I was inspired to make these chocolate dipped peppermint meringues a few months ago during my trip to Duncan Hines. I love making meringues.

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"!

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. While it's true my kitchen often does resemble a sprinkle factory, we really do eat healthy well balanced meals. Can I let you in on a ... [ read more... ]

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... ]
