Happy Hour Desserts at the Momtrends Sparkle Event
Posted on May 17, 2012
Last week I provided the sweets for the Momtrends Sparkle event. It was a great way to showcase some of my desserts and meet a ton of women who are also entrepreneurial and career-minded. I always leave something like that excited from all of the energy that these women exude. The event took place during…
Just Because
Posted on May 14, 2012
Just because… I am so up to my neck in butter and chocolate I can barely see straight I ate too much leftover Mother’s Day cake today, can you say “too full for dinner?” I’m starting to get nervous about meeting cast members from this show when I bring desserts my friend ordered for some…
Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake
Posted on May 8, 2012
Moist, flavorful cake full of apple chunks topped with a thick layer of buttery crumb topping. The perfect breakfast or brunch treat! Every time I think I can predict the ebbs and flows of my new business I'm absolutely wrong. But you know what, I've never been so happy to be wrong. I really thought that as soon as I got all…
Margarita Cookie Bars
Posted on May 2, 2012
Sometimes I think my brain has hit capacity and I can not learn or remember anything else. Things like the day of the week and date are too much to keep track of. All week this week I thought it was the day before. On Tuesday I thought it was Monday, on Wednesday I thought…
Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia
Posted on May 2, 2012
You remember that trip we took to Philadelphia a few weeks ago where we ate our way through the weekend? Well, given the fact that I could live on ice cream, I was most excited for our trip to Franklin Fountain. An old school ice cream shop that models itself from the soda shops that…
Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Posted on April 29, 2012
Last weekend when Matt took these brownies with him to a friend’s birthday, I was en route with these Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes (and wine of course) for a good friend’s housewarming. One of my best friends from growing up recently moved to NYC with her husband so I was thrilled to be welcoming her to…
Blueberry Rhubarb Shortbread Bars
Posted on April 26, 2012
This was one of those weeks where I should be thankful I made it to Friday alive. 400 cookies for a local event, lots of packages, business development when I could fit it in and excitement over all that my friend Rachel has done for me (see here and here). And somehow, luckily, I was…
Fudgy Double Crème de Menthe Brownies
Posted on April 22, 2012
Saturday was a case of “I have a few hours in the kitchen to make non-KISD desserts, how much can I bake for the blog and how fast?” Of course I had another reason to bake, other than for Matt to have three cupcakes as an afternoon snack. And the reason wasn’t to give me…
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Balls for Earth Day
Posted on April 20, 2012
How has everyone’s week been? My days have just flown by and every night as soon as I finished in the kitchen I practically collapsed in exhaustion. Working more hours lately has meant less time in the gym but my legs have never been so sore. I wear sneakers in the kitchen most of the…
A Weekend Getaway in Philly
Posted on April 18, 2012
This past weekend was exactly what we needed. Two nights and two days of Matt and I doing only what the two of us wanted to do and of course that revolved around eating. I had actually spend the first part of Friday visiting with my mom and getting in a pre-weekend TRX workout (sore…
