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}
So after recently realizing that I can write on the glass in picture frames using my whiteboard markers, I’ve started branching out, and writing on other things. This one might be my favorite yet… Yeah, maybe I’m late to the party, but I’m just figuring this out. You can totally write on pretty much any glass using whiteboard markers. How fun is this? You can use it to leave a love note right on the glass of your shake, smoothie, {Read More}
So on one hand, it’s totally rainbow colored awesomeness to have a collection of sprinkles. On another hand, it can be a challenge to find a place to store all of those sweet little things. You need to have a way to store all those pretty sprinkles. A few years ago I realized that I used my sprinkles FAR more often than I ever used the fancy glasses and bowls that were taking up space in one of my cupboards, {Read More}
Now that we’ve talked about all the different kinds of sprinkles that are out there, let’s talk about where to buy them. And how to win them (I have a sweet giveaway for you!). As I have shared many times, my favorite place to buy my sprinkles is ABC Cake Decorating Supply in Phoenix. I have been shopping there for over 15 years – I actually use to live a block away and would walk there when I was in {Read More}
Let’s talk about one of my favorite things. Sprinkles. I don’t just like sprinkles, I love them. There is something simple and sweet and just plain happy about sprinkles. Plain sprinkles, fancy sprinkles, holiday sprinkles, you name it, I love sprinkles. Any cupcake, cookie or sweet treat can be transformed with these sweet little things. I know that many of you feel the same way, so I’ve decided to devote this week to sprinkles. Yes, a whole week about sprinkles. {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}
Wow, how is it July already? The kiddos have been keeping me super busy this summer, so the treats I’m whipping up these days are almost all quick and easy to create. Like these chocolate covered Oreo pops… You can whip these up in no time. You just need some Oreos, sprinkles, chocolate coating and if desired you can add some Jet-Puffed StarMallows. For step by step instructions on how I make these, check out this post. I always start {Read More}
It’s that time of year, time for the happy, sugary iconic Easter PEEPS to make their appearance. It’s no secret that I love PEEPS and am always looking for fun ways to make them even sweeter. One of my favorite ways to quickly make unique treats using PEEPS is to dip them in chocolate and cover them in sprinkles. These chocolate dipped Easter PEEPS are a slightly different spin on last year’s chocolate covered PEEPS pops. Here is what you {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}
Just a few more examples of what you can do with some pretzels, chocolate and sprinkles! You can check out my how to post and video here. Sweetheart Pretzel… Pretty Valentine Color Sprinkles… Edible Pink Glitter Pretzels… All of my sprinkles come from ABC Cake Decorating.
One of the topics I see come up the most often in my comments has to do with melting chocolate. Chocolate that’s too thick. Chocolate that’s too runny. Chocolate challenges. Why is my chocolate so thick? How do I think out my chocolate? Why isn’t my chocolate setting up? These are very common questions. I am NOT an expert and do not claim to be, but since this seems to be a challenge that so many people share, I thought {Read More}
