Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake
I never ate cake until I was 8 or 9 years old. But I sure ate a lot of frosting! I was that kid at birthday parties who hopped up and down when the corner piece – the one with the profuse amount of frosting flourishes – was being passed out.
Candy Corn Cupcakes
Candy corn colors just have that October feel… and when you put them in a dark chocolate cupcake they scream Halloween! This is a quick method that results in an aesthetically pleasing treat fot the holiday. What you need:
Making Life Delicious &8482;
When I was young and poor, before Jimmer and I got married, we used to entertain ourselves by spending hours in used book stores. Jimmer would search for underpriced collectable books and I would get comfy in the cookbook section. A house, two kids, a cat and a dog later, our lives are quite scheduled. We hardly ever have time for browsing, but a few weeks back we found ourselves in the stacks once again. I made one purchase, a cookbook called “The Great American Bake Sale.”
Purple Ombre Mini Cakes
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to create a special dessert that would be perfect to honor Moms. I made a Pink Ombre Swirl Cake last summer, and have been wanting to make another pretty ombre (layered color) cake ever since. This time, instead of one large cake, I made several mini cakes. I also left the outside unfrosted, to reveal the pretty layered colors of the cake itself. Purple is often a color I think of for Moms, and it’s one of my favorites as well.
raspberry buttermilk cake
As you may have guessed, I have a serious soft spot for everyday cakes.* I call them Dinner Party Cakes. Or Potluck Cakes. Or I Heard You Were Coming and So I Baked You a Cake, cakes. Or If You Bake a Cake, The People Will Come cakes, as a fresh-from-the-oven cake has a way of drawing friends around your coffee table on an otherwise blah Monday night. Home baked goods are magical like that.
Sixlets Cake for a Blog Birthday, and a Giveaway!
One year ago I was baking up a scratch-made confetti cake for this blog's first birthday. Not only was it fun to make - in a fling-sprinkles-everywhere kind of way - it was incredibly well received. Many of you made your own version and sent me pictures of the happiest faces behind lit candles, which makes me more than a little teary as I type this.
Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookie Caramel Brownies
OMG! It's been awile since I made something new and especially a cake from scratch. It's also been awhile since I've raved about a dessert.

Triple-Lemon Blueberry Layer Cake
Happy Wednesday! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day with all of your lovies. I woke up yesterday morning, with a sudden and unrelenting need for sunshine–in any form. For what I think was the first time, rather than craving a particular food (or ingredient), I was craving a colour: yellow! I knew I had to make and bake something full of sunshine–absolutely bursting with sunshine, from the inside out: this time it was all about flavour. Naturally, a lemon confection immediately came to mind, so I figured it was time to bake a Lemon-Blueberry Layer Cake.
Spaghetti and Meatball Pot Pie
Remember those meatballs I made for a “special idea” on Friday? Here is that idea, Spaghetti and Meatball Pot Pie. I took the concept and figured if pizza was a good pot pie, then spaghetti and meat balls would be too. This isn't as much a recipe as it is a process. I started by greasing the inside of ramekins (1 cup sized, 3 1/2” in diameter). Then I put in a mix of white and mild cheddar cheese.
Made With Pink: A Little Bit Salty, A Little Bit Sweet - StumbleUpon
I always get asked the same question over and over again - "what do you with all your baking?" Well, I usually bake on Saturdays so my husband and I have something for dessert that night. Anything we don't eat either goes to friends on Sundays, or my co-workers on Mondays. But not this week. Not with these Salted Caramel Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars!
