I don’t know what it is, but when I travel for a weekend, I always have a million different bags. Maybe I just should take 1 big bag and call it a day? I just try so hard to be an efficient and minimalist traveler (ha!). What if I want to workout? Sneakers. Are we [...]

(Real) Pistachio Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream
My dad isn’t a dessert person. I know, cover your mouth in horror! Him and my sister both… my mom and I, we are just made differently. Actually, I relate to my dad in a lot of other ways. His math and science-geared brain, his smile, and his stubbornness, to name a few. When I [...]
Mini Cookies ‘n Cream Cupcakes
Well, I’m pretty much at that point before vacation where I’m in a little bit of denial about how much I need to do beforehand. Lots and lots and lots of cookies need to be made and my head is already in a world where the sun is shining and I have a tequila infused [...]
Birthday Brunch
A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday with a brunch party. Marcia decided that for her birthday, she wanted to thank all her friends and family for being a part of her life. She even asked that no one get her a gift but donate to a family charity instead. Brunch [...]
Chocolate Stout Celebration Cake
Ever since Thursday’s announcements, I’ve felt a huge sense of relief. Now that you know about Keep It Sweet Desserts, I can be a lot more open about what is going on in my daily life. Having my co-workers know, well, that is another level of weight lifted off my shoulders. There were a lot [...]
Tate’s Chocolate Chip Cookies and More Birthday Desserts

You know my mom couldn’t stop at just one;-) We had: Chocolate and Banana Three Layer Cake with Mocha Buttercream Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing Ice [...]
Best Dessert Ever
Today was my birthday… …and last night my mom presented this: Edited to add: Recipe can be found here! More desserts to come!
By Request
Matt’s grandma is turning 90 years old on Monday! A few months ago we were talking and she told me that all she wanted for her big birthday this year was Mandelbread. Lucky for her, I don’t forget any food-related requests. And even luckier for her, I have the most amazing mandelbread recipe that my [...]
The Cake
Not only was Saturday Sara’s bridal shower, but it was also just a couple of days after a big birthday for her mom. So, in addition to fun pick-up desserts, I wanted to make a birthday cake. Usually I’d stay safe with a vanilla or chocolate cake for a crowd, but I wanted to make [...]
Black and White and Loving Vanilla Bean
My sister’s 23rd birthday is coming up, and she is having a cocktail party* to celebrate. The color scheme for the evening is black and white so I am helping out by baking desserts with those colors. The first thing that came to my mind was black and white cheesecake bars. That is slightly ironic [...]
