Easter is a big holiday for cakes, candies, chocolates…anything sweet, you name it. Since I haven’t made lemon cupcakes before, this past weekend seemed like a perfect opportunity for it, and to use family as guinea pigs. They’re just so lucky…or doomed. While thinking about colors and flavors with what to decide on forRead More
Easter is coming! Well, technically since it’s tomorrow, I guess it’s pretty much already here. We’re going to two different family gatherings tomorrow for the big bunny day, so I decided to make a cake and some cupcakes. Here is the cake, as you can see. This was the first time I made a 3DRead More
Today is my best friend’s birthday, and she looooooves Oreos. No really, she does. To the extent when I mention something about trying out an Oreo recipe, her eyes light up like a little kid who sees an ice cream cone, and I get the question from her, “Ohhh, can I try it??” Of courseRead More
About a week ago, we received a local food magazine in the mail. My husband asked me if I wanted to keep it, and my eyes lit up when I saw “The Food Issue” in bold black letters on the front. “Yes!” I exclaimed. As I started flipping through the magazine and reading some of theRead More
Well, the chocolate caramel delight cupcakes were such a big hit, that when I was asked to make a cake for my friend’s coworkers, I decided to give the cake a shot.

I always knew the combination of turtles, but didn’t officially know the name of them until several years ago when a good friend told me how much she loved turtles…that’s when I realized that I loved them too, just didn’t knowRead More
As a kid, I remember lurking in the kitchen while my mom was baking cookies. At every chance I got, my little finger would go digging in the bowl with cookie dough, then get shooed away by my mom. “That goes in the oven, not in your mouth!” I’d giggle and turn around to walkRead More
What? Yep, that’s right. These cupcakes have protein powder in them! Protein builds muscles, muscles eat fat…nuff said. This has definitely been a trial and error situation with these cupcakes. The first batch was so awful that I took a bite, said, “Bleh!” and threw all two dozen of them away. The second batch wasRead More
When I came across a recipe using Coffee-Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Latte creamer…I loved it. I did made a few changes to the recipe that I found to give it a little more of a kick with the flavors, and it turned out delicious! I’ve made cupcakes with caramel and chocolate, chocolate and coffee, butRead More
