A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
This weekend we will be celebrating my Grandfather’s 90th Birthday and I took on the task of creating the desserts for the event. I wanted to try some new recipes, and work with some flavors that made me think of fall (I’m kind of desperate for fall right now). I whipped up three kinds of cupcakes, Pecan Pie Cupcakes, Snickerdoodle Cupcakes & Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes. Everyone in my house had a different favorite, my husband liked the Pecan Pie ones, {Read More}
I know it’s August. I know it’s supposed to be 115 degrees here in Phoenix today. I know fall (at least in the desert) is a long way off. But I’m tired of waiting. It’s time for pumpkin, my much loved, glorious, delicious, fabulous pumpkin. Pumpkin is one of my favorite ingredients to bake with, and the combo of pumpkin and cinnamon in the oven is blissful. So calendar and temperature aside, pumpkin season has arrived in this house. And {Read More}
Here are a few of the Black Friday Deals that I have seen for the kitchen, for cooks and for bakers… Kohl’s has a number of great deals, especially on two of my very favorite brands – KitchenAid and Babycakes. You can take 20% off with discount code CON20HH4. It looks like ALL of their KitchenAid Stand Mixers are on sale – even the gorgeous hot pink Raspberry Ice! A number of the mixers have a $50 rebate available, there {Read More}
It’s a busy weekend around here! My mom just bought a new house, and everyone is lending a hand and giving it generous amounts of TLC, elbow grease and deep cleaning to help make it in to the perfect little home for her before she moves in. It’s amazing how quickly hard work can transform a fixer upper that is structurally sound, but cosmetically “challenged” if you will. Since it’s almost impossible to get even simple tasks done with {Read More}
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I have to say that I am very thankful for all of the creative recipes and ideas that fabulous bakers and bloggers share. There are so many cute and creative Thanksgiving dessert ideas, and I love finding more of them. I never cease to be amazed by all of the phenomenal creations across the web. So much fun, so much inspiration and so much delicious food. I’m definitely thankful for all of the shared {Read More}
What do you get when you combine a cupcake with an ice cream cone? A really adorable (and portable!) treat that kids (and adults like myself) go crazy for. Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes! Over the summer I was visiting a friend who had these great pans that were made specifically for making ice cream cone cupcakes – pure baking brilliance! Years ago I tried to make these by balancing my cones in a muffin pan, and it was an {Read More}
Pie = Good. Pops = Good. Pie Pops = AWESOME! Babycakes recently released some great new items, including a Babycakes Pie Pop Maker. As they say on their website, what could possibly be cuter than pie? Why, mini pies on a stick, of course! Say “Hi” cutie pie! Not only do I have my step by step review to share with you (with Chocolate Pie Pops, Pumpkin Spice Pie Pops and Peppermint Crunch Pie Pops), but the great folks at {Read More}
I thought I would start something new here – a weekly wrap up of what I shared here on Love From The Oven over the past week – basically what was “Sweet This Week”. Because there are so many FABULOUS bloggers out there doing such great things, I will also share some of my favorite finds of the week. So here we go… Friday featured a Halloween Recipe Round Up of all of the Halloween Treat recipes you can {Read More}
When I stopped by Trader Joe’s this morning to pick up a few essentials I was THRILLED to see that the store was full of amazing seasonal and holiday items. I resisted the urge to rip open a few boxes and consume them mid-isle, and instead decided to be bold with the camera phone so that I could share these great goodies with you. If I had known I’d hit the holiday jackpot, I would have brought an actual camera, {Read More}

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. THANK YOU FOR ENTERING! I love Fall. I mean serious soul mate love, it’s not a crush or passing admiration. Living in Phoenix, summer is just about survival. Surviving the misery that is 118 degree days. When you combine of the end of that heat with pumpkins, baking, spices, costumes, holidays and all that good stuff, you get my very favorite time of the year. To celebrate my favorite time of the year, and to thank {Read More}
Mmmmm. More pumpkin. But before we talk about today’s recipe, I have to ask – is it just me, or is it really annoying when stores only carry canned pumpkin pie mix and not actual canned pumpkin? This is a pet peeve of mine, I mean if you can only manage to carry one pumpkin item, make it actual PUMPKIN. I can make a pie from a can of pumpkin, but I don’t know what the heck else I’d use {Read More}
