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! As for ... [ read more... ]

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... ]

Birthday Cake Fudge
Last week I was minding my own business scrolling through pintrest when I saw this pin labeled cake batter fudge. Whoa. Wait. Stop right there...does this say cake batter fudge?

Our very first, first day of school!
Today I'm taking a break from all things sweet and crafty to share a very special milestone we reached as a family, the first day of school. Since I'm writing this post you can assume we made it through without any complete disasters lol. If you remember yesterdays post I wasn't exactly ready...but things worked out in the end as they always do. To some, the first day of Pre-K might not be such a ... [ read more... ]
