My name is Toni, and I'm addicted to Sweet Potatoes. There I said it. I'm currently madly in love with sweet potatoes. But it's November...and that's totally allowed right? However, this little fling started way back in August...before we were all prepping Turkey day sides and dreaming of pumpkin pie. Back in August I went to visit the hubs in school across the country and on one of our outings I ... [ read more... ]

Maple Butter Pecan Cupcakes
Maple and pecan, a fall favorite for sure - you just can't go wrong with this combo! These cupcakes just might be my best kept secret, because honestly they just keep getting "lost"! I first made them a few years ago for a cupcake event I was hosting, and they were a favorite of the night. Recently, I've been getting lots of request for those yummy pecan cupcakes with the syrup drizzled on top. ... [ read more... ]

Can you guys believe Halloween is this week?! Gah. I can't even believe it, it doesn't seem real. Especially since we've just moved from a cold climate to a warm climate. BTW for those of you that didn't see on Instagram/Facebook, we've made it to Texas, yay! The bulk of the move is behind us but the downside - we haven't had a single moment to enjoy fall. Zero pumpkins have been carved and ... [ read more... ]

Real Seal Challenge – Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes
You know - I've always wondered what family, friends, and readers think about our eating habits. Because if you read my posts and keep up with me on any social media, it just may seem like we live off of pretty little cupcakes and treats dipped in sprinkles 24/7.

Birthday Cake Oreo Truffles
A few weeks ago I was strolling through Wal-Mart looking at some new cake decorating items when I noticed they had several new brands of cake making goodies on the shelves. One of which included some new melting chocolate in flavors! Finding products you love to use in fun new flavors is kinda like Christmas for bakers, I might have done a little happy dance right there in the aisle...and that was ... [ read more... ]

Easy School Spirit Cupcakes
With our oldest now in school it's hard not to start thinking about all the treats I'll be baking for her. Bake sales, PTO meetings, class room parties...the list goes on. A few weeks ago this all came to a reality as she brought home a PTO meeting invitation and her very first fundraiser. Luckily our move date was prior to the fundraiser so she couldn't participate, she was devastated- I was ... [ read more... ]
