These Cookies and Cream Cupcakes are full of surprises! From the cookie in the bottom to the cream filling, they are over the top delicious! I realize that I'm a fairly young person who doesn't have a lot of life experience yet, but I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I have been through more than my share of stressful situations.
Halloween is over, but please don't put away those sweet teeth just yet! We're still in the midst of celebrating Dia de los Muertos (the Mexican holiday honoring those who have died), and here in Los Angeles, the party is happening all weekend.
Can we talk? Specifically, can we talk about "brownie" recipes that call for things like black beans and applesauce and sugar substitutes, instead of gobs of chocolate and eggs and wonderful, wonderful, butter?
I finally cracked and opened my first pumpkin can of the season. I tried to stay strong, you guys. But it's the third week of October and it's still in the mid-80's here and our AC isn't working and I am sweating like a wildebeest after a sprint across the savannah, and sometimes a girl just has to WILL autumn into existence, am I right?
Butterscotch dip cupcakes are adorable and delectable in one shot. Perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving - they're true show stoppers! I have recently been dieting for the five-hundred-and-eighty-seven zillionth time. I know that experts are always saying that diets don't work, only lifestyle changes work, but I actually mostly like my life.
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of trifles. They have all of the benefits of a layer cake-Big portions! Robust cake-to-frosting ratio! Gorgeous presentation!-without most of the actual work of assembling and frosting a layer cake. They're the lazy cook's best friend and the busy host's secret weapon.
Pumpkin S'mores Cupcakes combine moist pumpkin cupcakes, toasted Campfire® marshmallows, graham crumbs and chocolate fudge sauce to make an epic Fall treat! **This post is brought to you on behalf of Campfire Marshmallows®. All thoughts and opinions are completely my own.
Pumpkin pie? Yawn. Apple pie? Snore. Pecan pie? Stop it right now. No offense, but what your boring Thanksgiving needs-and I'm telling you this as a friend-is Cranberry Chocolate Truffle Cake. We have enough fruit and nuts stuffed in pastry crusts, we need some down-and-dirty, too-rich-for-my-blood, pass-the-milk-no-not-a-glass-the-whole-carton chocolate desserts up in here!
Hostess Cupcake fans will LOVE this Hostess Cupcake Cake filled with cream filling and topped with a signature squiggle! Do you ever notice that when women travel there is a lot of planning and preparation and note leaving and meal prepping involved, but when a man travels he just...leaves? For real.
Happy National Pound Cake Day! ...wait, what? You didn't know it was National Pound Cake Day? You weren't even planning on celebrating with any sort of pound cake today? What are you going to tell me next-that you didn't even put up your pound cake tree or hang your pound cake stockings?
