Outside of the kitchen, I've never been much of a gardener. In fact I'm not sure I've successfully grown anything like, ever. Unless we're talking weeds and kiddos which I've done quiet well. But that doesn't stop me from planting little vegetables of my own in the kitchen, and so can you! I've teamed up with Better Homes and Gardens to bring you an easy Garden-Theme Cupcake tutorial that you're ... [ read more... ]

Sunflower Cupcakes
It's really hard to believe "spring" is here. And not just because our friends and family all over the north are still seeing snow, our new location in the south has us questioning if there ever was a winter and feeling like it's summer already! I'm not so sure spring really exists here?? Although I don't miss the insane amounts of snow from the frozen tundra (aka upstate New York) I do miss that ... [ read more... ]

Last year I discovered you can recreate the Snickers filling with two simple ingredients, and I just had to turn it into a cupcake. The first batch was gone before they even saw a camera...and what better ... [ read more... ]
