One more after the jump…
Very seldom do I show an unfinished product… until now:

Dressed up cupcakes and their respective recipes after the jump…

I’ve been issued a challenged by my friend to make a ColecoVision cake for his birthday which is in about 3 months. Good sir, you will eat your words… and said ColecoVision cake.
This is the story of Mrs. Fields Best Cookie Book Ever!, at least from my perspective. Call it a peek into my childhood; the door to my evitable passion for baking…
This book was the first cookie cookbook I purchased. I was still in high school and I had skipped my Science in Society class just because. Anyway, I went to the Chapters with my then boyfriend and I bought this book. It was odd because, quite frankly, I wasn’t really into baking at the time. What probably appealed to me was that I had tried a Mrs. Fields cookie once while in another city (my hometown did not have Mrs. Fields anywhere) and vowed it was the only store-bought cookie (save for the Oreo cookie) that I would ever eat.
After 10 years, this book still remains my go-to cookie book.
