Just looking sorry to say, but I did get a great idea for these Easter cupcakes using the edible grass. You can find the grass and eggs at [...]

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Molasses This recipe has got to be one of my favorites. I can’t wait for it every season. When we made them at the shop they sold out almost every day.

Bunny Ear Cupcakes I would like to say that I created these clever little cupcakes. However that is far from the truth. One of the teenage workers from the bake shop (Chloe) came to me one day with the design. This is exactly what I miss about having the bake shop. All the creative energy [...]

It’s that time of year. The Cherry Blossoms have arrived, spring is coming! When I see the tiny little buds popping out on the trees, it makes me smile. Don’t get me wrong, I love a hot chocolate next to a blazing fire as much as anyone. However I just like knowing that we have turned the [...]
