Gluten free Banana Cake with White Chocolate Whipped Cream
Posted on July 6, 2015
Moist, flavorful gluten-free banana cake topped with a sweet light white chocolate whipped cream.

Upside-down Caramel Banana Coffee Cake
Posted on March 16, 2015
Dense and moist coffee-flavored cake topped with gooey caramelized bananas!

Posted on December 9, 2013
Fudgy brownie topped with a creamy layer of peanut butter banana cheesecake! Sometimes you just have to go back to your roots.

Vanilla Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread that is Low Fat and Whole Wheat
Posted on July 9, 2013
Healthy banana bread full of delicious vanilla roasted strawberries. It’s Tuesday but I feel like I am still recovering from the long weekend!

Banana Brownie Chunk Greek Frozen Yogurt
Posted on August 17, 2012

Blueberry Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread {Gluten-Free}
Posted on June 25, 2012
Gluten-free banana bread that is moist and just as delicious as regular. No crazy ingredients needed.

Fudgy Brownie Crunch Banana Ice Cream Pie
Posted on June 19, 2012
I was talking to some friends a few weeks ago about working out, eating healthy, etc. For as long as I remember I’ve worked out hard most days of the week and watched what I ate 80% of the time. But when I started running a bakery full-time, things changed. My days got longer and…
Mini Banana Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream
Posted on December 27, 2011
Today I experienced something that I don’t remember experiencing before. I was sugared out. After baking three batches of cookies, two batches of cupcakes and “tasting” leftover desserts that have been lingering in my kitchen I am ready to give up sweets for my New Years resolution. Or not. I mean really, do you honestly…
Strawberry Banana Bread and Childhood Friends

Light-as-Air Banana Cheesecake
Posted on April 24, 2011

Banana Cake with Mocha Ganache
Posted on October 17, 2010
I usually really like the desserts I bake. Sometimes I love them. And then, every once and a while, I make something new that automatically climbs to my list of top desserts. If this cake isn’t one of those, it sure is close. And without a doubt, I WILL be making the ganache again, and…
Matt’s Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Posted on September 11, 2010
I like bananas… Last week we were going to my godparents house for dinner and Lauren said she would make banana bread. She was feeling a little under the weather, so I said I would do it.
