Caden has a birthday coming up soon, June 6, to be exact. Yes, it has flown by, just as everyone said it would.

While looking for different birthday cake pans, I ran across this Mega-Cupcake pan that I thought was lots of fun. I think it would be a creative birthday cake, but it isn’t the one we decided to use (at least this year) and yes you will have to wait for a future blog to see the pan we decided to use for his first birthday).

A fun idea I would like to try with this pan, however, would be to place plastic wrap in one side of it (I would probably use the top), fill it with ice cream (soften), then refreeze. Once it has harden, pull it out of the wrap (dip the bottom of the pan in warm water if it doesn’t want to release) and wrap it back up good with the plastic wrap and put the ice cream back in the freezer. Next, make cake in the other 1/2 of the pan. After it is done and cooled, well you should get the picture by now, put it together and you have an ice cream cupcake

I have been thinking for some time of adding a food/kitchen category on my blog. Not that I write enough to have a bunch of categories, something about that 10 month old keeps me from making time to write more, but I constantly run across fun food facts, gadgets, and gizmos that are fun.

If you know me very well, and I’m guessing you do, because you are reading my blog, You know that I love computers (not to be confused with working on them), I love to cook, and I love gadgets (what man doesn’t?)

Today, while researching mother’s day gifts, I ran across a number of fun products that I liked and decided to revisit this idea of a food/kitchen category, if for no other reason than to bookmark them in one location for myself. 🙂 I’m linking to where I found them so in case you think they are cool also and want more details, you have a location and you don’t have to Google to find the item.

So here is my first item, since I’ve had a kidney stone or two, three, four, (ok I stopped counting after the fourth), I limit my in-take of coffee to 3 cups a day. With this cup, it looks like I could have them all at once.
