A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Any of you who follow me on Instagram know that I am always snapping and sharing pics of my two girls. While I absolutely adore posed, formal photos, I always feel like the candid moments are the ones that we look back on that tell the stories and take us back in time. I look back at the photo on the top of this post on the left, of my now nine year old daughter, and remember those little {Read More}
What is more fun than Legos? How about chocolate Legos. On cupcakes. For the past two years my daughter has been a member of her school’s FIRST LEGO League Robotics team. It has been a great experience for her that has involved teamwork, math, technology, science and finding solutions to real world challenges. I wanted to share a bit about it, just based on our positive experiences (I’m not associated with it any way other than as a parent). I {Read More}
Hello. Have we met? Well, you’ve probably met my sweets and treats, but have we actually met? I always enjoy getting to know the people behind things, so I thought I would take a little time today to say hello, without cookies or PEEPS or camera in hand, and let you look behind the blog. Truth be told I’m probably much more outgoing in written word than I am in person, but since I don’t actually live in the kitchen, {Read More}
I’m a big list person. I probably have lists of lists. I keep pen and paper next to my bed in case I need to get something onto a list at 2am. As much as I love my iPhone, I tend to prefer my lists on paper, probably because I can cross things off and scribble on them (as well as tape them to things like the doors I need to walk through in the morning – did I mention {Read More}
After seeing the amazing new LG Super Capacity 3 Door French Door Refrigerator With Door-In-Door on a commercial recently, I had to get a look at this refrigerator myself. As fabulous as it looked on television, it was even more amazing in person. Can you fall in love with a fridge? Yes. Yes you can. The Door-In-Door feature is truly brilliant (as is the capacity!). In my home, it really is the same couple of items that we grab out {Read More}
Does it seem like you aren’t seeing some of your favorite pages on Facebook lately? Wondering why your favorite pages don’t seem to be posting very often? There is a good chance that you are not seeing all of the posts of the pages you have “liked” on Facebook. Facebook recently changed the way that pages show up in your news feed. Facebook is now “encouraging” pages, like Love From The Oven and your favorite websites, blogs & brands, to {Read More}
When you are the baker in the family, it is not uncommon that you just might have to bake your own birthday cakes. I’m okay with that and since today I find myself turning a year older (how does that keep happening???), I thought I’d make some cupcakes that feature a few of my favorite things… Which means chocolate and vanilla zebra striped cupcakes topped with hot pink & black sprinkles and Hello Kitty. You’d think I was turning 13, {Read More}
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}
For a few months now I’ve been dreaming about re-doing my kitchen. There’s the type or re-do I’d love to do (that whole cabinets, counter tops, floors, take it out of the 70′s tract home look type of thing), and there’s the reality re-do, which is more like paint and some accessories. My kitchen has been a lovely deep dark shade of red (Raspberry Truffle from Benjamin Moore to be exact – which really was the perfect red for us) {Read More}
This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! How adorable is this Scentsy Cupcake Wamer? Super cute, and I’m super excited that Scentsy Escential Consultant, Becky Huang is going to give one away to one of my readers, along with the Scentsy Scent Of The Month ~ Birthday Cake (perfect for a July birthday girl like myself!). Becky sent me one to try and I was very impressed with the quality (my fist time trying Scentsy) and the scent {Read More}
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU! I have another treat that’s not from the oven… A personalized pure silver cupcake necklace to giveaway! Making jewelry is my day job, and I have one piece of jewelry that brings baking into the mix. My Cupcake Cutie necklace. I gave one away back in April, and figure it’s about time for another giveaway. These are custom made to order, using a really cool recycled pure silver (99.9%), and personalized with {Read More}
It’s supposed to be around 115 degrees this weekend in Phoenix. Ha. Nice. I could probably just throw cookie dough on the back patio and call that baking. Well, on second thought, I’d rather stay inside and just eat the dough. Love me some cookie dough. But anyways – here are two more no bake treats that you can whip up quickly! Chocolate Covered Marshmallows Pops. Here’s how I make mine, and here is how I make an insane caramel {Read More}
