I guess I can no longer put this post off, today we're having the talk. You know...the buttercream talk. Now don't get me wrong here, I love making and working with buttercream. If there's one thing I've got down...it's buttercream. I've made literately hundreds of batches and I'm almost positive I could make it with my eyes closed, it's really that simple. But for some reason many "seasoned" ... [ read more... ]

Swirly Halloween Cookies
Call a shrink, I have dessert commitment issues. This weekend I was going to bake some yummy fall flavored treats...and today I was going to post all about buttercream neither of which I did. I laid everything out on the counter and even opened the can of pumpkin...but then these cookies popped in my head and I had to make them. I'm not a bit disappointed because these came out perfect!

Candy Corn Meringues
I love making meringues, but these might honestly be one of my favorite things I ever made. Not only are they easy, they are inexpensive, serve a lot, and so incredibly stinking cute! Don't worry if you aren't a fan of candy corns, these light and airy cookies have a soft vanilla taste - just dressed up as candy corns. I couldn't resist layering yellow, orange, and white meringue to make these ... [ read more... ]

Ewwy Gooey Slime Filled Cupcakes
I'll be the first to admit, I'm a sucker for themes but I guess that's no secret really. All you have to do is whisper a project theme in my ear and I start twitching, my mind runs away 1,000 MPH with different ideas. Some incredibly creative and some just a bit completely overboard. Babe, do you think we could get a real dolphin at her under the sea party? Ok maybe not that extreme but thankful ... [ read more... ]

Graveyard Pudding {Beware of bones!}
"What are you up to today?"..."Oh you know, making little puddings with edible bones it in, you?" If you hang around me enough conversations like this are kinda the norm. Matter of fact I don't think my friends even blink, I'm not sure there's really much I can do to surprise them anymore. In my defense my oldest daughter has been repeatedly been asking for "dirt pudding"for awhile now so today ... [ read more... ]
