Reese’s Nutella Cookies & Wildflower Half Ironman Race Report

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Sarah Bowes-Pope

About two weeks ago, Alex competed in his first half Ironman. For those if you who don’t know what this entails let me give you the numbers. The race is 70.3 miles long, first off is a 1.2-mile swim, followed by a 56-mile bike ride. Then to top it all off you finish with a half marathon (13.1-miles). To make it even more insane he completed the Wildflower half Ironman, said to be the hardest one, which evolved crazy hills and camping before and after. Here is what he wrote on his experience: Continue reading →

I have gotten a little distracted with my everyday life and have not had a chance to post. I wanted to make sure I got these cupcakes up before St. Patrick’s Day because they would make a great themed treat!

“Purple” Red Velvet Cupcakes

I love making cupcakes but I know if they are sitting around our house I will eat every last one of them. So the rule is that I can only make cupcakes when we have a party, go to a party or I bring them into work. Last weekend we happened to host Alex’s Team in Training triathlon team’s half way party, so that for me translated into being able to make cupcakes! Continue reading →

Groundhog Day Cupcakes

Happy Groundhog Day… well, a month late but better than never.

Every year a group of our friends throws a Groundhog Day party. This party includes a talent portion. Talents range from dancing and sing to prank joke calls all having a groundhogs day theme. This year my talent was cupcake making. As you can see from the pictures I made a little groundhog popping out of some of my cupcakes. They turned out to be a hit and a very yummy one at that.
