Hi there, how are you?  I’m pretty good.  It’s been a long week.  But you know what? It’s now officially the weekend.  Woot woot.

This week’s roundup is just a quickie… in case you’ll be watching the Kentucky Derby this weekend you’ll want to have one of these in your hand:

* Mint julep brownies with candied pecans from Noble Pig.  Bourbon and chocolate are two of my favorite things. How bad could it be?

* And these are lovely little cakes from Hostess blog: mint julep cupcakes.

If all of this mint and bourbon is not for you, here’s a “peanut butter cup” cupcake…
