Vanilla Butter Cake

Which may seem slightly insane considering my official job title is "sprinkle tosser" or ya know baker, but it's true...I really dislike making cakes or I did. Need proof?

Butterfly Cookies

Sometimes you do crazy things for your kids, in the name of love. Like for instance, make them butterfly cookies that take you well over 18+ hours to make (I stopped counting at 18). Wait, wait, wait...don't go! I promise these pretty cookies aren't THAT hard, nor will they take you 18 hours. Unless...of course you have twins.

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Some times you just have to break rules. Like posting classic Red Velvet Cream Cheese Cupcakes a few weeks after Valentine's day. Such a rebel I tell ya. Anywho, one of the things I tend to be awful about it getting "basics" posted to the blog - because I always over think them! I'm over here thinking what crazy new idea I can make next and you guys are like hello...we need sugar cookies, ... [ read more... ]

Strawberry Walnut Pancakes With Strawberry Syrup

Happy National Pancake Day!!! And if you're reading this and it's no longer national pancake day, then happy pancake day to you anyway! Because seriously, everyday should be pancake day.

So I'm always looking for a fun new way to mix up ... [ read more... ]
