A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Yesterday I shared my new favorite cupcake, the Pumpkin Pie Cupcake. Today I’m going to share my daughter’s favorite – the Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcake. This is kind of crazy, but I went the majority of my life having never tried a snickerdoodle. I’m not sure how that happens, I think I must have always been distracted by other cookies. On a trip to Disneyland a few years back, I was looking for the Disneyland bakery snickerdoodles, as I wanted to {Read More}
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}
Getting out of bed at the crack of dawn with the kiddos somehow seems a little bit a lot harder on the weekends. As I’m dragging myself out of bed, I console myself with the thought of what yummy breakfast I can whip up. My breakfast ideas this morning were quickly interrupted (kind of like my sleep!) this morning with my daughter’s request for something pumpkin for breakfast. Given that I had half a can of pumpkin in the fridge, {Read More}
I’m sooooo excited to share this with you. The amazingly talented, creative and downright awesome Bakerella has a new cake pop kit coming out in September – for kids! It will soon be on the shelves at Toys R Us very soon. Inspired by Angie’s (aka Bakerella‘s) book, Cake Pops: Tips, Tricks & Recipes For More Than 40 Irresistible Mini Treats, this kit lets little ones play and create cake pops at home. Both my daughter and myself were {Read More}
Wow, that’s a long name for a brownie. Thankfully it’s easier (and probably quicker) to bake these than to pronounce them. I made these using a box brownie mix, Jif’s new Mocha Cappuccino Hazelnut Spread & Biscoff Cookies. If you have a favorite brownie recipe, you could easily use that instead of a mix, but this is a great way to doctor up a mix quickly and easily. I made my mix according to package directions and just added some {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}
Most often when I can find canned pumpkin (and not the darn pumpkin pie mix in a can), I find the larger size can, which means if I am going to make one pumpkin recipe, I’m likely going to need to make a second to use all of the pumpkin. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with pumpkin bread. And it turns out adding some Biscoff to it is mighty tasty. This recipe is based off of my {Read More}
For a while now, readers have been asking if there is an easy way to print out the recipes here on Love From The Oven. And the honest answer has been “not so much”. I’ve tried putting some recipes into PDFs that you can download, but truth be told, I haven’t done it nearly as often as I should. Well I am excited to tell you that printable recipes are here! I have added ZipList to Love From The Oven, {Read More}
I’ve decided I’m not going to wait on fall to show itself, instead I’m going to do my best to manufacture it myself. I can’t seem to do much about the miserable temperature here in Phoenix, but I can fill my home with the wonderful scent of pumpkin and cinnamon. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, bring it on. Today it’s pumpkin cookies. Lowfat Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Cookies to be exact. These are hearty, chewy cookies that pack in some {Read More}
I usually try to create treats that look nice. I love when it’s possible to strike a balance between something being both visually appealing and totally delicious. But sometimes you just have to throw that out the door and make something like these… Over The Top Marshmallow Pretzel Pops. A lot to say. Heck, a lot to eat. These are kind of completely excessive. You have a giant marshmallow, a pretzel rod, caramel, chocolate, pretzel pieces and M&M’s. All in {Read More}
Thankfully Halloween is coming up, because the cute little cakesicles I made are the perfect shape for making little headstones. You can whip up a whole cupcake graveyard, and they would be darling on a cake as well. Ah, so many fun ways to use these when whipping up spooky sweets and treats for Halloween. They would be fabulous outside a haunted gingerbread house. I can’t have Halloween without a dose of Jack Skellington. Cue the music… “this is Halloween, {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}
