    Valentine's Day is in less than a week! Eeeek! I'll preface this by saying that although my name is indeed Valentina, my birthday is not on Valentine's day. Sorry to disappoint 😉 To make it up to you, I've made some small batch Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes today! Okay, so technically it's more of a strawberry milk cupcake recipe, but I felt like calling them strawberry milk flavored sounded weird so... milkshake it is. Have to keep up my aesthetic, ya know 😉 These little babies are so simple and fast to whip up, and they taste just like a rich and creamy glass of strawberry milk(shake). They're perfect for your Valentine!

    pumpkin chocolate chip bundt bites | The Baking Fairy

    I have a blog? Who, me? Sorry, y'all. I was swamped at my new job, and then I was out of town in Mexico for a week {you can creep all over my Instagram if you want to see more about that}, and then I came back and alas, swamped at work once again. But now I'm back! And since it's September, I decided it was acceptable to break out the pumpkin. It's kind of embarrassing, because I have a little blog brainstorming notebook where I write all my recipe ideas, and I've been meaning to make these pumpkin chocolate chip bundt bites since last fall. Awk. Well, better late than never, right?
