If you missed it, sweet baby Miles arrived June 14th. I was able to have a VBAC and although my labor was long and there were a couple of scares along the way (I was THIS close to having a c-section again) it was so worth it and an experience I’m very grateful for! Baby…
Cakes
Funfetti Cheesecake Bars
Okay, these babies are just down right dangerous. Brett ate half the pan the first night I made them. The next day I finally dug into them too and sent him a text saying “These bars are good! Now I know why you ate half the pan last night;)” He…
Earthquake Cake
Brett and I took dinner to some friends that just had their first baby, and I made this Earthquake Cake for dessert. Typically you’d make this in a 9×13 inch cake pan but because most new mom’s are trying to lose the baby weight, and because it’s just the two of them plus the new…
Texas Sheet Cake
Chocolate cake is one of my favorite desserts. Simple yet oh so satisfying. A while back, we went to dinner with a big group of friends and even though we had a reservation, ended up waiting for about 45 minutes to be seated. We were all too busy talking and catching up to…
Pumpkin Lust Cake
You guys. This pumpkin lust cake is like the new pumpkin pie. At least it will be at our Thanksgiving dinner this year. It is so so good! I sent it to work with Brett on Monday for his company Halloween party. But I had to cut a teeny tiny square out of the corner…
Snickerdoodle Sheet Cake
I first tried snicker doodle cake at a good friend’s baby shower just a couple of weeks ago. It was a layer cake- and in between each layer, and slathered all over the top and sides, was the most amazing brown sugar cinnamon buttercream. I had that cake on my mind for…
Vanilla Bean Paste Giveaway & Vanilla Bean Coffee Cake
For the last few months I’ve been baking with Vanilla Bean Paste. Oh. my. word. It has changed my world of baking. Vanilla Bean Paste is a cheaper and easier alternative to use when a recipe calls for whole vanilla beans, but I’ve been using it in my every day baking too. Cookies and cakes…
Banana Whip Cream Cake
The banana whip cream snack cake I posted the other day got deleted due to blogger’s issues yesterday. So here’s the recipe, again. This is a delicious snack cake to be eaten all day!
The Best Chocolate Cupcakes
My little guy turned one last week! One year has never gone by so fast. Does time kick into turbo once you have kids or what? Anyways, my husband’s parents made a last minute, quick trip to Utah so we celebrated Owen’s birthday a day early with them. There’s been a lot of hype…
Seven days of Sweets for your Sweetheart Day 3: Chocolate Cinnamon Mini Heart Cakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Cinnamon is a powerful, natural aphrodisiac. Pairing it with chocolate makes for a very increased appetite (wink. wink). Know what I mean? Just kidding. Kind of. That’s just what I’ve heard;) But chocolate and cinnamon really are a perfect pair, and these little cakes are quite cute and tasty. The chocolate buttercream frosting…
