Tanja's Cupcakes ― When I was looking for a job for the summer of 2011, I was hoping for something that didn't involve waiting tables or making beds. I put all my hobbies into the application, including baking, but I never even dreamed about actually getting a job as ...

Tanja's Cupcakes ― Seven days of New York City later I packed my bags (including the newly bought huge gray suitcase) and somehow made it to Boston. And when I say somehow, I mean it. All my luggage put together was heavier than me, the hostel had no elevator and...

Tanja's Cupcakes ― Have I ever mentioned how I feel about Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? ∙ Well, I LOVE them. I bought one hundred of them just to survive until I can get someone to fly to the States and get me some more. ∙ There are none left. ∙ ...
Tanja's Cupcakes ― After three and a half months of my summer work in the bakery, it was finally time to pack my bags and travel to New York City. ∙ Going to New York City from New Hampshire is a long journey (that is, if you're eco-friendly, or in other ...

Tanja's Cupcakes ― Every once in a while, I start thinking about high (also high in cholesterol, but let's not make it the main point here...), rich cakes. I'm talking about those monster cakes, like 5 layers high. You can see them on blogs everywhere; so moist,...

Tanja's Cupcakes ― Challenges like this aren't really my favorite. I prefer baking cakes which require frostings, glazes and lots of cream! Dry cakes are more my mother's style. But, it's a challenge and I had to make it. It looks a lot like one of the previous...

Tanja's Cupcakes ― I'm 20 years old and I haven't watched Breakfast at Tiffany's yet. Shame on me! However, I do know what Tiffany & Co gift boxes look like (which girl doesn't?). I wouldn't mind getting one... Anyway, back in December, when I was in London, I...
