg.</p></blockquote> <p>I know this isn’t about baking..
