Swiss Meringue Cotton Candy Cake

You guys. You guys. I am SO in love, but not in a mushy husband and wifey way. EW. There's only one kind of love we're taking about here, awesome frosting kind of love obviously. I've been giving you little hints here and there butttttt I have recently fell pretty hard for swiss meringue buttercream. After years of using American buttercream or Decorators Buttercream, I knew it was time to try ... [ read more... ]

Cookies & Cream Cake

A few weeks ago my not so little anymore cupcake turned 10. Would you believe when I started this blog she was a toddler? A TODDLER! We had a little belated celebration this week due to the location being booked solid in December. (Which totally bought me a few extra weeks during the holidays, winning.) Naturally the celebration called for cake, more specifically a Cookies & Cream Cake. When ... [ read more... ]

Cotton Candy Cupcakes

I told you guys awhile back that I had some major blog catching up to do right? Well guess what!!! I still haven't done it, whomp whomp whomp. No worries though it's happening right now! So let me go ahead and apologize for the crazy amount of sweet catch up I'm about to do. For those of you that are signed up for email notifications, so sorry about the inbox flooding this week as I double down on ... [ read more... ]

Banana Split Cake

There's one baking lesson that I know so well, yet just can't seem to learn. Don't ask the hubs to chose a baking flavor. Just don't. Even when I'm seriously at a fork...just...don't...do...it. No matter what the circumstances I will always end up even more confused, and potentially frustrated at the end of the conversation. Second lesson: don't bake cakes in the middle of the night. Let me ... [ read more... ]

Lime Dream Cake

This week was a CAKE week! Which automatically makes my week twice as good. That is if I totally wipe out all memories of my soon to be toddler ripping two new teeth through her gums like a baby T-rex growing claws, tiny baby arms, teeth, and tears everywhere. Naturally causing her to wake up at 4 AM e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y this week, which sends her clinging to my legs by 4PM with an all out meltdown. ... [ read more... ]

Cafe Mocha Cake

Today I have good news, a little secret, and a cake to share! The good news is…I recently found out after moving to Europe that I do not have an addiction to coffee. That’s right! I actually have an addiction to cream and sugar. Ha! Seriously though, ordering coffee here is like can I have a cup of coffee and like 24 creams and sugars please? They like their coffee dark, strong, and tiny. Which is ... [ read more... ]

Strawberry Pancake Mini Donuts

You guys I miss pancakes. Like seriously, I need a pancake night in my life right now. Warm, fluffy, buttery pancakes drizzled in maple syrup...yummmmm. Remember how many times I've talked about pancake night here at the Miller's and how it's a total staple? Yea - that hasn't happened in months. Sadly as part of our European transition I no longer have a griddle that works here and this new ... [ read more... ]

Blueberry Pumpkin Cupcakes

I am so happy to be sharing a new recipe with you guys today, it feels like forever since I've really dug in and did some major blogging. Man does my heart miss it! I wish I could tell you guys we're all settled in Europe and I'm baking up a storm - the truth isn't anything close to that. The real deal? We've ate an embarrassing amount of BK and I've had more pastries in the last 4 weeks then ... [ read more... ]
