Food Styling Challenge {White Chocolate Confetti Cake}
Cake decorating is not my forte, at all. You might remember that when I took a cake decorating class through Wilton several years ago, I made roses that looked like cabbage heads. My skills are quite comical. Well, my daughter, Kelly, is currently taking a cake decorating class for 4-H. She seems to be a [...]
Baby Love {Recipe: Neapolitan Cream Filled Cupcakes}
I remember the day we found out our first baby was going to be a boy. I, of course, was happy to find out he was healthy but I was beside myself with worry about what I’d do with a boy. I am a girly girl, all the way around, and for some reason just [...]
The Particular Randomness of Spiced Pear Cake
Today I feel like being random then sharing this awesome recipe with you. So here are my random thoughts from today… When you wear a blazer as part of your outfit but the weather gets colder than blazer weather, do you wear a jacket or coat over your blazer? What’s the right thing to do [...]
Holding On To Summer {Recipe: Sinful Lemon Cake}
Summer is slipping away. The funny thing is, as much as I love summer, as soon as the kids start back to school I am more than ready for autumn to make its presence known. The crispness in the air, the colorful hues adorning the trees, football and pumpkin…all are my cue that summer is [...]
Great Expectations {Recipe: Root Beer Float Cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Buttercream}

Failure Rebound {Recipe: Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Jelly Glaze}

I make bundt cakes all the time and think they are one of the most beautiful cakes around. I don’t always blog the cakes [...]
Time to Brag {Recipe: Mom’s Best Angel Food Cake}
I know that bragging isn’t always flattering, but I’m throwing all of that out the window today and am going to spend this post bragging about my husband. I married a really good guy and am very lucky. Sure there are times we don’t get along and when I can’t wait for him to leave [...]
Blame It On Pinterest {Recipe: Millie’s White Cupcakes}
Pin It I’m going to blame it on Pinterest… You know the feeling that what you are doing just isn’t adequate? That feeling. This Halloween, that feeling is thanks to Pinterest. I volunteered to make the snack for my son’s 4th grade Halloween party. I’m a simple gal when it comes to baking and treats. [...]
Distracted Cleaning {Recipe: Oatmeal Pumpkin Bundt Cake}
Okay, okay… I know I just shared a Bundt cake recipe with you. And yes, two Bundt cake recipes in a row is probably a bit much, but I couldn’t help myself. This recipe was inspired by a pantry cleaning project. This past Saturday I was bound and determined to get my pantry in tip [...]
