Four And A Half Hours Later

By 37 Comments

At 8:00 this morning, the alarm went blaring off in my ear, which meant that it was time to get movin’. I had lots to get done!

But four and a half hours later…

And I will forewarn you right now…when the recipe comes your way, just know…

They are not healthified in the slightest.

Which, in turn, meant that one 5-4-3-2-1 Treadmill Routine was accomplished…

And now I’m ready to par-tayy!

Questions for the Day:

Are you more productive in the mornings or afternoons?

What is your favorite treat to bake?

  2. I love baking granola because it is so quick and easy, & when I have lots of time, I love making something that requires kneading dough :). As for cupcakes, I love frosting them :).

  4. I'm extremely productive in the morning and then I hit my wall around 1 pm. By 6 pm, I get a second wave of productive energy. My favourite thing to bake is definitely cupcakes. But these totally blow mine out of the water! Those cookie dough cupcakes are to drool for.

  5. Beautiful cupcakes! I can often be productive in the morning, but since I am not a morning person, it rarely happens. I usually get the productive bug later at night, which I usually take advantage of. I love to bake anything that is sweet!

  7. Those cupcakes look delicious! Especially the cookie dough ones! I'm most productive in the morning. Once lunchtime rolls around I lose all productivity, which is quite unfortunate.

  9. Amazing! All of your amazing cupcakes together... if I was at that cookout I would need to be carried out because I would have to eat one of each! Lol... I am most productive in the morning, I become sluggish anytime after 2 PM My favorite thing to bake are cupcakes just because they're so cute and fun to decorate!

  10. Wow, they are the cutest cupcakes! I could eat frosting like that all day! I'm usually most productive in the morning but that begins to taper off before lunch :) I love to bake anything really, but lemon cupcakes are probably my favourite as I can have them in the oven in less than 10 minutes!

  18. I am defo more productive in the morning! I was up at 6.30 this morning and felt like I'd had a full day by 11am! I love it as it means afternoon naps are guilt free!

  19. Wow! You were a busy-bee. I think you could go into business making cupcakes that FAB! I love being productive in the morning! My fourth has been much more relaxing... Check it out: http://dinnersanddates.blogspot.com/2011/07/happy-holiday-weekend.html

  23. I have more energy at night, but I feel like if I get my run in, in the morning then I can be more productive (cause sometimes I lose motivation throughout the day, but once energy is gained at night - if I can wait that long - then I can get some moves in then!). My fave, fave, fave dessert would be vanilla cake or cupcakes. I think ever since I got married and missed having a slice of wedding cake (other than the tiny sliver my husband fed me), I've loved cake. It's like my one thing I would love to have (as long as it's really good cake) if I had to choose a treat!

  24. Whoa... hello Martha Stewart!!! Very impressive work! To answer your question, I'm always more productive in the morning. I can get up early, get a ton of stuff done, and then crash in the afternoon just in time to watch reruns of "Say Yes to the Dress." ;) Priorities, right?!

  34. The cupcakes all look delicious! Btw, I saw a cupcake stand at the farmer's market this weekend and thought of you. People would totally line up to buy your creations! Have you ever thought of selling at a market?

  35. Even though I am not a morning person, I tend to be more productive during the early hours of the day. Where do you come up with these recipes for your cupcakes? They all look so yummy! I actually made your chocolate pb cupcakes for my co-workers. They were an instant hit and one co-worker even asked me to make more!
