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}
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}
I have to say, I really love making cinnamon rolls with cake mix. While still the traditional cinnamon roll (yes, you still have to use yeast) they save a few steps and I have been really happy with the taste of each batch I’ve made. Last night I decided to give yellow cake mix a try and in my head yellow cake means birthday cake, which means sprinkles are required. This seems like a pretty fun way to start a {Read More}
I couldn’t help but notice this special package of Birthday Cake Oreos popping up all over the internet the past week or so… Well if Oreo wants to celebrate a birthday, who am I to not accept the invitation to join them? I mean they added SPRINKLES and we all know I love sprinkles. So let’s take a look… The first thing I noticed was a sweet smell – a different smell from regular Oreos. Someone mentioned it being similar {Read More}
I’ve had had so many requests for my cinnamon roll recipe that I had to let you all know that it’s not mine, it’s the work of Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. And it is insanely delicious. I started making cinnamon rolls using this recipe a few years ago, and they have become a holiday staple. Ree’s recipe makes a TON of cinnamon rolls, which works well if you want to give them out or if you want to lock {Read More}
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}
Sometimes you need a cake that is fancy. Sometimes you need a cake that is unique. Sometimes you need a cake that wows. And sometimes you just need a cake that is simple, delicious and timeless. This cake is my favorite chocolate cake recipe – it falls into the simple, delicious and timeless category. It’s crazy moist and super chocolatey and never lets me down. The recipe comes from a trusted baking friend of mine, the side of the {Read More}
