Last night we went to the Puces de Batignolles to cheers for Olivia’s birthday. It was magic and the most perfect, warm winter celebration.

The restaurant was filled with the most precious decorations and knick-knacks. I was completely in my element. Lovely Olivia invited all of her closest pals, and we celebrated her birth into this world and the continuously blossoming friendships over a few bottles of wine.

The venue was cozy and filled with so much life. The house wine and French nibbles were just fabulous…  I can’t wait to go back there.

Something about going out to cozy places in the winter is so charming to me. Bundling up to stroll along the lit streets while rubbing your hands together to keep them somewhat warm. Oh, winter…

This week I took my first ever cupcake class… and it was at Beauty Cakes!

Ruthy shared some of her secrets with us while we learned to make the traditional vanilla cupcake with milk chocolate icing. It was superb. With a few friends we popped on our pink Beauty Cakes aprons and attempted to make the most scrumptious cupcakes ever in Ruthy’s adorable Green Gate frenzy kitchen in her cupcake boutique in the 17th. It was such a wonderful evening filled with giggles and so much gosh darn sugar. I learned a lot of really fun and useful words.

The classes are in groups of 5-6 people, and there are specific nights designated for kids classes. This one was on a Tuesday night and started at 7pm. For 40 euros you get to learn how to make cupcakes, bring home your cupcakes that you make and decorate, and a petit snack/tea while the cupcakes are baking. It’s a fantastic time so I highly recommend it. Mille mercis, Ruthy!

I clearly have some kind of addiction to eating cupcakes.

For more info on Beauty Cakes and their cupcake classes (for kids and adults!!) check out their website, Facebook and Twitter.

Have you tried Sugar Daze cupcakes {former Little Miss Cupcake}?

Well, if you haven’t, you should probably order some because they are true American cupcakes with oodles of unique and scrumptuous flavors. My personal favorites are She Wore Lemon and Cotton Candy. Go on, I dare you, check out the menu on the site and you’ll have such a hard time deciding because they are all so gosh darn tempting and adorable! The icing that topple over these cakes are the cat’s pajamas…. it is unbelievably delicious.

Next time you crave a cupcake in Paris, find one of Sugar Daze’s. You can make your own personalized order 2-3 weeks in advanced! *Addiction*

…at one of my favorite places in Paris: Beauty Cakes! The only thing that can make a weekday off absolutely perfect is a cupcake. With Olivia!

Quite Continental Charm School…. I love the last one.

Classic women in frames.

I’m not a mom, but sure do love this post!

I am also craving some sugar cookies.

A Denverite with a darn good lookin’ recipe index!

This little treasure popped up in my searches for the 17th arrondissement. We decided to test it out for Caroline‘s going away dinner, since she needed something really French-ified. They have wonderful set menus and adorable little gazebos.
