A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I always like to do something fun for birthday breakfasts. And since we pretty much see cinnamon rolls as the greatest breakfast food ever, I usually end up with some sort of celebratory cinnamon rolls. For my little one’s birthday this weekend, I decided to kick up my typical ‘sprinkles on the top’ thing and go all out. Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls! Yeah, that’s totally not a bad way to start the day. Add some cute little flags or candles, and {Read More}
My little one turned three this weekend, so obviously a cute cake was called for. I went with one of our favorite characters… Hello Kitty. I often hear people say that they aren’t a decorator, they don’t know how to decorate cakes, so on and so forth. Let me tell you a secret. Me neither! I couldn’t tell a number 8 tip from a number 45 tip (or if those are frosting tips). I can’t freehand draw on paper, much {Read More}
You know those red velvet cupcakes I shared yesterday, well here is another fun way to make them, or ANY kind of cupcake. Just bake that baby right inside a waffle bowl… How fun is that? I put the batter directly into the bowls, just like they were cupcake liners. It always amuses me that red velvet cake batter looks exactly like ketchup. I’m easily amused, if that wasn’t obvious. I topped mine with frosting and chocolate coating, but you {Read More}
I have to say, I really love making cinnamon rolls with cake mix. While still the traditional cinnamon roll (yes, you still have to use yeast) they save a few steps and I have been really happy with the taste of each batch I’ve made. Last night I decided to give yellow cake mix a try and in my head yellow cake means birthday cake, which means sprinkles are required. This seems like a pretty fun way to start a {Read More}
I couldn’t help but notice this special package of Birthday Cake Oreos popping up all over the internet the past week or so… Well if Oreo wants to celebrate a birthday, who am I to not accept the invitation to join them? I mean they added SPRINKLES and we all know I love sprinkles. So let’s take a look… The first thing I noticed was a sweet smell – a different smell from regular Oreos. Someone mentioned it being similar {Read More}
I’ve had had so many requests for my cinnamon roll recipe that I had to let you all know that it’s not mine, it’s the work of Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. And it is insanely delicious. I started making cinnamon rolls using this recipe a few years ago, and they have become a holiday staple. Ree’s recipe makes a TON of cinnamon rolls, which works well if you want to give them out or if you want to lock {Read More}
Happy New Year! I hope that 2012 is off to a great start, and that this will be a wonderful year for everyone. In addition to today being the first day of a new year, Love From The Oven turns one year old today. Cute birthday subway art sign is from Eighteen 25 I have had such a fun year sharing recipes, ideas and the love of baking with everyone. It’s a bit surreal to think that a year ago {Read More}
I have another super quick and easy Halloween treat for you today… Oreo Pops! These are so simple to create and so delicious to eat. This is one of my go to treats when I need party favors or a cute themed snack. All you need is Oreos, melting chocolate, sprinkles, sticks and sugar decorations and you are good to go. Stick these in a small pail (I get mine from the dollar section at Target), add some cobwebs and {Read More}
Peace, Love & Cake Pops…. While I generally do not sell my sweets and treats, I do take special requests from friends and family. Last week one of my fellow dance moms (yes, I’m a dance mom – though I like to think not quite like these dance moms) asked me if I could make cake pops for her wonderful daughter’s 13th birthday. She’s a great girl who has always been super sweet to my daughter, so I was {Read More}
Sometimes you need a cake that is fancy. Sometimes you need a cake that is unique. Sometimes you need a cake that wows. And sometimes you just need a cake that is simple, delicious and timeless. This cake is my favorite chocolate cake recipe – it falls into the simple, delicious and timeless category. It’s crazy moist and super chocolatey and never lets me down. The recipe comes from a trusted baking friend of mine, the side of the {Read More}
Here is a fun idea that is really easy and oh so cute. Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats! My daughter was giddy when she saw them, and I have to admit, they are super cute in person. These would be a fun after school treat for the first day of school or a great party snack or party favor, especially with a rainbow theme. Here’s a previous post on how I make my chocolate covered Rice Krispy Treats. Think of the {Read More}
This weekend we will be hosting a party for our daughter’s first birthday. While I really don’t have a theme, I do have a color scheme – orange and pink. I’ve always admired the amazing candy buffets, dessert buffets and candy bars that are done at weddings and parties that stick to a color scheme, so I’ve decided to do the same for my daughter’s party. The food and drinks will all be orange and pink. While you can find {Read More}
