Red Velvet Waffles
A couple of months ago, a good friend’s sister posted a picture of something I hadn’t seen before on my Facebook page…Red Velvet Waffles. As I stared at the picture in awe, I imagined myself sitting down in a quaint, upscale cafe enjoying this for brunch, along with a mimosa. Then heading out for aRead More
Rockin’ and Rollin’ 1950’s Cake
Click HERE to watch the slideshow of this cake! Back in December, my aunt asked me if I could make a cake for a high school reunion that she was putting together. It was a 1950’s themed party for the classes of 1965-1970, and I was happy to do it. At first, the cake was goingRead More

Pound Cake
The last time I had a pound cake was earlier this year at a birthday party, and someone else had made it. It’d been so long since I had one, and since it was covered in icing and decorations, the flavor threw me off since I wasn’t expecting it…and it was delicious. When my husbandRead More
Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
My dad is a HUGE fan of pretty much anything cherry, but especially cherry cheesecake. So when his birthday party came around this past year and I was deciding on menu items, this made the top of the dessert list. Well, along with his birthday cake, too. I don’t know what it is about bite size cheesecakes…maybeRead More
