  Let’s talk Whoopie Pies! The previous two versions I’ve blogged about were both from Baked: Red Velvet and Pumpkin, both with cream cheese filling. I was interested in trying these ones mostly because of the filling, a Swiss Vanilla Meringue Icing that I’ve always been too intimidated to try before....
Here’s the second treat I made for the Friendsgiving Feast, because you know I can’t just stop at one. Of course, we were all full by the time we got through our pie, so I ended up wrapping these up for everyone to take home....
Behold my birthday cake!  After baking for others all year (which I love, don’t get me wrong), this is the most wonderful time of the year when I make whatever I want. It’s an excuse to make something over-the-top, or with a guilty pleasure tucked inside, and this year, it was all about re-creating this most......
Happy Belated Thanksgiving you guys! I had a very relaxing long weekend, and my appetite returned just in time for me to feast. I wasn’t feeling so hot when I returned from my 48 hour anxiety attack, but I just took it easy last week and I was in fine form on Sunday night. My Mom’s turkey......
Dessert in a jar was so on trend for Summer 2011. I had been seeing cute ideas all over the blogosphere, but it was the cherry cheesecake in jar at Charcut that really put me over the edge. I found a package of 12 jars at Wal-Mart for about $10, and I was super excited to bust them......
Does this look familiar? I didn’t even realize until I typed out the title to this blog post that this is basically a sweet version of the savoury Roasted Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini. Well let me tell you, it was much better 🙂...
It’s my mission this summer to make as many s’mores desserts in a variety of formats as I can. If you invite me to an event this summer, you can be sure I will arrive with a s’mores pie/cake/cookie/bar/pudding/ice cream/popsicle/doughnut. My ultimate goal for the end of August is to have a s’mores party with......
  My niece Amy turned three at the end of May, and of course as soon as Matthew’s school bus cake was done, I started thinking about which treats I wanted to make for her princess party. Every pretty princess needs some pretty pink princess cupcakes, and this recipe from Smitten Kitchen was perfect. I’m......
  I’m in a rhubarb frenzy! Or I was two weeks ago, since I’m a little bit behind over here. Like all spring/summer fruit, there’s such a short window of time when rhubarb is in season, so you really have to take advantage of it, and I think that makes it okay to go a......
St. Patrick’s Day means only one thing to me: SPRING. Usually by March 17th we’ve seen the last of the snow around here, and hopefully have had a handful of days with double digit temperatures. Today I left my puffy coat and Uggs at home, and went to work in a light jacket and flats.......
