Hey guys, today I'm crazy busy getting ready to head home tomorrow! We haven't been home in a year and we are so excited. So I'll keep it short and sweet...and it doesn't get much sweeter then cupcakes. So today I'm sharing hot cocoa cupcakes with peppermint marshmallow icing! I have about a dozen hot cocoa treat ideas on my list for this winter. We seriously drink hot cocoa on a daily basis ... [ read more... ]

Sugar Cookie Truffles
A few weeks ago I made some Oreo truffles for our mummies night in. Honestly, I have seen them everywhere but despite their popularity never gave them a try. The truth is... I'm not a huge fan of Oreo's. But before u send me hate mail I do not not like them....they're just not a fav :). The Oreo truffles, however, were fantastic and now I know why they are so popular. Everybody wanted to know ... [ read more... ]

Melting Chocolate 101
Hey there, it's Friday! Not only is it Friday it's a long weekend!

With holidays and baking season just about here (yay!), I thought now was the perfect time to share all about melting chocolate. Who ... [ read more... ]

Thanksgiving Dinner Cupcakes
Hey there! Yesterday I shared some pumpkin pie sugar cookies, and today I'm back with the rest of dinner. (dessert should always go first right?) These are definitely some of the most fun cupcakes I've ever made...I think I have a slight major adoration for making foods that look like other foods...weird I know. I actually first made a set of these last year, but I wanted to remake and share them ... [ read more... ]

Fondant Turkey Toppers
Hey there! I hope everybody had a fantastic and sweet Halloween. Are all you mommas enjoying your candy tax, you know the 10 percent you get for taking them door to door collecting candy? The hubs enforces that rule strictly ;). My kiddos had a total blast last night but now the littles can’t seem to figure out why they were allowed to collect all that candy in 2 hours and not eat it all in 2 ... [ read more... ]

White Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
I have a little confession. I found a new favorite cupcake about a week ago...triple white chocolate....and I haven't shared it with you yet. I know...I'm sorry, please can we still be friends? It's not that I don't want to share...I made them for a ladies night in at my house, and they were gone as fast as I could whip them up. So I'll be making a second batch and sharing it with you, very soon. ... [ read more... ]

Buttercream 101
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... ]
