Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread in a Bundt Pan

One of these friends decided to host a “Bundt Off”. Apparently there had been a discussion about what makes a bundt a bundt. They decided it would be appropriate to have a cooking contest that revolved around the bundt pan. The only rule for the competition was that whatever you made, it had to hold the shape of a bundt pan when turned out onto a plate. I searched through all my favorite blogs for bundt cake recipes and saw some great ones out there. I finally decided to combine two of my favorite breakfast foods into one bundt-tastic treat: The Cinnamon-Roll Monkey-Bread Bundt. Candy cane swirl cake. This is a story about a Candy Cane Swirl Cake that tasted better than it looked… {Don’t let the picture fool you…that is some creative photography…} I don’t really share my craft/cooking fails with you guys and I don’t want you to think that I never have any…cause believe me…I do.

Organize With Sandy. Have you heard of them? OMG… they are So good! What a great activity for the kids!

Vertical Layer Cake Tutorial. Chocolate and Buttercream Swiss Roll -DK. S’mores Cake. Ever since I had my first one, sitting in front of a roaring campfire with a semi-clean stick skewered with lots of toasting marshmallows, I have been a big fan of s’mores.

S’mores Cake

If I could go back in time, only thing I’d do differently now is to use a really clean skewer for my marshmallows, but when you’re camping and very young, you don’t tend to think about those things. I still like classic s’mores made with squares of milk chocolate, store bought graham crackers and jet puffed marshmallows. Now that my culinary skills are a little improved, however, I do like to experiment a little bit and see how I can get even more flavor out of my s’mores. Homemade graham crackers and homemade marshmallows are great examples of small changes. Monday Morning Mmmm: Pink Lemonade Cake — Giving Up on Perfect.

Cherry Cake with Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting

Last summer I canned some sour cherries for the first time and have quite a few jars left of the homemade cherry pie filling I made. I have always loved cherries, ever since I was a kid. Whether it was fresh sweet cherries straight from the bag or cherry pie desserts, didn’t matter to me. The Whimsical Cupcake.

Animal prints is something I never really got behind.

The Whimsical Cupcake

It was something that I only saw on 75 year old blue-haired ladies that are way cooler than me or on kids who looked like walking cheetahs. Not really the look I go for. Lately everywhere I look, there’s something with some form of animal print on it and I find myself liking it. Ok, not EVERYTHING but a few pieces here and there. I can probably attest some of this animal print tolerance to my sister, she’s so stylish sometimes that it kills me. ;) THE BEST Chocolate Cake. Ever! This is really the best, most moist, most rich, most chocolatiest cake I’ve ever made. I know there are other chocolate cakes out there that claim to be the best.

Strawberries and Cream Mug Cake

I’ve been a bit gung-ho with anything strawberry flavored lately so, after mastering several chocolate mug cakes, I decided to try and make a strawberries and cream mug cake. I loved the idea of a fruity flavored cake that would be delicious topped with fresh strawberries and cream this summer. Fortunately, several google searches pointed me in the direction of some great recipes and I got to work developing one of my own. What you see here is the result of several experiments and finally landing on what I hope is a great cake. My coffee mugs are kind of short and squat so this batter makes two mugs, but it would do well in one mug if it was taller than mine. 2 Stews: Cheesecake In A Mug. I was telling a friend about my 1-2-3 Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake and kept thinking there had to be equally easy and delicious alternatives.

2 Stews: Cheesecake In A Mug

I had some cream cheese and sour cream in the refrigerator and played around with a microwave cheesecake. The first time I overcooked it, but the second time was a charm. It was creamy and delicate from the first bite. This cake is great for people at work, in dorms or if you just want cheesecake...fast! My Cheesecake in a Mug, is so good and versatile that you can have a different topping each day...well, maybe each time you make it!
