Hot holiday hint: everyone loves edible gifts. I like baking for people because one can only have so many pairs of slippers or mini bottles of scented lotion, but there really is no such thing as too many desserts. Especially around the holidays, am I right?! Fudge has always been one of my favorite holiday treats [Read more >>]
Chocolate Dipped “Good Fortune” Cookies
I cannot believe that 2015 is this week. Seriously, I thought I was just celebrating 2014 last month — now you mean to tell me it’s already a new year?!

New Years Chocolate Party Hats
I’m fairly certain these would look adorable sitting on a dessert platter for your New Year’s Eve party.

This year I’m bringing these NYE chocolate party [Read more >>]

Turtle Cheecake in a shot glass = see ‘turtle cheesecake’ + New Year’s party(!?) + a totally fun way to serve cheescake. It also meant, me, stocking up on shot glasses. The store clerk probably thought I was ready for a boozy night of fun. But in reality…she [Read more >>] If you asked me to choose my favorite recipes from 2011, at first I would tell you – no problemo, piece of cake. In fact, it’s not a piece of cake (literally or figuratively, I guess). Its like asking a parent to choose their favorite child. Some are just too cute not to be included. Some too delicious. [Read more >>] I found these at this super cute blog, Sweet Tooth. Warning: be prepared to want to bake your heart out for the next week year after visiting her site. I seriously printed out 5 recipes and added them to my Recipes I Must Bake Real Soon queue. That queue is huge by the way. I [Read more >>] Pin It Fun to make, even more fun to eat and decide what to stuff in them! I was really feeling like blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
