Well husband M's credit card was compromised last week. I just happened to go online last night and checked our balance and there were 2 unknown transactions on there $1500 in total...apparently manual transactions as opposed to electronic. We think they are able to copy the credit card number even if they bring those machines to your table! Well at least we caught it within a week of the transaction and the card was blocked. However there will be an investigation. Have you had your credit card compromised? It has happened to daughter L a few years back, and this is M's second time. It does make you go into panic mode.
Anyway, this post was just going to be on a more pleasant topic of cupcakes:
Daughter L's friend is headed off to Europe to finish her studies in medicine. Her friend threw a going away party and L decided to bake her some red velvet cupcakes in a Dr Seuss theme as it was the theme of the party. We were able to taste one, it was so moist and delicious! It was a buttermilk cream cheese type of icing with blue cotton candy on top. The trick with the cotton candy is that it has to be applied 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

I have not checked the bills like this. Need to be careful in all our transactions...
Hearing the cup cakes my mouth is watering to have them...
Sorry to hear about the credt card, we all need to be so careful these days. That cup cake looks sooooooooo goo! Valerie
What a great idea about the cupcakes. Arrrghhh about the credit cards though. That is so aggravating! Art was just saying he shouldn't just leave the bill with credit card information at the table for the waitress.
Sorry to hear about your credit card Christine!
Hope you get it all returned...
Why did you show that cake when I'm hungry?!
Now I feel like I must have one of these :))
Have a beautiful day

That is awful about the credit card. I'm sorry that happened. These things happen even when being so careful.
That cupcake looks great! What a lovely idea.
Oops! I hit the sign out instead of publish. I'll try to reconstruct what I said. My bank's VP also got her CC used - $1000 at McDonalds. Wouldn't you think McD would be suspicious??? We had our debit card used by someone who put a fake ATM thing at our bank. They caught them and put them in jail.
Sorry to hear that and hope they get those involved, as well as a refund.
Have a nice week!
Terrible that that happened to you guys. No, nothing this dramatic to us. Once someone tried to put a buck on our CC but I called it in and we got that fixed.
We learned that they bad people, will charge a dollar on accounts and see if it goes through and then when not caught, charge WAY more.
Wankers.
So far we haven't had that happen. I like that our credit card company alerts us if a large purchase is made before they approve it. That is a good check point, as we can say yes....we made that purchase.
Cup cakes look wonderful....I'll take the one in the picture.
Too bad about the credit card. That has happened to us, too.
Nice dessert, too pretty to eat.
Sorry to heard that Christine:)
looks just like thing 2
I'm sorry to hear about the credit card Christine. I'm glad you caught it early. The cupcake looks so delicious!
I've had two phone calls from the credit card companies asking me about odd purchases. One was definitely not mine--automotive supplies--and the other was mine--large expenses in two separate ares of the state when our daughter got married and we had to entertain the bridal party. I appreciated the calls both times. I do have a monitor on my credit now as my identity was stolen a number of years back and all sorts of credit cards and accounts were set up in my name. That is really scary.
