California Bans Teens from Tanning Beds

California minors under the age of 18 aren’t allowed to use tanning beds anymore. This week, the state’s Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law to prevent children and teens under 18 from using tanning beds, the Washington Post reports. Although Texas has banned the use of tanning beds for children under 16, California is the first state to set a higher age limit, which will go into effect as of January 1, 2012. Here's to hoping this is the first step on the way to the end of tanning beds!

Crumbs Cupcake of the Month - April 2011

Crumbs Bake Shop original Cherry Blossom Cupcake

Crumbs Bake Shop, originally located in New York City, has THE BEST cupcakes. Literally. Over the summer I forced my friend Lauren to walk seventeen extra blocks just to get to the Bake Shop. And it was definitely worth it. 

Every month Crumbs chooses a different original cupcake to be the Cupcake of the Month. This month the cupcake is Cherry Blossom, vanilla cake filled with cherry preserves, topped with our signature vanilla cream cheese frosting mixed with cherries and a candied cherry.
