Playing house (and lots of cupcakes!)

Today, I have been prepping for the housewarming party I'm hosting tomorrow evening. When I moved into my first New York City apartment, I only had 3 friends here so I never even bothered. I'm so looking forward to celebrating my new home (and new beginnings!) with some of my closest friends and family. It's a teeny tiny apartment, so I'm just hoping that not everyone shows up at once!

I made it an 'open house' so that people can stop by as they please, and I imagine that many of my guests will either be coming from or heading to dinner. I'm serving a few of my favorite things...



(I served this at my birthday party as well and it was a big hit! I buy it by the case from Marketview Liquor... so delicious and what a deal!)




(These are less than 45 calories each and absolutely delicious. These appeal to me more than any other cupcake because they're so teeny tiny so you can have a few and try a variety. My favorite flavors are chocolate chip pancake and cinnamon. Yum!)



I promise to post apartment (and party!) photos next week. Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. I actually buy it because of the label...bad me as I used to work for a winery. Another one I can recommend is Lonely Cow - has a pretty green label and so refreshing (perfect with sushi): http://lonelycowwine.com/tasting_notes.php

    Have a great open house!

  3. Cupcake wine is my favorite! Hope the open house goes well! What a great way to celebrate your apartment.
