Gah - guys I'm in a total funk again. Turns out, I just might be the queen of funk. And no, not in a totally rad hip hop kinda way. More like I get in these super weird funks all too often that I literately need pulled out of and lately has been no exception.

Vanilla Butter Cake
Have I ever told you I have a cake phobia - it's true, I do. Which may seem slightly insane considering my official job title is "sprinkle tosser" or ya know baker, but it's true...I really dislike making cakes or I did. Need proof? Head on over to the cakes page, you might hear a cricket or two. But why the cake phobia? Well...it all started with (cue music and thought bubble)... My entire ... [ read more... ]

Butterfly Cookies
Sometimes you do crazy things for your kids, in the name of love. Like for instance, make them butterfly cookies that take you well over 18+ hours to make (I stopped counting at 18). Wait, wait, wait...don't go! I promise these pretty cookies aren't THAT hard, nor will they take you 18 hours. Unless...of course you have twins. And you thought they would be a great idea to make for both class ... [ read more... ]

I'm over here thinking what crazy new idea I can make next and you guys are like hello...we need sugar cookies, ... [ read more... ]

Strawberry Walnut Pancakes With Strawberry Syrup
Happy National Pancake Day!!! And if you're reading this and it's no longer national pancake day, then happy pancake day to you anyway! Because seriously, everyday should be pancake day.

Valentine’s Emoji Cookies
I hope you don't mind if I get a little emoji-nal on you today. Ok not really, I just wanted to use that cheesy pun. But I am pretty excited to share these cookies with you? Why? Because I tried something new to me, fondant covered cookies! I'm a little guilty of getting too comfortable and reluctant to try something new sometimes. I'm often the last one to jump on a bandwagon…like the person ... [ read more... ]
