If you’ve been reading Something Pretty since summer, you know about my fun summer job–working at Gigi’s Cupcakes! I’m back there helping out during this busy holiday season, so for this week’s Weekly Sweet, I thought I’d show off a few of my favorite new holiday flavors. Gigi’s is the biggest cupcake franchise in America, and […]

It might be the hardest thing ever to keep December Weekly Sweets weekly, rather than, well, daily. There are just too many tasty treats out there that are perfect for winter! I’ll be pinning all my favorite ideas on my “Holidays” board on Pinterest, so if once a week just isn’t enough (it sure isn’t […]

I spent last weekend in chilly Cincinnati with my boyfriend, and one of our favorite things to do together is cook. He is an amazing chef, and I’m slowly getting better, but we make a pretty great team in the kitchen! On a grocery shopping trip to get ingredients for one of our dinners, I […]

Happy Friday! It finally feels like fall here in Austin, which is good, because I am definitely in holiday mode!

Now, thanks to some seriously gorgeous cakes and talented bakers/artists I’ve […]

Can I just whine for a second and say that midterms are even worse when you’re a college senior suffering from senioritis…all while knowing that you’re staying for a fifth year of school? My gosh, if y’all have any motivation tips, please share because I need them! :P This weekend, I plan to celebrate finishing […]

Oh my goodness. This weekly sweet looks too good to be true! Y’all know of my aversion to pumpkins at fall weddings (with the exception of these and these), but I have never once said anything against pumpkin desserts! Especially if they’re these… {Pumpkin Macarons} Enjoy them at: an elegant, French vintage-style wedding in the […]
