I Like My Coffee Black Just Like My Metal....

(Yeah, that's a lie, but a good line from an old song...)

This post is all about metal...in that friendly way! We had an awesome visit with Brad's sister and her little girl.

First let me start with us...somehow all in black on an antiquing Saturday...posing in front of the Downtown Lounge. It was hoppin' at 10:00 a.m. ;)

And now, the metalest sibs ever...my honey and his sis at one of our favorite breakfast places. These two have quite some stories to tell! 


Here's me and the adorable metal-ette.



In honor of our super family visit, I made some Black Metal Cupcakes to harken back to these guys' wild rock-n-roll days. The inspiration came from Metalcakes.



These are the chocolate cupcakes and chocolate frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.

I bought silver liners, black food dye, and silver dragees to really do it up. They were yummy and all kinds of metal! Grrrr!

Still time to enter that giveaway!!

I LOVE those cupcakes! I must track down some of those skull-n-crossbone flags. My dad's pretty metal, and he's a biker. So those would be perfect for Father's Day cupcakes!

I think those flags were from Michael's craft store a long time ago.

Awesome! That's a great idea I may have to use for my son's birthday next year since he loves metal!
