Italian Cream Cupcake Recipe

Ok, so after meeting tonight I decided to procrastinate a little more! I made Italian cream cupcakes, and I want to share the recipe with all of you!

This recipe came from a bakery in Henderson, Texas. The lady never would give my grandmother the recipe; however, when the owner passed away her son gave it to my grandmother so the recipe would live on!

Mix well:
2 Cups sugar
½ Cups Crisco
½ cup oil
Add 5 egg yolks one at a time
Beat all together

In a separate bowl:
2 cups cake flour (sifted)
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup angel flake coconut
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Add into other mixture

Then fold in 5 egg whites stiffly beaten

For Cupcakes: Bake for 14-15 min @ 350, or until done
For Cake: Bake 25 min. @ 350 in 3 large pans

Icing:
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 stick of butter
1 box of powder sugar
1 ½ cups pecan pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sseko Sandals

Hey ladies!

If you like helping a great cause WHILE wearing adorable shoes, then you need to check out Sseko Sandals!

Sseko Sandals was started a little over a year ago in order to help Ugandan women our age pursue a college education. In Uganda, there is a nine-month gap period between high school graduation and college so that students can earn enough money for college. However, in the male-dominated community it is extremely difficult for women to find fair work. The women of the Cornerstone Leadership Academy, who are particularly bright and could contribute a great deal to their community, would usually be unable to afford college tuition and end up simply going back to their villages instead of pursuing a career.

Sseko Sandals gives these students an opportunity to earn and save money during that nine-month period to pursue a college education. The women make and sell these beautiful sandals and save the profits for their future education. As their website says “These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.”

With Sseko Sandals, you can buy multiple different ribbons that you thread through the soles to make literally dozens of different designs. These shoes are incredibly versatile, allowing you to express your own creativity through them. It’s like buying 10 cute sandals for the price of one pair of shoes. Who doesn’t like that?

Let’s make Sseko Sandals the new TOMS shoes and help out these women our age across the globe! If you would like to purchase a pair, or just want to learn more about this great organization (it is truly fantastic!), then check out their website: http://www.ssekodesigns.com/

Groovshark: A New Way to Listen and Buy Music

"Hey girls you HAVE to check out one of my favorite websites: http://www.grooveshark.com this is the best invention since Pandora. You can type in any song you want to listen to and listen to the whole song for FREE! But wait there's more! You can save playlists that you've made, you can find pre-made playlists, you can listen to their radio (that will play songs related to the one you picked like Pandora), AND you can buy the songs right off of Grooveshark into your iTunes, and you can upload songs from iTunes or other music libraries to expand your playlists. I absolutely love it, it's a great way to get a ton of variety of songs and make different playlists based on your mood without having to actually buy the songs. Check it out! Another website great for random playlists (especially for pump up songs on a Friday night) is fratmusic.com ... yes, KSIG boys did show me this surprised? haha Enjoy!

To the ladies of PC '07...

What a journey these four years have been! Thank you for all the memories and fun times we've shared. I remember our first Pearl Jam and stressing about what pajamas I was going to wear in front of 200 of my new best friends and today I stressed again about what I'd wear to Pansy Tea. How time has flown! Thank you for supporting me throughout my years at Baylor, I don't know what I would have done without y'all by my side.

Delta love, Molly

Need a Dress for Events??

Hello hotties!

There's this wonderful website:
http://www.renttherunway.com/
where you can rent designer dresses for a fraction of their original cost.

I'm renting my dress for formal! :)

How it works:
1. You go online, choose the dress and date you need it by.
2. And they overnight ship it to you.
3. You sent it back on the fourth day after recieving & you're good to go!

The website is free to be a part of, but it takes them a week or so to put you in the system in order to browse the site.

There are so many dresses of different styles and colors. Dresses perfect for any event.
To rent the dresses cost anywhere from $50-$250 plus shipping. & They also offer accessories.

If you have any questions let me know <3
