Well, my niece’s birthday party was held a couple of weeks ago, and I had the honor of making a cake for this precious little girl. Last year, I made her a Garden Girl birthday cake, and this year her mom told me that she wanted a pink edible car. Done. I bought the carRead More
After experimenting with the layered chocolate cheesecake cake, I decided to use a different flavor and put them into a jumbo cupcake size. Sounds like a good plan, right? I agree. From getting other people’s opinions, one of the most liked flavors that I hear people melt when this flavor is mentioned, is red velvet. Read More
One of my favorite things about the weekends is making breakfast for the family. My husband and daughter love the grits that I make, but personally I’m a huge fan of pancakes. Whenever we go out to eat for breakfast, that’s what I always end up getting. Look at them, all golden and fluffy. HowRead More
As I’ve mentioned before, my husband’s family is a bunch of tiramisu junkies. If you want to see several of them drool at the mention of food, just say the word around them. Sometimes it’s just fun to say. I actually made this for our 5th anniversary…the timing was perfect. The hubster loved it, andRead More
In my family, we call this “Nanner Puddin.” Don’t forget the Southern twang with that phrase, too. My brother and I are goofy though, since neither one of us likes chunks of banana in our pudding…so I had to get creative. I knew that just using banana flavored pudding mix wouldn’t be good enough, soRead More
I’ll never forget the first time I had a blondie. A group of us had gone out to eat at a chain restaurant, and I was flipping through the dessert menu…and there it was. A blonde brownie topped with chocolate ice cream and caramel sauce. Holy cow, I have to get that I thought toRead More
Holy cow, is there something actually healthy on here? I can’t believe it. Well, actually I can. Since I’ve battled two illnesses here recently that were back to back (stomach virus and viral infection), it was a true wake-up call for me to start eating healthier and incorporating more vegetables into my diet to strengthenRead More
A couple of weeks ago, I took an Oreo pie over to some family friends of my parents. We were chit chatting about different dessert recipes, and she said, “I have something for you.” She walked into the kitchen and came back, holding a can of Macademia nuts from Hawaii. I stared at them inRead More
With the “Cars” movies, it seems as though Lightning McQueen isn’t the true character in the spotlight… It’s the loveable, goofy and fun Tow Mater. My brother’s good friend has a son who is a huge fan of Tow Mater, and he asked me if I could make some cupcakes for the birthday party. HeRead More
Well, I finally made it over to the Cheesecake Factory when we were in Charlotte over the holiday weekend visiting family. I’ve drooled over their menu for months now, and my mother-in-law and I were talking about how we wanted to go by there while we were visiting. They have such a large menu withRead More
