– Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffanys
This beautiful little cupcake came to me from Caked Bakery for my oldest daughter’s birthday party. Rayana may be too old for the typical themed birthday parties with cake and ice cream, but never too old for me to make her day special. … read more about the party here.

Capturing that real Tiffany blue color is difficult, as most printers will print a different color than what is shown on Tiffany’s website. When I called the bakery, my question was whether or not they can achieve that actual Tiffany-blue color. Below is the difference between what I got with before and after photo color enhancing.
Actual icing color vs. color-enhanced photo
My advice for anyone wanting cupcakes with true Tiffany-blue colored icing is to approve the color ahead of time. And, if you can’t see a difference between the two photos above, then I may owe an apology to the baker for making a fuss.

I have a grandma- “Grams” whose name is Betty Jean. Grams was with me during those difficult years when Connor was so sick, and she helped take care of his twin sister, Cassidy. Now she visits us about once a month for a week.
Today, I helped Grams take photos of her latest creation- the Playing Cards Cozy. When Grams is here visiting, she’s always telling the latest stories of her friends at the Senior Center. Betty Jean has a close-knit group of friends, and- to listen to her talk about them- they sound like a gang from high school, like the Pink Ladies. They play cards two to three times a week ritually while they snack on food they’ve each brought to share.
Hours of card playing over the years has caused cramps in Grams’ fingers, so she created her Playing Cards Cozy. Immediately, she was the trendy girl at the Senior Center with her fancy colorful card organizer, and all of her friends wanted one. Now, they’re like the coveted Pink Ladies jackets- only their gang has them and everyone else is envious. If you have a “Grams” in your life who could use a Playing Cards Cozy, you can find them in her Etsy Shop called “Betty Jean’s Boutique“.
And I just had to share the photos because I think they’re adorable. That’s my Grams!
Playing Cards Cozy
Stay tuned, because Betty Jean has promised to show me step-by-step how to make this adorable craft to post for all of my DIY friends out there!

It’s my “summer feel without the grill” recipe.
Actually, my recipe for Burger Blankets comes directly from my mother. Growing up in Southern California, she loved to make this fun version of the classic American burger.
She pounded out buttermilk biscuits from a canister to use as the blanket and filled them with cheese and onions (optional), so when they baked in the oven, the cheese melted all around the beef and onions. She also used a fork to engrave the ingredients in each one before they baked. So, the ones with just cheese had a big “c” on top.
We never had a name for them though. She would call them “burger biscuits”, but that didn’t really sound like a name-name to me.
So, when I included Mom’s recipe in my Weekly Meal Plan I decided to appropriately name them “Burger Blankets”. They’re really more like “burger sleeping bags”, but that didn’t flow. Get Mom’s recipe here:

Served with a tri-color pasta salad with fresh grape tomatoes, this feels like a perfect summertime family dinner.
