If you'd like to make an easy recipe for dessert, but yet something different than your usual boxed cake with frosting, look no further. This Blueberry Crunch Cake is an easy cake called a "dump cake". Why? Because you literally dump all the ingredients together. … [Read more...]
Everything is better on a stick and mini cupcakes on a stick are no exception! With February in full swing, Valentine's Day is on the mind of many couples in love.

See this Valentine's Day cake? I bet you think I used red food coloring to make that pretty pink colored glaze. Well, I didn't. Here's the secret: I infused the glaze with cinnamon herbal tea bags! The result is a naturally pink glaze for a cake that I named after the teabags themselves: Sweetheart Cinnamon Cake. I'm really happy with how it turned out and it was really easy to do. I went one step further and even used the tea bags to give the same flavor to my cake mix. … [Read more...]
One of the many highlights of attending the Mixed Conference (my very first food blogging conference...yeeaaah) was our cake decorating class with Duff Goldman, cake decorator extraordinaire and owner of Charm City Cakes. Most people probably know him from the show "Ace of Cakes", which can be found in reruns on Food Network. When we arrived to the class, we all paired up and sat at a tables, which were already geared up with a cake all ready for decorating and lots of Duff cake decorating … [Read more...]
It's been a hard year. I don't think I could have ever imagined how hard this year would be. Losing someone you love is, without a doubt, one of the worst things. Losing three...well, it's inconceivable. About 4-5 months ago, I read a blog post called "one simple step that’s changing my life" by another food blogger, Kristy of The Wicked Noodle. Her post stated: everything in our lives should begin with being grateful for what we have. Something about that post helped me to shift my … [Read more...]
I'm a bit jealous of those of you who have Autumn weather already appearing in your areas. I guess you could say that Las Vegas is cooling down a bit, but today's high was still at least 95 degrees F. Well, at least the nights feel like they are getting cooler. While it doesn't feel very Fall-ish in these parts, there is things I do that (somewhat) satisfy my love of the season. One thing I do is go all out with my Autumn decorating. I think I decorate almost as much for Autumn (and Halloween … [Read more...]
Pin It In our home, I don't make the coffee. This is something David does and guess what? I don't even make my own cup of coffee. He's a pretty great guy, huh? I'm very lucky. There's a bit of a story behind why I don't make my coffee. David has always been a coffee drinker. I haven't been. I would drink a bit of it here or there, or maybe if we were out having breakfast, but not much beyond this. David (somewhat) quietly wished that I was a coffee drinker. I think he just wanted a … [Read more...]
Every year, our family does a Halloween party of some kind. Many years, the party is with our family members, and we eat lots of yummy party food and treats - scary movies are often part of the fun too. I'm getting busy prepping for our party and will be sharing a a few of the treats I am making. One of them is Candy Bar Cupcakes. … [Read more...]
