"Do you want to build a snowman...or ride our bikes around the halls..." Fess up...how many of you have had this song stuck in your heads for weeks? I have, and totally admit - I love it! You guys already know our girls are Disney princess CRAZY, so it was only natural they fell head over heels in love with Frozen.

Happy Thanksgiving!
What Turkey? I see no Turkey! Remember last year we had these cute little pitiful fondant Turkeys show up at Thanksgiving? This year, they came well prepared for the hunt. Well played guys, well played... I just wanted to take a moment in between the cooking/baking frenzy and sure to be food coma to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I am so very thankful for all of my ... [ read more... ]
Sweet Potato Cupcakes
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... ]
Swirly Halloween Cupcakes
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. 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... ]
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... ]
Slimy Cupcakes
Remember earlier this week when I said anything goes in October? Well today I'm back with another one of those crazy only in October treats! Last year I shared with you guys these Ooey Gooey Slime Filled Cupcakes and they were such a hit. As weird as it is...they might be my favorite cupcakes I've ever made! Ever since I've wanted to try some more "slimy" treats so the very second I thought I ... [ read more... ]
