Summer’s officially gone, Labor Day has passed, and just about every kid in the world is back in school! I used to LOVE the back-to-school season. My mom would take me to every store in town so I could search…

Beach Birthday Cake
Happy birthday to Isla! My friend Meghan babysits for Isla and her old brother Townes (you may remember that I made him a super hero cake back in March). Isla turned 1 last week and her parents requested a beach/Hawaiian-themed…
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
Lemonade (or pink lemonade, if you prefer) is a staple of summertime. But today is the first day of September and summer is ending. I might be in the minority on this, but I’m looking forward to autumn — cooler…
Pink & Blue Mini Cupcakes
One of my former co-workers is expecting a baby in early October (hi, Jenny!). Our former boss hosted a cookout last week and I decided to make mini cupcakes for dessert — with a baby girl/baby boy theme! The mom-to-be…
Farm Cake
My friend (and cake decorating partner-in-crime) Meghan and I wanted to make a Thank You cake for the assistant director of our graduate program. Barb has been part mother, part friend, part problem-solver, part chocolate supplier, and a constant and…

Peanut Butter Pie
I currently follow about two hundred baking/food blogs on my Google Reader. One of those blogs belongs to Jennifer Perillo. Jennifer lost her husband Mike last week due to a massive and sudden heart attack. He left behind Jennifer and…
Candy Melt Pretzel Bites
I think this was the fastest recipe I’ve ever made. From start to finish, it took me about 10 minutes to make all of these. Super easy and quick treat — and kids will love them because of the colors!…
Candy Land Cake
Candy Land has always been my favorite board game. Even as a twenty-something, I still ADORE it. It reminds me of being a kid and all of the memories of playing the game with my grandparents. It’s a classic game that…
Cookies Inspired by “Up”
Please visit my wonderful friend Amber’s blog, Bluebonnets & Brownies, as I am guest-posting for her today. xoxo
Baby Shower Cake
As you remember from Monday, I made Care Bear cupcakes for a baby shower. Well, this was the other cake I made for the same shower! Needed to balance the 80s cartoon fun with a little elegance. I don’t really…
