Spinach Artichoke cheesecake

I’m so happy its finally the weekend. I don’t have a lot going on the next two days which is just fine by me. I made up a to-do list for myself all of the chores I need to get done, but then I also pulled out a few recipes to try. One of them…

Baking Super Heroes

Woof, it has been a long week. But let’s jump back to this time last week. Have you guys ever had a daunting project looming ahead of you that you weren’t sure you could achieve well, much less execute perfectly? This is how I feel about cake decorating. I am not a perfectionist, but when…

A case of the cake poops

Hey friends! How’s your week going so far? As corny as it sounds, I’m really happy to be past Monday! I’m taking this week off of baking (kinda) so that I can focus on catching up on this blog and other life projects. But last week was a baking-palooza! So, the next thing I want…

Birthdays Galore

Happy Monday! I am still super behind on my blog postings. I’ve been baking up a storm for the last week and just have not had time to post anything! Last week was insanely busy between personal projects, Valentine’s Day baking, two orders for children’s birthday parties, and last but not least, co-worker’s birthdays. Three…

The Truffle Shuffle

Happy Valentine’s day readers! I hope you all will be showered with love, flowers, chocolates, and super tasty food (most important) today! I’m single so I’m wearing black and will be spending my evening finishing a cake pop order for a kid’s birthday party this weekend. But don’t feel bad for me. I will be…

Girl Scout Cookie Season!

Happy Hump-day! My co-workers are going to be so happy/mad at me today because I brought in an onslaught of cookies and treats for them. A few of them had birthdays recently and neglected to mention it. (How am I supposed to spoil them with cake unless they tell me?!) So I made sugar cookies…

Diet Set-backs

Ok, so I’m going to take a step back from baking and re-direct my focus to cooking for a minute. Every week I start out by prepping different meals that will be healthy and low carb, but also will do well as leftovers. That way I can have quick lunches or dinners on days when…

Chocolate Pecan Macarons: Take Two

Happy Moanday Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m posting about something I made a few weeks ago. I’m really behind on my posting because I didn’t have internet that one week. However, that means I have so many bakes to share with you. Some of you will remember that the…

Donut you know how much I love donuts?

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all are relaxing the day away and finding ways to distract yourselves from this *beautiful* winter we’re having. I am heading to the grocery store to pick up last minute ingredients to do all of my Valentine’s Day baking for this week. On top of that, I also am…

Mustard & Cheddar Loaf

So for the month of February, the British Bake Off International Challenge was to make a Mustard and Cheddar Loaf. I have had some successes with making bread in the past, so I was pretty excited about it. For our challenges, the admins of our little group are choosing recipes from “The Great British Bake…
