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 [...]

Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting
A few months ago, I was offered the chance to review a cupcake magazine. Yes, a cupcake magazine! How could I say no to that? Well, I finally got around to making some cupcakes weeks and weeks later. Not sure why I waited so long. Maybe because I’m just so obsessed with cookies I can’t [...]
22 Easy Dessert Recipes that Make You Seem Like a Pro
I recently ran into a friend of mine that said she loved my blog but that she could never make any of the desserts I put together because 1) they are hard/time consuming and 2) she doesn’t have any of the “random” ingredients on hand. As someone who works full time and bakes and blogs [...]
