A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I’ll be honest, it’s felt like quite a risk to step out of my kitchen and share a bit more of my personal life on this blog. I worry that people looking for cake pops will be all confused and upset about a post that doesn’t include buttercream. I worry about exposing so much of myself, my feelings and who I am, especially when it really isn’t sugar coated. Cake pops are safe to share, life and emotions, not so {Read More}
I’ve done my share of fundraising over the years for different causes, but I’ve just started my most personal fundraising journey – raising money for Apraxia Of Speech, a neurological disorder that our daughter has, and is severely impacted by. I have shared before what apraxia is as well as talking about The Childhood Apraxia Of Speech Association of America.

CASANA is the only nonprofit public charity exclusively dedicated to children with {Read More}
There are days that are good. There are days that are bad. And there are some days that are hard. Today is hard. I always feel like I need to immediately add a disclaimer – it could be so much worse. I’ve watched friend’s lose spouses at young ages, children go through cancer, terrible awful soul breaking devastation. I’m always aware of how blessed we are, and I am so thankful for that every day and am so aware at {Read More}
This is more of a personal post than a baking post, one of my “behind the blog” type of posts. And a long one! 2012 has been an extremely busy year here in the Love From The Oven house. In addition to baking up sweets and treats and sharing recipes, tips, my favorite links and more, life behind the blog has been busy, chaotic and sometimes a little crazy. While I’m not one who is big on “resolutions”, I always {Read More}
