Mini Strawberry Cheesecake
Sometimes making a whole cheesecake can be daunting. I wanted to make a strawberry cheesecake for a friend who was graduating, but honestly didn’t have the time to bake a full-size cheesecake since the one I made last year took what felt like forever to bake. I mean, it was delicious and looked beautiful but […]

Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
It’s national peanut butter day! In honor of the day I made some peanut butter frosting to put on my chocolate cupcakes. You’re probably about to lose some respect for me here but I should just go ahead and let you know that I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate. I’ll eat […]

Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes
I think I’ve mentioned this before but I really struggle with gluten free baking. Maybe some of it has been the recipes I’ve used, but trying to determine when something is done can be difficult in my opinion. It’s definitely gotten a little easier over the last few years but I’ve also been lucky to […]

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 11: King Cake
Before I begin talking about the recipe I feel like I should give a disclaimer. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat king cake before Epiphany (Jan 6) because it’ll bring you bad luck. I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I […]

Magic Flan Cake
I really wanted to have this posted before Halloween since this dessert is called “Magic Flan Cake,” but I didn’t get a chance to make it last week. This recipe is a lot of fun because you put the cake batter mixture and flan mixture swap places during the baking process. You can read more […]

Strawberry Cream Cake
Imagine a giant strawberry shortcake and that’s this cake. I don’t want to give any spoilers on the taste here but I can’t help it – this cake is soooo good! This cake portion of this recipe isn’t too difficult but I continue to have issues when I have to fold whipped egg whites into […]

Strawberry Limeade Bundt Cake
I thought this recipe would be fun to kick-off my summer fruit fest. Over the next two months I’ll be posting various fruit recipes to celebrate summer. A co-worker recently brought in a key lime cake that tasted more lemony than limey (is that a real word??) so I decided maybe I’d try something to […]

Original Cake Pan Cake
I love cake and a layer cake is probably one of my favorite classic desserts. While cake is great, sometimes you don’t want all of that cake lying around right? Or maybe you just need a quick and delicious cake this weekend for Mother’s Day! While many companies make cake mixes proportioned for an 8 […]

Dairy Free Chocolate Cake
My colleague recommended this dairy free chocolate cake so I decided to give it a try. The actual cake recipe is super easy and honestly one of the best chocolate cake recipes I’ve made in a long time. I also love that it’s enough for 3 layers which is great too! For the vegan buttermilk […]

Speckled Malted Coconut Cake
The photo of this cake on Country Living’s website is just stunning and after running across this recipe I knew I was going to have to try it. I’m not a huge fan of coconut cake, much less malt, but it was just too pretty to not test out. Plus my coworkers are pretty awesome […]
