Chocolate cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting seen on Nate Berkus Show

I really enjoy watching the Nate Berkus show. I usually watch it later because I TVO it. This segment was Sophie LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis of Georgetown Cupcake share their recipe for Chocolate Cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. I have to tell you they are to die for. So glad they were willing to share their recipe. I would highly suggest making the recipe. My husband thought they were wonderful! Best compliment I had in ever making any kind of cakes or cupcakes. I know my cupcakes don't look at perfect as theirs but still the great taste. My hats of to those two sisters!

Decorah, Iowa Live bald eagle Nest cam

I have been watching this off and on and really enjoying watching the bald eagles babies hatch. They still have one egg left to hatch. Watching the parents feed the babies is interesting as well as them taking care of switching off the nest. The cam is usually on 24/7. Hopefully you will enjoy this too.
