Words that should be banned

I've always been strangely freaked out by certain words and I've found that list growing as of late. Believe me this doesn't even scratch the surface. And I promise you, if something (particularly cake) is ever presented as super moist, I will not eat it. Not even a crumb. And moist towlettes? Forget about it. Are there any words that make you want to throw up in your mouth a bit? Or am I the only crazy pants? Clearly I have a ton and when you put them all in a sentence, the grossness is astronomical. But if I know you and you use these words, I promise not to judge.

Rooftops and Cake Pops

Over the weekend, we had yet another little get together on our roof deck and I must say, that little spot is fast becoming my favorite place EVER in the history of placedom.

I made cake pops and French Gimlets (fabulous combo by the way) and we partied amongst gorgeous views all night long. It was all sorts of heaven. So today, while I still have visions of sweet treats and sunny views bouncing in my head, I thought it would be fun to pass along my favorite cake pop recipe along with some gorgeous rooftop sanctuaries that I am currently coveting. 

My go-to is Bakerella's Cake Pops and for this fête, I simply switched out the cake flavor for Funfetti Cake and vanilla frosting then smothered those babies in white chocolate, added a splash of rainbow sprinkles and voilà. Totally vegan I promise.

Now on to roof decks...
