When I made these, I walked around the house all day, thinking, “How clever am I? Watch me make up a funny portmanteau for these!” (Because ...

Boo-tiful Cupcakes: Hi Hat Ghosts!

Thursday, October 28, 2010

Okay, okay…technically these aren’t hi hats, but yours hopefully will be. As you’ll recall from yesterday, I have been unsuccessful in all attempts to melt white chocolate.

Homemade Halloween Candy That’s a Scream to Make: Pumpkin Seed Brittle

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

When Halloween rolls around, everyone is all like, “candy, candy, CANDY!!” but nobody seems to actually make too much of it. Most people (myself included) make cupcakes or fun cookies.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Monday, October 11, 2010

I’m sure that everyone is aware, by now, that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to my heart because I lost an unbelievably awesome aunt to the illness just a few years ago.
