Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 4/5/14
Posted on April 5, 2014
Thank you all so much for the kind notes about my sister. She and her boyfriend have moved into a new apartment and are doing well. Some of their friends generously started a fund to help raise money for putting their lives back together. It is amazing how kind and giving people can be. A…
Fudgy Black and White Devil’s Food Cake
Posted on March 31, 2014
Four layers of rich chocolate cake filled with vanilla buttercream and covered in a luscious whipped chocolate buttercream. Not only is my mom an incredible baker, but she also happens to love cake. Actually, love is probably an understatement and I’m not sure that “cake” accurately describes it. Birthday cake is her favorite food group…

Posted on March 29, 2014
While this week was uneventful for me, it’s hard to think about much other than my sister right now. Her and her boyfriend got displaced by a big fire next to their apartment a few days ago. Luckily it was during the day so neither one of them was home, but the place is a…

I hope everyone is enjoying a Spring-like weekend! It was warm enough to go for a walk today which made me extremely happy. I’m just going to ignore the upcoming weather forecast because it isn’t worth getting annoyed about. I have to remember that about other things in life too, though. Lately I’m making a…

Mint Cookies and Cream Buttercream Cups
Posted on March 3, 2014
Rich dark chocolate candy cups filled with crème de menthe buttercream and crushed oreos. I’m not feeling all that great today so I’m going to keep this short. These candy cups will kind of win over anyone who loves a little 2-bite treat. My mom, while a buttercream lover, isn’t usually a fan of mint…

Posted on March 2, 2014
Sometimes these weeks really just start to blend together. I feel like I spend half of my time just hibernating and avoiding the cold! Luckily this weekend has been good, though… uneventful but good! Matt and I spent a lot of time relaxing and last night finally watched Dallas Buyer’s Club. Okay, I watched about…
