USC Cupcakes

As a USC alum, the Spirit of Troy is always within and waiting to be shared. When I found out a very talented girl from our ‘hood had been accepted to the USC School of Cinematic Arts I had to jump into … “ACTION“!

Believe me, we are going to see big things from her in the future. Like red carpet Oscar stuff and I’ll be able to say, ” I knew her when she ate my cupcakes!” And she’ll say, “what?” and I’ll tell everyone I know! 🙂

She is already quite a cinematographer and has made films with her own production company in high school! Is this amazing or what? I’m so impressed with her passion and focus and USC is very fortunate to have her join their ranks.

It’s my pleasure to welcome her into the Trojan Family and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors!

Fight On!

Tailgate!

A house divided with tailgate togetherness. Menu ~ *Chicken Curry Wraps Lentil Salad Team Colored Chips Grapefruit Margaritas *Vanilla Bean Cupcakes We kept the menu easy and disposable so we could go directly from the campus to the stadium. Since the filling for the Chicken Curry Wraps was a beautiful Trojan golden color, I found red tortillas to use for the wraps and cardinal and gold sandwich picks. Oh, yes I did! I made yellow cake cupcakes with vanilla bean… [Read More]
