Edible Halloween Land: Chocolate Castle, Buckeye Lake, Mummy Meadow, & more

My most ambitious project to date. I was fairly happy with how it turned out despite the fact it wasn’t perfect. Is anything ever perfect?While it looks fabulous, the average person’s reaction is probably: “I do NOT have days to dedicate to this.” Understandable. If it looks too large, you can pick part and re-make that. Trust me, if you break it into… Read More

Devil’s Food Cake Bites

In honor of celebrating National Devil’s Food Cake Day (May 19th), I decided to make some more cake bites! Back to our Devil’s Food Cake. The origin of the term “Devil’s Food Cake” is varied.

However, the recipe that accompanied the picture was horrible. But never fear, I have the best cinnamon roll recipe in the world (And you don't even want to know how many... Read More

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

This is now my go-to frosting: I use it for cake pops, my Red Velvet White Chocolate Cheesecake, and anything I’m “testing” for the first time. The part I’m... Read More

Peanut Butter S’mores Bark

In my current baking adventures, I agreed to contribute food to a party that had a camping theme (long story). There were plenty of s'mores related recipes on Pinterest, but they were all bar and brownies and sticky stuff. Since we were eating buffet style (plus might not have enough seating), I wanted something a little less messy. And more... Read More

On my continuing quest for the perfect cake pop, I decided to make Reindeer Pops for Christmas. I learned a ton working on this batch of cake pops. But first of all…don’t they look kind of cute? Husband says they look like scared reindeer…but I think they look like cute, startled ones. And just one close-up with his friends behind... Read More
