I’m a complete sucker for Valentine’s Day. It all began way back in Mrs. Goldberg’s kindergarten class when we got to decorate our Valentine’s Day boxes. We covered those babies with so much glitter and stickers they would have made Lisa Frank proud. In addition to working tirelessly to transform plain shoeboxes into something that really represented who you [Read more >>]
One of my favorite things about the holidays is the FOOD. Let’s get real here. No one really eats a boatload of peppermint or stuffs their faces with gingerbread during any other time of year. And if we’re being honest, I only really care about things like hot cocoa and truffles when the temps drop [Read more >>]
So I apologize to anyone in advance, but when it comes to Halloween, I get way too excited and immediately lose all semblance of willpower around bright bags of chocolate candy, pumpkin everything, spooky decor, and Halloween treats. It’s like the second stores break out the pumpkin goodies and plastic bat decorations, my mind kind [Read more >>]
You might remember a couple weeks ago when I made THESE awesome cake pops. My Little Cupcake was generous enough to send me a variety pack of their cake pop molds to test out! The verdict? I’m in love… I also thought it would be a great opportunity to host a giveaway… An awesome giveaway that includes: [Read more >>]
Isn’t he just so dang cute?! I love his facial expressions. Do young kids even know who Pinocchio is? I sure hope so, otherwise this is going to be a total fail. These would be adorable to have at a birthday party. In fact, I’m going to make sure my kids see every classic Disney movie. Have [Read more >>]
Can I tell you the truth about my relationship with peanut butter!? I love peanut butter on apples. However, I’m not the biggest fan of peanut butter cookies (I know, I’m crazy). Plus, I’m totally picky about the brand of peanut butter I use - if it’s with apples, has to be Mara Natha. But please, if [Read more >>]
You may remember back in March I had a huge cake ball project. HUGE, as in 2000+ cake balls! That’s roughly 55 regular sized cakes (9×13″ pans). Or about 12 full sheet cakes! Plus a whole lotta frosting. Not to mention about 66 POUNDS of CANDIQUIK! Holy moly. These cake bites fed the guests that attended the 2012 Taste of [Read more >>]
Who would’ve thought these little Turkey Cake Pops would be so popular!!? Ok, ok, so as soon as I made them and looked at their googly little eyes, big beak and candy corn tail – I knew. They just have so much personality! Each one of them. Whether they have a cute face or stink face. [Read more >>]
These were SO fun to make. And even more fun to eat. Carrot cake + cream cheese frosting… definitely one of my favorite cake pop flavors. Which character is your favorite? These cats are pretty darn cute. First things first – you will need some basic supplies and pinch of patience. Feel free to make all [Read more >>]
Pin It Will you be mine? How about if I give you a bouquet of roses? Made of cake? Covered in chocolate!? Yeah, I thought so.
Every once in a while I dip whatever I can find in CANDIQUIK… Sometimes I turn CANDIQUIK into cookies. Sometimes into cake…cheesecake too. Sometimes bread… Even animals and characters…true story. Today involves dipping…and we have lots of sugar, peanut butter, regular butter, chocolate, ohhhh and more sugar, to bring you – homemade peanut butter balls coated [Read more >>]
