I’ll admit, I am completely and entirely brand-loyal to Pepsi products. I’m not quite sure where this stems from, but I always grew up with Pepsi products in my house and I just think Diet Pepsi tastes better. To each…

Carrot Cake
I will be honest: I hate carrot cake. Carrots are my least favorite vegetable. Pecans are not my favorite nut. And the combination of the two doesn’t make it any better for me. But, it’s springtime! It’s the Easter season….
Cereal & Milk Bars
I’m a sucker for anything that resembles a rice krispie treat. The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any type of cereal. I used Multi Grain Cheerios — but you could try just about anything else….
Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies
I’m not a religious person. I don’t belong to a church. I don’t have any particular attachment to Easter – except for the pretty colors, warmer weather, and CADBURY MINI EGGS. Honestly, what does Cadbury add to these little bites…
Butterscotch Birds’ Nests

Spumoni Cookies
Spumoni! Spumoni is an Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors. Cherry and pistachio are common flavors — but chocolate can also be used. I love anything spumoni-related, because I love cherries and I love pistachios….
Irish Potato Candies
During our 13+ hour time working on the superhero cake and cupcakes, Meghan mentioned that she bought all of the ingredients for Irish Potatoes. My immediate thought was, “what? Potatoes are potatoes.” Little did I know that she was referring…
Chocolate Cupcakes & Cooked Frosting
I’ve had cooked frosting on my to-make list for a while now. I was always so intrigued by it — a frosting that is made with milk and FLOUR and HEAT? What..the…f? I will admit that I was hesitant to…
Superhero Birthday Cake
I was asked to make a superhero birthday cake for a little boy who just turned 4. I jumped at the chance, as I usually don’t have the opportunity to make super cute birthday cakes. My inspiration for this cake…
Springtime Flower Cupcakes
March 20th is the first day of spring! Thank god. I live in the Midwest and couldn’t be more sick of winter, so I’m thrilled that spring is now “official”. To celebrate, here are some cute flower cupcakes. 1. Make…
