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
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.

Wow, that’s a long name. Well worth it though, considering all of the chocolate and yumminess inside. When I made these, my brother and friend were at my house. They were in another room, chatting away, with no clue as to what I was doing in the kitchen. I figured it would be best toRead More
While my cousin and I were on the phone one day, the topic of crescent rolls came up, and we start talking about how we both loved them. Then, I started thinking about the honey butter crescent rolls at California Dreaming. Then, my mouth started to water, and I wanted some crescent rolls. Even thoughRead More
When my sister-in-law first told me about this recipe, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Well, I finally got around to it last night, and it was absolutely…insanely…incredible. I cooked dinner for some family and friends, and dessert was a HUGE hit. After I heard my husband scraping his bowl and mumbling about howRead More
Yay, polka dots! My sister-in-law actually sent me a link of a cake that was baked with polka dots. She claimed that her kitchen might blow up if she attempted this, but thought I would be interested. Heck yeah, I was. When I clicked on the link and saw that the original idea of thisRead More
