My mom’s birthday was on April 11th. Her favorite desserts always involve lemon, so I decided to make her this adorable lemon poppy seed layer cake. The cake turns out to be relatively small, because each layer is only 3…

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made these cookies a few weeks ago in celebration of my mom’s birthday. She loves anything having to do with toffee and these cookies were delicious! Chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and toffee bits were incorporated into the dough….
Pistachio Cake
Hmmm… what’s in this delicious-looking Bundt cake covered in sprinkles of powdered sugar? Pistachio and chocolate cake! This recipe is super easy (thank youuuu, box cake mix) and fast… and of course, it’s delicious. Because pistachios are involved. Though I…

These cupcakes are SUPER easy to make — great if you need a quick dessert for your Easter dinner or an easy treat to make for your kids. I went the box-mix-and-tub-of-frosting route on these, but you can always make…
Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes
Cadbury Creme Eggs: you either love them or you hate them. My friend Meghan and I made these cupcakes last week and nearly lapsed into diabetic comas because of their SWEETNESS! The frosting is incredibly rich and sweet, but is…
Brown Butter Rice Krispie Bars
These are rice krispie treats… with a twist. Browning the butter gives these treats a different flavor – they become more rich, filled with nutty undertones, and infinitely more delicious. They are just as easy to make as regular rice…
Salted Peanut Bars
Mmmm. Three of my favorite things: peanuts, caramel, and marshmallows. All combined into one chewy, ooey, gooey treat.
Chocolate Cheese Fudge
