T_I_M_B_E_R!!!! OK this is just plain silliness. I baked a Buche de Noel cake and then remembered I had these wonderful mini lumberjacks. There is no better pairing than cake and lumberjacks. When you get so excited about figurines does it mean its time to jump in the dating pool? Don’t answer that, I’m in [...]

The truth is I found these wonderful chocolate sea shells online and well you know…. needed to make something so I could use them. For the most part that is how I get most of my ideas, sort’a backwards. The bucket has layers of vanilla and chocolate cake pieces, brownie chunks, buttercream frosting, and cinnamon crumb cake for [...]

This post is really about my favorite glaze or topping. It’s summery fresh while amazingly simple. The flavors are complex and the recipe is versatile. If you want it to be a little more runny, just add a splash more liqueur or orange juice. Wish the glaze was thicker, add an extra spoon of apricot jam. If you don’t have [...]

Just a light coating of frosting is necessary because the cake is so moist already. A true crowd pleaser. Always one to [...]

It wouldn’t be the holidays without some Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. I always start craving pumpkin baked goods starting in October but by the time Christmas comes around I’m done. So for now I’m all over this recipe. These little beauties have a little extra kick. The recipe calls for ground walnuts. It give the patties depth and [...]

This recipe is the same as the cupcakes recipe only in cake format. The Cream Cheese frosting goes better with the cake because it’s not a sweet as the buttercream. You could also forgo the frosting altogether and have it for a snack cake, it is that good all by itself! This recipe has got to [...]

Just in time for the holidays. Something a little different from pumpkin pie. But oh so delicious. You’ll find this is lighter than a pie but has a rich spice flavor. Don’t get me wrong I love pumpkin pie but once in a while it is refreshing to have a new updated change for a traditional dessert. Give it a try. You [...]
