A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
You know those red velvet cupcakes I shared yesterday, well here is another fun way to make them, or ANY kind of cupcake. Just bake that baby right inside a waffle bowl… How fun is that? I put the batter directly into the bowls, just like they were cupcake liners. It always amuses me that red velvet cake batter looks exactly like ketchup. I’m easily amused, if that wasn’t obvious. I topped mine with frosting and chocolate coating, but you {Read More}
Can I offer you a cute cupcake to kick off your week? I have only wanted to dip frosted cupcakes in chocolate for like, ever. I finally did. Yay! And it wasn’t nearly as hard as I kept thinking it would be. I did not use a homemade recipe for these, though if you would like one, I’d highly highly suggest my pink velvet recipe, which you can make any color you’d like! Instead I used a box of Duncan {Read More}

I have a sweet giveaway for you today that combines two of my favorite things. Cupcakes & Jewelry! Recently I came across a super cute necklace and bracelet on Zulily that I ordered for both my daughter and her BFF. It was from a company called Sugar & Vine, and I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect and hoped for the best. I was beyond thrilled when they showed up and were super cute. I LOVED them (as did the {Read More}
Someone just had a baby! And that someone would be the amazingly talented & endlessly creative Meaghan Mountford, author of “Sugarlicious” and the blogger behind The Decorated Cookie and Edible Crafts at Craft Gossip. It’s mind boggling how much Meaghan does, and how she does it all so very well. I am so excited to be sharing a treat today in the virtual baby shower for Meaghan and the arrival of her second daughter, Violet Lake, who was born earlier {Read More}

My contribution to this collection is my Christmas Cupcake Cones. I love, {Read More}
I really am such a lucky girl that I get to create yummy treats for one of my favorite companies, PEEPS. When I say I’m a long time fan, I mean like life long. The photo to the left would be me, mid-70′s, with PEEPS. I would shave some years off my age and say that was the mid-80′s, but let’s be honest, that couch doesn’t lie. I have so much fun coming up with different ways to enjoy PEEPS {Read More}
What is more fun than Legos? How about chocolate Legos. On cupcakes. For the past two years my daughter has been a member of her school’s FIRST LEGO League Robotics team. It has been a great experience for her that has involved teamwork, math, technology, science and finding solutions to real world challenges. I wanted to share a bit about it, just based on our positive experiences (I’m not associated with it any way other than as a parent). I {Read More}
McCormick recently asked me to be a part of their Spooky Squad, and share some of their (and my) fun Halloween ideas with my readers, as well as host a giveaway full of great Halloween baking goodies. McCormick has a number of fun Halloween recipes up on their website and on their Monster Mash Pinterest board. I decided to make their Candy Corn Cupcakes and put my own spin on them by topping them with Candy Corn Cake Pops. You {Read More}
Pecans + Pie + Cupcakes. Why the heck not? I don’t bake with nuts very often. It’s not because I don’t like them (love them actually), it’s because I have a nut allergy kiddo. My husband and I still use peanut butter (our daughter’s allergy is to tree nuts, but she also avoids all peanut products), but baking with tree nuts requires a good amount of extra time to make certain that there is no chance of cross contamination. Dessert {Read More}
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}
