Red, White & Blue – No Bake Treats

frosting filled graham crackers

Sticking with my “it’s too hot to turn on the oven” theme, here is another quick and easy treat you can whip up with just a little help from the microwave. Frosting filled chocolate covered graham crackers.    I do not believe in throwing extra frosting away, so I always try to find a use for it, aside from my eating it straight out of the bowl with a spoon.   As a child, my mom would always take any leftover frosting {Read More}

Red, White & Blue – Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Here is a fun and easy treat for the 4th of July – Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!  Well, faux-ice cream cone cupcakes to be exact.  Cone + Cupcake + Frosting.   Super cute, a huge hit with my eight year old and I think they’d be really fun for eating while watching fireworks (and they won’t melt if the kids are doing more squealing at fireworks than they are eating).   This is a fun spin on the Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes. {Read More}

In The Kitchen With The iPad & iCookbook

icookbook

I was recently asked if I would like to review a cooking app for the iPad called “iCookbook“.   I wasn’t sure at first – a lot of apps do not impress me or I just do not find them to be user friendly.  I have a few cooking apps, but they have all been free.    I am really picky about apps that I have to pay for.    Publications, International was happy to let me try iCookbook for free, {Read More}

Cakepops With The Babycakes Cake Pop Maker – Giveaway Closed

An Easy Way To Make Cake Pops

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED!  THANK YOU FOR ENTERING! One of my Mother’s Day gifts this year was the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker. I will admit, my first thought was “I bet this won’t work”.  Cake pops require baking and destroying a cake, mushing it with frosting, and forming all of the pops by hand.   It just won’t work if you don’t do it the way Bakeralla does it.  I thought the cake pops would be dry, they will fall off {Read More}
