Kirby Cupcakes

Watch out, Metaknight! Hell suck you right up!

Watch out, Meta Knight! He'll suck you right up!

Inspired by the latest creation over at Snack or Die, I decided to spend part of my Saturday afternoon making these adorable Kirby cupcakes. My version is slightly different, as I use white cake instead of strawberry, and mine also have frosting. Both the cake and frosting are colored with 3 drops of neon pink food coloring.

All You Need is GEEK

NY Comic Con

NY Comic Con

Lennon and McCartney may have believed that “all you need is love”. Whether or not that may be true, what I learned last weekend at the New York Comic Con is “all you need is geek”…

My first Comic Con turned out to be everything I had hoped for and more.

I just pre-ordered my copy of The Sims 3, and it can’t possibly get here soon enough. I shelled out the extra 20 bucks for the Collectors Edition, which isn’t even really that much cooler, but I’ve been a sucker for The Sims since day 1, and I just felt like I needed to have it. (Plus, who doesn’t want a Plumbob USB keychain?)

I’ve been pumped about The Sims 3 pretty much since the The Sims 2, and I hoped and prayed that they would one day make an even better, cooler edition of this game. My prayers were answered, and in 15 days, I’ll finally get to play!

It sounds like EA really worked hard on TS3, made some absolutely necessary changes, and I’ll definitely be posting a review once I can pull myself away from playing. :D

It’s a shame I don’t get paid vacation, or else I’d definitely take a week off to play!
