Come May 16th, I will be an official wedding cake baker. Because on May 16th my best friend is getting married and I am making her wedding cake! Am I nervous about making the cake, yes. Kind of freaking out about the cake, yes. Excited about being a wedding cake baker, yes! I’m just praying […]
Tiramisu. Have you had it before? The soft, sweet yet not too sweet, coffee-y, melt in your mouth Italian dessert? The flavor is unique, and I’ve never heard of anyone not liking it. I don’t think I ever tried Tiramisu until college. We don’t often go out to eat, and even less often order dessert. But […]
If I could live on pasta salad, I would. I practically do in the summer. There are weeks when I eat it for lunch, dinner and all the snacks in between. Sometimes even without a bowl, just straight from the fridge with a fork. It’s ok, my roommate doesn’t judge because she does the same […]
Things I love about baking at my parent’s house: KitchenAid mixer!!! Giant butcher block island. Double oven. Always having every ingredient I can possibly think of. Surround sound kitchen speakers and XM radio. Things I don’t love: I can never, ever, find anything. Once my sister and I left for college Mom and Dad moved […]

I know, I know. I’m wayyyy behind on the popsicle bandwagon. I tried making some rum and coke popsicles last summer and had such high hopes! Until they didn’t set up (note to self…don’t try making popsicles so strong you can get drunk off them…) and they just tasted…blah. I’m not sure if I didn’t have the […]

Two posts in a row that involve peanut butter… yep, I’m on a PB kick. But then again, when am I not? My cousin is getting married in less than two weeks. We just celebrated her bachelorette party in Vegas at the end of May and let me tell you, nothing will encourage you to […]
Confession: I have a huge sweet tooth (shocker, I know). Mostly for chocolate. I rarely ever crave candy or other sweets…but I think on a weekly basis I say something along the lines of “OMG I need chocolate!” While I have been known to bake brownies at midnight or eat a mug cake for two […]
Remember last week I confessed my love of cheesy carbs? It’s a real thing. Case in point: two cheesy snacks back to back. Cheeze-its. Goldfish. Cheddar Bunnies. I love them all. They’re the kind of snacks someone will have to physically take out of my hands before I eat the whole bag in one sitting. […]
The Giants are in the World Series!! The 3rd time in 5 years!! And I went to Game 4! We sure are spoiled as Giants fans So in honor of game 6 tonight (watching the game as I write this and trying to keep the tears from spilling on my keyboard…), I decided to make […]
To be honest, I really didn’t know that royal icing was “fancy” or that many people rarely or never use it. We just called it “frosting” and it was the only way I knew how to frost cookies! Royal icing will dry into a smooth, hard finish that looks very professional. Any little bumps or […]
Tis the season for zucchini! I’ve already started seeing coworkers leaving their extras in the break room at work. I’m slightly ashamed to say though, I have no homegrown zucchini this year I got the “grey bugs of death” on my plants and there was no saving them. Normally by this time of year we have dozens […]
