We Are Having A Party!
You Are Invited!
Christopher Moore Salon
Official Grand Opening!
So we've been thinking, (we do that a lot around here) with the opening of the new salon and how fabulous our clients are, we should celebrate!
We would be over the moon if you could join us!
Please be our guest and enjoy an evening of celebration with us.
It's an Open House so to speak... so pop in!
The party will go from 6 PM to 9 PM on Friday May 30Th.
We'll celebrate, have some amazing prizes and other goodies.
(We're having fun already just planning this party)
It wouldn't be the same without you... so mark your calendar!
after all...
You are the ones that make CMS special.
See you at the Grand Opening!
We can't wait!
It's Spring!
Pack Up Those Winter Blues
(we think a new "do" is just the ticket)
We are so ready to jump into spring! New color, new cut...
(nothing crazy or maybe ; ) mani's, pedi's, brow design (yes we can lift them to new heights) and our fabulous waxing services. (Ahem, summer is coming).
Oh! And have you updated your spring makeup look? Yes, all the above should change just like your spring wardrobe.
Sooo, we were thinking (no April fools here) what better way to put a little "spring" into one's step than with an appointment at Christopher Moore Salon!
We promise to banish those winter blahs into a round of applause. Spring is here and so are we... ready to"highlight" your look. Simply gorgeous.
Ready? We just love springing ahead. You will too!
Here is your CMS spring itinerary:
Call us: 856.553.6153
Tell us what you want and we book your trip to us.
Then just jet on over.
Welcome to your world of beauty.
Ahhh spring.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patty's Day!
It's been a wonderful start with the opening of the new salon!
We can't thank you all enough for your following, support and
well wishes.
We are having a blast there and can't wait to celebrate even more when we have our official grand opening!
(stay tuned... more news to come about that soon)
We love the responses we are getting about the new space... warm, comfortable, beautiful and chic.
Well, that actually describes our clients...
it was designed to appreciate you.
As we have often said, you are our inspiration.
So cheers to you our friends!
And thank you!
Here's a little Irish recipe
(cupcakes of course)
to make your day a little more scrumptious.
See you at the salon!
Shamrock Milkshake Cupcakes
what.. what!
yep.
Ingredients
4
egg whites
2
cups all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon baking powder
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
cup buttermilk or sour milk*
1/4
cup green creme de menthe** or 1 tsp of mint extract
1/2
cup shortening
1 3/4
cups sugar
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
recipe White Chocolate Frosting
Green food coloring
Directions
- Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line twenty to twenty-two 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup combine the buttermilk and the creme de menthe or green food coloring. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture to shortening mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until mixture is combined. Or just get vanilla cupcake mix and add the mint, milk and green food coloring... just say'in.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out batter in cups.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from muffin cups. Cool completely on wire racks.
- Divide White Chocolate Frosting between two bowls. Tint one portion with green food coloring. Spoon each frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe white and green frostings onto tops of cupcakes to resemble four-leaf clovers or just slather it on.
- Makes 20 to 22 (2-1/2 inch) cupcakes.
From the Test Kitchen
note: always test the icing
we test it
and then lick the spoon just to be sure : )*Test Kitchen Tip:
For each 1 cup sour milk, place 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar in a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to make 1 cup total liquid; stir. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
**Test Kitchen Tip:
If you prefer not to use creme de menthe and prefer the kid friendly version (just as yummy), substitute a mixture of 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon mint extract, and several drops green food coloring.
White Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients
1
cup butter, softened
6
ounces white baking chocolate with cocoa butter, chopped
1/3
cup whipping cream
1 1/2
cups powdered sugar
Directions
- Place white baking chocolate in a large mixing bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan heat whipping cream just until simmering. Pour over white baking chocolate; let stand, without stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth; let stand for 15 minutes. Gradually beat butter into melted white chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium to high speed, beating until combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until frosting reaches piping or spreading consistency. Makes 3-1/2 cups if there is any left in the bowl. Oh, and yep we put some green and white m&m's under them to serve.

Dark chocolate cupcakes with Red Velvet Icing
(no, we're not kidding)
Okay Valentine ready?
Let's bake!
YIELD: 24 CUPCAKES
PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES (ACTIVE TIME)
COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES
Chocolate Cupcake Recipe - Red Velvet Frosting - Chocolate Yummy Words
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Gold Medal Flour
- 2/3 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. instant coffee granules
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 10 Tb. unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- or if you are us... forget all that and get a box of dark chocolate cupcake mix ; )
For the Red Velvet Frosting:
- 1 lb. unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 5 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 6-8 cups powdered sugar
- Red food coloring
For the Chocolate Garnishes:
- 1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate candy melts
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line muffin tins with 24 paper liners. Sift all dry ingredient together. Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer, until light and fluffy. Set the mixer to the lowest setting and add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet, until the batter is smooth.
- Fill the liners half full and bake for 15-20 minutes—until the cake springs back when touched. Remove the cupcakes from the tins and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Then pour the chocolate in a squirt bottle (or piping bag with a small tip) and pipe cursive or connected words onto wax paper. Keep them small so they fit on top of the cupcakes, and write more words than needed, in case a few break. Allow the chocolate words to dry completely before peeling off the wax paper.
- For the frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl, and beat in the buttermilk, salt, cocoa, and vanilla. Slowly add the powdered sugar until your desire thickness is reached. Then beat in red food coloring until the frosting is as dark as you want it. I used almost 2 teaspoons.
Now for the lovey dovey chocolate words
more yumminess com'in at ya (can you stand it)
- Okay, this is a very simple garnish.
Melt chocolate and pour into a squirt bottle or piping bag with a small tip. Then lay wax paper out on your counter top and write connected words like: Love, Hugs, Kisses, Smooch, XO's, You+Me, Swoon, Cutie, and so on.
Make sure to write more words than needed, because some will break when you pick them up.Once the chocolate hardens, peel the wax paper off the back and place them on top of the frosted cupcakes.
And... Wa la! You have decadent, eat your heart out (literally... amazing Valentine cupcakes to share with your lovies.
Happy Valentines Day from us to YOU!
Hugs and Smooches!
Don't forget to hit the heart and like us here for some extra xo's!

Are you ready for the big chill? Neither are we. But if we have to face the elements there is no better way than to look completely fabulous. In-depth shades of color for hair, the precision shape and a, make you drop your jaw, style guiding you glamorously through any winter storm this year.
Plan accordingly.
Think deep rich hues, sophisticated yet not to complicated. Envision a smart, direct execution of a sharp cut that separates you, yet defines you. Wrap this together in one pretty little package and you have sensational. Winter will never see you coming but everyone else will.
