Four years ago this month, John and I were just kids planning our wedding. We decided to give up sweets during our engagement to feel our best on our wedding day, and to more fully enjoy our dessert bar and wedding cake. The big day finally arrived.
It is time to break out the cranberry pistachio biscotti. These always remind me of the holiday season, though I admit to making these sometimes in the middle of the summer just because I crave them and can't wait six months.
The other night I was catching up on one of my favorite TV shows, Masterchef, and I watched as contestant after contestant walked up to the judge's podium, proudly presenting what were supposed to be the best cheesecakes of their lives.
These cupcakes make me sweat. No, they're not hitting on me. I mean they actually make my face sweat. This is one of God's little gifts to me. I don't have to use cook's intuition to know when my lemon cake is lemon-y enough.
Pecan Pie Puffs are a great little pie dessert to whip up! I love pie and I think its even better when you can hold it in your hand. John called these bite size pies and they were a hit for every one.
Oh my gosh these seriously cute Honey Bee Beehive Cupcake Recipe is just so dang cute! I just love how they turned out. I was looking on Amazon to see what other honey bee items I could find and oh my gosh there are so many cute things.
I've been having a fling with chiffon cakes. There's something so wonderful about their spongy texture and stately height - and their simplicity! Compared to layer cakes, they are half the work and all the flavor and beauty. The toppings are easy too.
They say that a human's taste buds change every seven years. Well, I don't know who they are, but if they had done some light Googling, as I did, this seems to be a claim backed only by the strength of its rumor rather than by scientific evidence.
Last week my youngest turned two years old. With most of my kids birthdays, I end up making the cake I want, usually something covered in fondant, or, if I'm too tired, buttercream. Admittedly, her last birthday cake was much fancier, but for this lady's birthday, though, I wanted to make her her dream cake.
This Skinny Strawberry Daiquiri Pie is the perfect frozen treat. Loaded with sweet strawberries, fresh lime juice and a lightened up pretzel crust, you'll be feeling like your sipping on your favorite cocktail. Has anyone ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong?
