I’ve liked cookie dough for as long as I can remember. I think for me, it’s the yummy, almost crunchy flavor of the sugars, and the vanilla – that is so enticing. It’s just hard to resist going in for a spoonful when you’re making cookies at home. This recipe […]

I like all kinds of fruit muffins. My family definitely has assorted favorites. I also love the idea of a little cheesecake, in my muffin. This makes them moist, and a little creamy. I think everyone would like to PICK their favorite when presented with a tray of beautiful peach, […]
These Easter bunny butt cupcakes are so adorable! They feature a bunny digging in the “dirt”, aka: chocolate cookie crumbs, atop a chocolate cupcake. Super idea for any little one in your life. I made these for my 3 grand babies – can’t wait to see their faces when they […]
Two of my favorite flavors are chocolate and strawberry. I combined these into a delicious chocolate covered strawberry cupcake, using my Mom’s chocolate no-egg cake recipe, and a strawberry whipped cream filling. I’ve been trying to come up with a way to incorporate the flavor of strawberries into my mascarpone […]
I have a favorite strawberry bundt cake, that I thought would be perfect in a loaf pan. The texture of the cake is very much like a pound cake – so I knew this would be a ‘win”. I switched out the strawberries for blueberries, and this recipe made 2 […]
I created this cake for my food photography class this week. I wanted to make both a delicious interior, and a stunning, photo-worthy exterior! I started with 3 – 8″ layers of vanilla cake. I used my favorite King Arthur’s Golden Vanilla Cake mix, split evenly into 3 pans. I […]

Just in time for Easter! I first made these little birds nest cupcakes while my Elegantly Sweet Shoppe business was in full swing.
