cupcake love in 2

This weekend I attended the Cupcake Love-In in Scottsdale, AZ. The Cupcake Love-In is an event that helps shine the light on many talented bakers and pastry chefs here in Arizona. It helps support amazing local businesses all while raising money for Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS). CASS shelters and programs serve the community’s most vulnerable and those in greatest need, who often face nearly insurmountable barriers ending in their homelessness. So basically you have a really great event focusing {Read More}

Boo!   I had to share the haunted house that my daughter and I put together yesterday.   This is a Wilton Pre-Baked And Pre-Assembled Halloween Cookie House Kit that I picked up in the Halloween section (near costumes, not food) at Walmart.   I think the Walmart version has it’s own Walmart-ized packaging. Here’s what came in the box…

CANDY CORN BARK RECIPE

Candy Corn = Good. Pretzels = Good. Oreos = Good. Caramel Corn = Good. White Chocolate = Good. Put them all together and make bark out of them = CRAZY GOOD.

kitchenaid 7 quart mixer

Let’s talk mixers, shall we?   I have been using my KitchenAid Ultra Power 4.5 Quart Stand Mixer for the past 14 years, after receiving it as a Christmas gift from my husband (quite possibly his best Christmas gift choice ever!).  In those past 14 years my kitchen has been gutted and remolded, all of the cabinets, flooring and appliances have been replaced (some twice!).  The AC on our home was replaced.  Our cars, computers and electronics were all replaced, {Read More}

baking supplies for packaging

In my last post I talked about some of the ways I keep my cake pops simple and easy to make.    For me, one of the best ways to keep my treats simple and easy to make (while still being relatively cute) is to keep my kitchen stocked with a few “essential” items.    Let me share with you a few of the things I try to always have on hand… I’m not the most organized person, and for any ounce {Read More}

Cake Pops – Keeping It Quick, Easy And Cute

October 22, 2011 by 24 Comments
colorful cake pops

While I love to bake, and think I can make some pretty tasty treats, a baked goods decorator I am not.  I will never be able to turn cakepops into art like Bakerella, decorate cakes like Sprinkle Bakes or decorate a cookie like Sugarbelle or Sweetopia. So what’s a non decorating baker to do?   Basically, just fake it.   Colorful sprinkles and candies  can go a long way in making your treats look cute.  Here are some cake pops that I {Read More}

One of my favorite things to bake, especially in the fall, is apple pie.  It’s such a comfort food – a warm slice of apple pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream – so simple, so delicious, such a classic.   I recently reviewed “Pie – 300 Tried And True Recipes For A Delicious Homemade Pie” by Ken Haedrich, which can best be described as the bible of all things pie!   This time I’m going to share with {Read More}
