Speedy Gonzales and Mexican Themed Cupcakes

I made a dozne of Speedy Gonzales and Mexican themed cupcakes in the past weekend.  This cupcake order was personal to me, Mr. G and Mr. G's family because it's an order request from Mr. G's cousin for their grandpa G (grandpa G used to be called Speedy Gonzales by his coworkers and friends). 

I have heard so many wonderful things about grandpa G - a very hard-working man, a loving husband, dad and grandpa, an extremely socialable person, a funny guy.  Also, a man could make friends everywhere he went; a man could talk to anyone from the President of the United States to the least important person in the world; a man could tell a lively story...

Unfortunately, I have never got a chance to meet the healthy grandpa G since I have came to the family.  However, everytime we went to visit him, I could see from his eyes and smile that he was so happy to see his family and his grandchildren.  It looks like he remembered the good old times he had with everyone - Drinking with his family, telling stories to his grandchildren, party-ing with everyone, dancing with grandmom G, traveling with the family - I could tell he still remembers the countless unforgetable happy moments in his life!

Cupcakes costed certain amount of money, but seeing this face eating the cupcake is priceless!

"Mood and Cravings"

Everyone gets a craving for certain foods now and then. Sometimes, you crave for sweet, sometime salty, sometimes soft, sometimes tough...but do you know your cravings are tied to you mood?!

Recent research shows what many of us knew all along: Our moods dictate what we eat. Researchers studied the diets of hundreds of people to show how personality and foods collide—how our moods may steer us to certain foods, based on their physical characteristics. The study theorized that many moods send specifics signals (for example, stressed adrenal glands could be sending salt-craving signals).

So what does your favorite turn-to food say about you?

If you crave tough foods, like meat, or hard and crunchy foods, you could be feeling angry.

If you crave sugars, you could be feeling depressed.

If you crave soft and sweet foods, like ice cream, you could be feeling anxious.

If you crave salty foods, you could be stressed.

If you crave bulky, fill-you-up foods, like crackers and pasta, you could be feeling lonely and sexually frustrated.

If you crave anything and everything, you could be feeling jealous.

So what are you craving for today?
