I am a big, big believer in showing failures as well as successes. Well here’s a failure for you. Kind of. I wanted to make these beautiful cupcakes. I followed directions, cut into them, and, well, they just didn’t look…

FrankenCake
It’s a FrankenCake! I’ll be posting a lot of Halloween treats this week and I’m starting with this cake. I saw it on Pinterest and knew that I had to give it a try. I mean, really. How adorable, right?…
Bakery Review: Classy Girl Cupcakes
I decided recently that I want to try more bakeries. Really, this is just a justification to eat more baked goods. But I want to see more of what Milwaukee (or wherever I am at the moment) has to offer…
Pumpkin M&M Cookies
Oh look, another pumpkin recipe! My parents and I were at Target a few weeks ago. My Dad grabbed a bag of pumpkin M&Ms and said, “I bet these would be good in a cookie.” That was his sort of…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
OK, so I know that I have mentioned again and again that I’m not a huge fan of pumpking. HOWEVER, when enough chocolate is involved, I can get on board with just about anything. This bread has mini chocolate chips…
Halloween Puppy Chow
Puppppppy chowwwww! I absolutely love it. This is a seasonal take on the classic oh-so-addicting snack. This recipe involves candy corn and Reese’s Pieces — but feel free to use whatever seasonal candies you’d like. Indian corn would work well…
Caramel Apple Cupcakes
It’s October! My favorite month of the year! The time for sweaters, chilly weather, beautiful trees, pumpkin carving, Halloween, apple cider, the smell of burning leaves, and, well, it’s just the season of ultimate coziness. I read a quote on…
Strawberry Pop Tart Cupcakes
There were a few foods that I wasn’t allowed to eat when I was a kid. Not that my parents were overly snobby about food (they weren’t), but my mom cringed at the thought of me eating two things: Kraft…
Rainbow Brownies
Aren’t these dreamy? I can’t stop staring at the pretty colors. And the best part? They are so, so easy. Seriously. If you need to make a treat for a get-together or a party — and want to make a big…
S’mores Puppy Chow
I know that summer is pretty much gone for most of us, but we had a bit of an Indian Summer here in Milwaukee a few weeks ago. It was in the 90s and very unlike September. Thankfully that nonsense…
Brown Butter Rolo Toffee Cookies
My mom, culinarily speaking, is obsessed with two things: Rolos and anything having to do with toffee. This recipe popped up on Pinterest and within 5 minutes, I had it printed out and a grocery list made for the required…
Breaking Bad Cookies
OK, who else is obsessed with Breaking Bad? I think it’s one of the best shows of all time. That may sound overly dramatic, but if you’ve seen the show, you know I’m right. Oddly, I hated the show during the first…
