Starbucks has cakepops, whoopie pies and other sweet petites.

starbucks petites whoopie pies and cake pops

I’ve had about ten people come up to me this week to tell me that they saw cakepops at Starbucks.  Called Starbucks Petites, they have three kinds of cake pops – Birthday Cake, Rocky Road and Tiramisu. They have also added red velvet whoopie pies.    I heard Starbucks are even giving them away free during a certain limited time.  If you miss the free cakepops and want to make your own, here are some of my cakepop recipes and whoopie {Read More}

Chocolate Pretzels, Chocolate Grahams and Chocolate Oreos – Wrapping up St. Patrick’s Day Baking

Chocoalte Covered Pretzels by Love From The Oven

Happy Friday! As we wrap up the week, I’m finishing up my St. Patty’s Day, how many green foods can I make, week.   The last few items I have to share are simply ones I pulled out of  my pantry to use up the leftover chocolate I had from making the chocolate covered marshmallows and green velvet cake pops. With some sprinkles, melting chocolate, be it Wiltons, Merkens or almond bark from the local Walmart and a bit of imagination, {Read More}

Caramel And Chocolate Covered Marshmallows for St. Patrick’s Day

Chocolate Covered St Patricks Day

Chocolate, caramel & marshmallows.  Oh.  My.  Word.  These are incredible.  Dream about them all day and than cry when they are all gone kind of good.     We are big Disneyland fans in this house, and one thing I have to do every time we visit Disneyland is visit the chocolate covered mecca that is Pooh’s Corner.   Some of the amazing treats on our last Halloween visit… A Disney trip is not complete until I  purchase and throughly enjoy something that {Read More}

Green Velvet Cake Pops – More St. Patty’s Day Baking Ideas

Green Velvet Cake Pops by Love From The Oven

My final treat from the green velvet cake recipe is green velvet cake pops.  Super cute!   I think most people will be quiet surprised when they bite into the cake pop and see the vivid green color. Once you’ve made your green velvet cake, let it cool.  I actually cooled mine and than wrapped it in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for a day before making my cake pops.   This was a nice way to break up the {Read More}

Green Velvet Whoopie Pies – St. Patrick’s Day Baking Ideas

Green Velvet Whoopie Pies at Love From The Oven

Today’s treat, from my somewhat crazy idea of making four different treats from one green velvet cake recipe, is green velvet whoopie pies.   This was my first time making actual whoopie pies in my whoopie pie pan (though it really rocks a chocolate chip cookie!).    Truth be told I’ve never had an actual whoopie pie, so let’s get this out in the open, if you grew up eating whoopie pies (or are one of Paula Deen’s sons) I can’t promise {Read More}

Green Velvet Cake… St. Patty’s Day Baking

Green Velvet Cupcakes at www.lovefromtheoven.com

Red velvet cake is all the rage, so naturally St. Patrick’s Day brings visions of green velvet cake.   How many things could one make with a batch of green velvet cake batter?   How about green velvet cupcakes, green velvet mini cupcakes, green velvet whoopie pies and green velvet cake pops. For the record I made all of them.   Also for the record, yes, I am crazy.   I am also Irish, which somehow seems like a good defense for making four {Read More}

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe – Muffin Makeovers

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin Recipe

The banana chocolate chip muffins at Paradise Bakery are one of my all time favorite muffins.  They are insanely good.  While ignorance is bliss, it’s safe to assume they are also insanely high in fat and calories (though really super duper extra yummy ones).    Because I can never leave well enough alone,  I had to come up with a copy cat Paradise Bakery muffin recipe.   This banana chocolate chip muffin recipe, or banana chocolate chip bread recipe if you are {Read More}

Levain Bakery Inspired Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie Recipe

levain bakery chocolate chip cookie

After making the amazingly delicious double dark chocolate Levain Bakery copycat recipe, I’ve been wanting to make the chocolate chip walnut cookie recipe.   After searching around the web, I decided to work with the copy cat Levain Bakery recipe from Parsley, Sage, Desserts & Line Drives and tweak it a bit. I’ve never been to the Levain Bakery, never had one of their cookies and am not so sure I ever will, and really haven’t a clue if this actually {Read More}
