Cake Pops – Keeping It Quick, Easy And Cute

colorful cake pops

While I love to bake, and think I can make some pretty tasty treats, a baked goods decorator I am not.  I will never be able to turn cakepops into art like Bakerella, decorate cakes like Sprinkle Bakes or decorate a cookie like Sugarbelle or Sweetopia. So what’s a non decorating baker to do?   Basically, just fake it.   Colorful sprinkles and candies  can go a long way in making your treats look cute.  Here are some cake pops that I {Read More}

Peace Sign Cake Pops

how to make cake pops

Peace, Love & Cake Pops…. While I generally do not sell my sweets and treats, I do take special requests from friends and family.  Last week one of my fellow dance moms (yes, I’m a dance mom – though I like to think not quite like these dance moms) asked me if I could make cake pops for her wonderful daughter’s 13th birthday.   She’s a great girl who has always been super sweet to my daughter, so I was {Read More}

Banana Bread Muffins In The Babycakes Cupcake Maker

making muffins in babycakes cupcake maker

Without a doubt the recipe I make the most often is my chocolate chip banana bread muffins.  They are quite possibly my proudest creation as a baker, because my kids love them and they are pretty darn healthy for being a tasty muffin.    Well, at least until you slather butter all over them (the things you’ll do for a photo…). As I was mixing up a batch this morning I realized that I had yet to try muffins in my {Read More}

While I think it’s perfectly acceptable to have cupcakes for dinner, my inner mom voice seems to think that I should create dinners with things like proteins and vegetables for my children.   Okay, fine, I’ll play along, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make it fun.   Cupcakes + Dinner = Mini Chicken Pot Pies made in the Babycakes Cupcake Maker. These were really easy to make and taste great.    I used the ready made pie crusts that you can pick {Read More}
