SWEET PATTI CAKES

I've really been slacking on my blog :( But... but... I have a good reason, I promise!

Basically, I've been baking my face off. Cupcake'ing my face off. Whatever you want to call it. Get familia - SweetPattiCakes.

Yes peeps, I meant to leave out the "r". Lots more to come, but for now checkity check Twitter and Facebook; please "follow" and "like" - thank you!! Xoxo.

Moonshadows, Malibu

Another, "Buh-bye see you later" meal... This time, in our 'hood. Location: Moonshadows.

After appetizers, the sun decided to lower into the horizon making for a naturally dimmer main course...

Coral Tree Cafe, Brentwood

Another, "Buh-bye see you later" meal... This time, with Corde in her 'hood. Location: Coral Tree Cafe.

I guess our "see you later" turned out to be "later" than planned... We are literally switching continents for the exact same duration on the exact same week in August. #badtiming

Umami Urban

"Buh-bye see you later" dinner with Meg at Umami Urban aka the Space 15 Twenty location.

It really is see you later... See you in Vegas soon purty lady! Xoxo.

The Beachcomber Cafe

The Beachcomber: Another great place in Malibu to just chillax and get good grub. Doesn't seem to have the "it" factor like Duke's does, but I feel like it still has potential to do its own spin on Taco Tuesday - or something similar of the sort.

Someone, anyone - I can't for the life of me remember the name of the goblet drink (pictured below). I want to say it's called The Hurricane...?! HELPPPPP.

Taco Tuesday

So it's a Tuesday night in Los Angeles... I'm guess'timating that a lot of my friends are at Taco Tuesday's over at Duke's in Malibu. Mmm, fish tacos are so good there! Here are piccies from my last Taco Tuesday before I moved :)

SusieCakes

I know I bake my own cupcakes, but there's no way I'm going to forget about all the lovely cupcakes that have inspired me...

London Bear

Have you ever seen Cupcakes Take the Cake's Dog + Cupcake series? It's so adorable, each week they post a cute doggie posing with a cupcake... Here's my attempt: Patti + Dog + Cupcake.

In Malibu, I lived down the street from thee cutest Alaskan Malamute. Meet London Bear. Their owners - who are conveniently my friends - would always get freshly baked treats from yours truly. London, on the other hand, would just watch and wish for his own. Well, one day I made his wish come true... I like to think so, at least. I got him a Doggie Cupcake from Sprinkles; made with unbleached flour, eggs, honey, vanilla and yogurt frosting. They're specially made for our four-legged friends :) I really hope he enjoyed his little treat - he gobbled in up in a split second!
