A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
One thing I am big on is substitutions in baking, especially when it comes to things like muffins and quick breads. My oldest is an extremely picky eater and it has always been a challenge to get a good breakfast in her. Making over muffin recipes has been our saving grace.

I originally planned to take a look back and share my favorites from April through June, but geeze, April was a busy baking month with so many favorites that I decided they needed their own post. So let’s dig in to the yummy treats from April 2012… Oreo Truffle Stuffed Cupcakes With Cookies & Cream Frosting My much loved Oreo Truffles baked into a cupcake. Totally over the top. Totally delicious. Hot Cocoa Brownie Bowls With Two Minute Chocolate Mousse. {Read More}
I have a great recipe for you today that is easy to make and will give you a great new option for your holiday cookie trays. Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars! I was recently asked by McCormick to be a part of their Seconal Seven Flavors Holiday Program. So many of our favorite flavors of the holiday season center around seven different flavors… nutmeg, ginger, sage, vanilla, peppermint, poultry seasoning and cinnamon. I get to represent cinnamon, something I use all {Read More}
With all the news of Hostess closing up shop, and everyone worrying about Twinkies, I have to admit, my concern was with those little bits of goodness known as Hostess Donettes. What the heck would I eat on road trip stops at 6am? Well thankfully we can make really yummy mini donuts at home, and my favorite way to do that is with the Babycakes Mini Donut Maker. I have shared on here before how much I enjoy my Babycakes {Read More}
Who says that Halloween sweets and treats have to be all about the after dark fun? How about starting the day with some Halloween Donuts? I think yes! If you haven’t made homemade donuts, they are really simple. I use this donut pan, but if you do not have a donut pan, you could certainly make them in a muffin pan. These are baked, so while they don’t have the exact same taste/texture as the ones from the donut shop, {Read More}
Yesterday I shared the cool new Babycakes Flip Over Cake Pop Maker (head here to enter to win your own!). Today I want to tell you a bit more about the cookbook, 175 Best Babycakes Cake Pops Recipes by Kathy Moore & Roxanne Wyss. This cookbook is AWESOME. I’m not easily impressed with cookbooks, but this gets my seal of approval. Not only do all of the recipes look delish, but they have great how to info, tips and tricks {Read More}
I’ve mentioned a few (or twenty) times on here that I am a big fan of the Babycakes line of of products. I have a Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, Babycakes Cupcake Maker, Babycakes Pie Pop Maker and Babycakes Donut Maker. They all do a great job whipping up fun treats and are fabulous when you don’t want to heat up the entire kitchen (which is half the year here in Phoenix!). Babycakes just added another great product to their line {Read More}
I’ve been experimenting the past few months with putting hot cocoa mix in recipes in place of cocoa or other forms of chocolate. I have to say, the results have been extremely tasty. There were Hot Cocoa Cookies, Hot Cocoa Cupcakes and Hot Cocoa Brownie Bowls With Hot Cocoa Mousse. And today I want to share with you Hot Cocoa Donuts With Marshmallow Frosting & Chocolate Glaze… You may have had hot chocolate with your donuts, but have you {Read More}
All of my pretty Valentine’s Day sprinkles were just calling out to be used with donuts. Every time I make homemade donuts, I can’t believe that I don’t make them more often, because they are SO easy and so quick. And because they are baked, and not fried, they are a bit less sinful than Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme. I made this batch with white whole wheat flour, and while they a slightly different texture (not bad, just {Read More}
Here’s a look back at some of my favorite recipes from April – June of 2011… Stuffed Rice Krispies Treats Peeps Cookie Pops Donut Pops Chocolate Covered Caramel Brownie Pretzel Pops Ice Cream Cone Sundae Cupcakes Free Teacher Appreciation Printable Labels
I recently came across the cutest winter holiday donut decorating ideas on Pinterest and just had to try them myself. Reindeer donuts and snowman donuts. How cute are they??? LOVE them! Oh the cute ideas one can find on Pinterest. Unfortunately I can’t figure out who the original creative individual was that came up with the cute snowman donuts to give them credit. The reindeer donuts appear to be from Oriental Trading Company. These were both SO {Read More}
While I don’t exactly enjoy Monday mornings, donuts certainly make them a bit more tolerable. I can’t have donuts and not share, so I think you should have some as well. How about another great giveaway from Babycakes – their Babycakes Donut Maker, Doughnut Mix and a sample of the new Babycakes Dessert Coffee. The Babycakes Donut Maker allows you to make donuts at home, in less time than it takes to go to the donut shop - you can {Read More}
