I saw this dinosaur cake in a magazine and just HAD to make it. But the question was: who would I make a dinosaur cake for? The answer was easy. My friend Amelia, who loves dinosaurs just as much as…

Almond Butter Cookies
Isn’t the rainbow background just precious? ;) But really, I think these cookies are deserving of such a magical background. They are buttery and just melt in your mouth. These little nuggets of deliciousness are also called Mexican Wedding Cookies…
Mini Black & White Cookies
Pardon the crappy photo. It was about midnight when I finished these and didn’t have any natural light to work with! These cookies turned out really well. The cookie tastes more like cake. New York bakers used to make these…
Triple Citrus Cupcakes
Happy 07.08.09! I am here to bring you yet another Martha Stewart Cupcakes recipe. I just can’t help it. Another useless piece of trivia about me is that my favorite color combination is orange, yellow, and green (yes, I’m enough…
Loaded Oatmeal Cookies
I saw this recipe of Paula Deen’s and just had to try it. Paula can do no wrong, in my humble baking/cooking opinion. And even though I’m not a huge fan of raisins and walnuts, I figured the brown butter…
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July to all of the Americans that read this blog! I decided to make chocolate surprise cupcakes for the occasion. They are filled with a cream cheese/chocolate chip mixture and are delicious! But I’m biased toward all…
Rhubarb Crumb Coffee Cake

Mint-Filled Brownie Cupcakes
I bought Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes book the day it was released. Yes, I was THAT excited. An entire book of Martha Stewart cupcake recipes. Say what you will about the woman, she and her team always produce consistently GREAT recipes….
Cookbook Shop
I spent this past weekend in New York City. One of the places I insisted we visit was Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks. It’s a tiny little shop in Greenwich Village that sells nothing but cookbooks. It was HEAVEN. I could have…
Homemade Oreos
Oreos are one of my favorite store-bought cookies. But I know that they are really unhealthy, filled with preservatives and additives, and heavily processed. I still eat them from time to time, but I wanted to try to make a…
Snickerdoodles
I love everything having to do with cinnamon. Cinnamon candies, cinnamon rolls, and of course, snickerdoodles. I decided to make these as I dip my feet back into my baking hobby, figuratively speaking of course. ;) The recipe was taken…
Our Unplanned Hiatus
The blog has been DEAD for a while, hasn’t it? Well, not to make excuses… eh… whatever, I’m going to make excuses. I’ve been consumed with moving from Illinois to Wisconsin (but hurrrrrrah for being back in my home state!)…
