A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
One more fun way to use the Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream Frosting I made. This frosting just looks too much like ice cream to NOT use it, well, like ice cream. And what a fun & festive way to do so for St. Patrick’s Day! Oh my word, seriously these are the cutest little things EVER. I have an overwhelming desire to make a million different versions of them. I used the tiny little Joy Mini Cup Cones (found at {Read More}
This weekend I made some super yummy Mint (or Vanilla, your choice!) Chocolate Chip Buttercream Bites. Well obviously if I’m going to make Bites, I have to make Pops. Hello Frosting Pops! To me this is like a dream come true, because as much as I love cake, and cake pops, what I really truly love is the frosting! In this case, Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream Pops. Yum, yum, YUM. On the outside they look like regular cake pops… But {Read More}
With St. Patrick’s day approaching, there are SO many adorable rainbow treats and sweets all over the web that I couldn’t resist doing a Rainbow Recipe Round Up. I’ll start with two of my own recipes, Chocolate Covered Rainbow Rice Krispies Treat Pops And Rainbow Cake Pop Cupcakes Now let’s take a look at what colorful creations bakers and bloggers are creating. Would it be really cheesy if I said you can almost taste the rainbow? Sorry, I had to. {Read More}
When it comes to all things in the baking world, one of my favorites has always been frosting. Sweet, delicious, creamy, wonderful, buttercream frosting. I’ve often joked that cupcakes are simply carriers for frosting. It’s all about the frosting. Which is why I decided it was about time that my pop making focused on my favorite part of this baking game. The buttercream. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it did, and it did well. Let me introduce {Read More}
With St. Patrick’s Day just a week away, I guess it’s time to see what kind of great green recipes are out there across the web. I’ve had quite a bit of fun creating my own green recipes the past few years, so I will start by sharing some of my creations. I find that with two ingredients, I can make almost anything into a fun St. Patrick’s Day recipe. The stars of the green recipe show are McCormick’s Green {Read More}
It’s been one of those weeks around here at Love From The Oven. Computers on the fritz, lots of homework and a poor little toddler with a cold and strep throat. Finally tests for the week are done, computer running properly and little one with a big dose of antibiotics in her, we are hopefully on track to a calmer weekend. Knock on wood! I’ve had a list of treats in my head I’ve been wanting to make for St. {Read More}
Over the weekend I decided to re-create a bundt cake that I made last year for St. Patrick’s Day… Such a fun colorful cake, and I have to give all the credit for the idea on this one to the amazing Cooking With Sugar. She makes some of the funnest cakes ever. Go check out her site! This year I wanted to make the cake from scratch instead of using a mix. I learned two things in that process… First {Read More}
Summertime is S’mores time. Okay, any time is s’mores time, but summer is a great excuse to make some. While these s’mores don’t have the flame roasted thing going on, they are quick, easy to transport to those summer get togethers and they taste great. You need the usual s’mores stuff – chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. I used the JUMBO StarMallows, which not only give you the s’mores taste, but also make for festive and easy decorating. I started {Read More}
One of the older dancers at my daughter’s dance studio recently celebrated her 19th birthday. She’s one of the sweetest girls, an amazing dancer and a truly excellent role model in that she has a work ethic that you just don’t tend to see a lot these days. I figured instead of just making cupcakes, I’d ask her what she would like me to make for her birthday. After some thought, she asked if I could turn a box {Read More}
I recently came across the most amazing bundt cakes over at Cooking With Sugar. The only way I can describe them is that they look like a party on a plate – they are packed full of color, color and more color. And sprinkles. Check out her Valentine’s Day Melting Heart Bundt Cake – it’s g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. There is just something about these colorful bundt cakes that makes me feel like a kid full of cake excitement. My head is {Read More}
Now that it’s time to put away all the pink (boo!), it’s time to pull out the green. Last year I did a series of posts using a green velvet cake recipe. One of my favorite treats from that cake was the green velvet cake pops… The green is so bright and just POPS. The cute shamrock sprinkles can be ordered here and the green sprinkles here. And of course you can get both, and more, from ABC Cake Decorating. {Read More}
It was on January 1st of this year that I started Love From The Oven. My original idea was to simply have a place I could keep track of my own recipes. I’m terribly disorganized with paper, I need everything to be searchable by computer! I also wanted to have a way to share my recipes with the friends and family members that ask for them. It quickly grew into so much more, and it has been such an amazing {Read More}
