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}
So after recently realizing that I can write on the glass in picture frames using my whiteboard markers, I’ve started branching out, and writing on other things. This one might be my favorite yet… Yeah, maybe I’m late to the party, but I’m just figuring this out. You can totally write on pretty much any glass using whiteboard markers. How fun is this? You can use it to leave a love note right on the glass of your shake, smoothie, {Read More}
Sticking with my keeping it simple theme this week, here are some sweet & simple Valentine Marshmallow Pops for you today… These are made using the Jumbo Mallow Hearts from Jet Puffed, Chocolate Coating, Mini Heart Sprinkles and Party Straws. Like everything else I turn into a pop, I start by dipping the sticks in chocolate and then inserting them into the soon to be pop, in this case the marshmallows. Then into the freezer they go to chill for {Read More}
So the treat I have to share with you today combines a whole lot of stuff that I love… Rice Krispies Treats. Cute Paper Straws. Valentine’s Day. Sprinkles. Alternative Holiday Colors. And best of all – they are super simple to make. Ah, how cute are these little guys? Love! And best of all – no baking! I used premade Rice Krispies Treats to make these (you can totally make yours from scratch – whatever works for YOU!). I simply {Read More}
A quick and easy idea for you today – White Chocolate Dipped Valentine Cookies… Remember the Sweetheart Pink Heart White Chocolate Chip Cookies I made last week? These are those same cookies (literally, same batch!) but instead of putting them into the heart shaped whoopie pie pan, I just made them as I normally make drop cookies. After baking the drop style cookies and letting them fully cool, I dipped them into a white chocolate coating and added sprinkles. As {Read More}
So on one hand, it’s totally rainbow colored awesomeness to have a collection of sprinkles. On another hand, it can be a challenge to find a place to store all of those sweet little things. You need to have a way to store all those pretty sprinkles. A few years ago I realized that I used my sprinkles FAR more often than I ever used the fancy glasses and bowls that were taking up space in one of my cupboards, {Read More}
Now that we’ve talked about all the different kinds of sprinkles that are out there, let’s talk about where to buy them. And how to win them (I have a sweet giveaway for you!). As I have shared many times, my favorite place to buy my sprinkles is ABC Cake Decorating Supply in Phoenix. I have been shopping there for over 15 years – I actually use to live a block away and would walk there when I was in {Read More}
Let’s talk about one of my favorite things. Sprinkles. I don’t just like sprinkles, I love them. There is something simple and sweet and just plain happy about sprinkles. Plain sprinkles, fancy sprinkles, holiday sprinkles, you name it, I love sprinkles. Any cupcake, cookie or sweet treat can be transformed with these sweet little things. I know that many of you feel the same way, so I’ve decided to devote this week to sprinkles. Yes, a whole week about sprinkles. {Read More}
So I love Halloween. I love pink. I love bling. So a bling-ed up cake pop stick combined with pink, black and white for a Pink-O-Ween style chocolate covered Oreo pops? Oh, I am ALL about that! These are so darn adorable I can barely stand it. So much of what I love all wrapped into one. I made these chocolate covered Oreo Pops using the treats in my Spook-Tacular Halloween kit from Kraft (head over here to enter to {Read More}
For my birthday last month, my mom picked me up a Cakesicle Maker… And you can make cute things with it. Things like this… And like this… And even like this… It’s pretty simple to use, you can use a regular cake mix, no modifications needed. You put one tablespoon of cake batter into each of the little wells and bake for about two minutes. Now I say “about” two minutes, because the temperature was a bit up and down. {Read More}
We have a good friend who does fundraising each year for Breast Cancer Awareness, and I like to come up with some sweet treats to help her with that whenever I can. Add that to the fact that we had not one, but two women we care about undergo breast cancer surgery in the past week, and it’s certainly something that is on my mind. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up soon, I figure it’s time to start coming {Read More}
