Split each box into two batches for a total of six, then add increasing amounts of dye little by little until you achieve the ombre effect. The Blushing Bride. Monkey cake. I’m pretty serious about birthday cakes.

When I think of someone being presented with some shortening spackled quarter sheet cake from a discount grocery chain on their birthday — a day they only get to celebrate once a year! Which is like forever if you’re a kid or perhaps the sort of grownup who didn’t get the memo that at the age of 34, birthdays are really not supposed to be a big deal anymore — it makes me sad. Not judgmental-sad, because lord knows I could barely eke out this cake on Saturday, and it’s supposed to be, like, my calling, but empathetic-sad because I totally blame lousy, intimidating recipes for making the two-layer + frosting task seem not worth it to go it at home. I hope to make it as easy as possible for everyone to get the fluffy, towering, butter-laden imperfectly frosted, slightly crooked homemade cake they deserve for making it through another year.

Or, perhaps, one’s entire life to date, for the first birthday set. Preheat oven to 350°F. Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake Recipe. Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Vanilla Sheet Cake. I love watching the reaction of my boys sampling my baked goods.

Caramel Walnut Brownies

Because I am about to share THE most requested recipe I have ever made. Never, in the history of my time in the kitchen, have I found a recipe that elicits such an overwhelming response as these. To make the recipe even sweeter, it is extremely simple to make. I've made it so many times in the last 13 years that I can almost whip up a batch of these Caramel Walnut Brownies with my eyes closed. There is a catch, though.

The mystery ingredient? I have unsuccessfully searched the aisles of grocery stores in 6 different states. The past 6 years I have had to order it in bulk from amazon.com.

Cinnamon Streusal Coffee Cake

Seriously- if you are a fan of cinnamon-y, crumbly, moist (sorry for the use of that word) and addicting coffee cake- look no further. I can tell you with all sorts of certainty that this is the best. (Wow- that sounds like a sales pitch.) What makes it so great you may ask? Well the original recipe is from King Arthur’s Flour- and their stuff is always good. The reason I wanted to make this coffee cake in the first place is that a friend had recently mentioned how good the cinnamon coffee cake is at Starbucks of all places.
