Root beer floats are super tasty. A week ago I was craving one like whoa. But can you believe no ice cream shop was open at 9:30pm? Uncool, for real. When I think of root beer floats, I believe that vanilla has to be a flava-flave that’s large and in charge. So I went with a vanilla bean whoopie pie with a root beer filling. And then I wasn’t sure if it was root beery…
My mom made all the time when I was growing up. I love the memories as much as I love the cinnamon-sugary goodness. Jake likes this coffee cake because he says it taste like a donut. Basically, if you like happy breakfast memories, cinnamon-sugar, and donuts, you’ll la la love this. P.S. I just want you guys to know that this is one of the best coffee cakes in the whole world. And that’s why…
These cupcakes are a party. They are a little bit out of control and a lot pink. They taste like a birthday miracle. I made these for a lovely lady I work with. You see, she loves the color pink, gummy bears and candy of all sorts. I figured I’d do it up. These are super girly, but I have proof that boys can appreciate these too. Their tastiness outweighs their girliness, I guess. By…
It’s really snowy here in the mitten. I know it’s really snowy because it’s really high up on Elliot’s little legs. He’s not a fan of it at the moment, despite his fur coat. It’s so snowy that I switched my shoes from flats to boots on my lunch break. I had no choice! Nobody wants to snow in their shoes. So, it only makes sense to switch up my usual cold cereal for some…
Yesterday, I baked some mini donuts. They turned out teeny, pink, vanilla bean-freckled and chocolate squiggly. They are as tasty as they are cute. I just want to make every sort of baked donut that exists now. I want to top cupcakes and cakes with them. I want to wear one as a pinky ring. I want to put them in my pocket. I want give them hugs. I want to dunk them in tiny…
Jake’s birthday was Friday! These guys, made Saturday, were fashionably late. Wouldn’t you agree that the combo of funfetti with pink frosting just screams birthday? Basically these are a birthday party for your mouth. (In a fun way, not a creepy way.) Rainbow sprinkles are the prettiest. And somehow they get even prettier baked in white cake! This cake is white because there aren’t any egg yolks in it to turn it into yellow cake.…
What do you make a burger-loving lady for her birthday? Hamburger Mini Cupcakes, of course! Isn’t it kinda crazy how the chocolate cupcake part really looks like a burger? Is it weird that after I made these I kinda wanted a real burger? Mostly though, these guys are tasty pranksters. P.S. I’m really loving having big windows now, but the truth is I’m still figuring out the lighting situation. I made these after work Wednesday,…
If I had to say a moment I’m most proud of in my life, I’d say it’d be the time I made this bread pudding … and then tried to put it in a pie pan. And then it overflowed everywhere and I didn’t freak out. Instead I poured it in a spring-form pan and crossed my fingers that the layers of bread would be hip and cool like they were at first. Oh yeah…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them and…
So you guys should probably know that I single-handedly ate an entire watermelon in 2 days. I miss it already. With that said, I just can’t get enough summer fruit in my life, in my belly or in my desserts. So, I figured I’d tell you Happy Fourth of July with some patriotic berries! Don’t bother considering these a dessert. Consider them a fruit-filled snack and eat a lot of them, ok? Red + White + Blue…
