Mini Tiered Flower Garden Cakes

Friday, March 29, 2013

When I was a little girl, my parents the Easter Bunny always put my, and my sisters’, Easter baskets at the foot of our beds. I’m not sure how that tradition started, but it was every, single year. I don’t remember ever being sneaky and trying to catch Santa Claus in the act on Christmas…I ...

Homemade Almond Joy Brownies

Thursday, March 7, 2013

You know how when it’s three o’clock in the morning, and you’re sound asleep, and your significant other coughs right in your face? You know you do. We all hate it. Yeah, well, now make it be your dog. Not. Cool. Loki decided that the middle of the night last night was the right time ...

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! You know how I told you guys that we don’t really celebrate V-day around here? Well, I was telling the truth, but you wanna know what I woke up to this morning?? I’ll tell you what. A Valentine’s Day gift. That’s right. The Hubster got up early, went downstairs, and set ...

Cinnamon Red Hots Shortbread Cookies

Monday, February 4, 2013

So, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl yesterday. In fact, I didn’t even know it was Super Bowl Sunday until right around lunchtime, when I saw something mentioned on Facebook. I’m sure it’s no great surprise that I’m not into sports. I mean, I dunno…I grew up watching football, cheering on the Colts. Basketball was ...

Cookie Butter Brownie Truffles

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Day two of blogiversary celebrations, and, as promised, more chocolate. MOAR CHOCOLATE!! Ahem. Sorry. I knew I wanted a yummy kind of truffly brownie goodness covered in white chocolate this time, but I had a really tough time deciding what flavors I should use. In the end, the only thing that stopped these from being ...

Cocoa Nib Almond Buttercrunch Toffee

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Yesterday, I had to deal with a worker person in my house. I’m very particular with worker people being in my house. It’s not worker people, in general, that I have a problem with…they are, in all the instances I’ve worked with them, hard working, honest, friendly, and kind. Usually, they tend to be a ...

The Best of Bakingdom: 2012

Monday, December 31, 2012

2012. It’s over. This was, for me, at least, one of the fastest years ever, while also being interminably slow. Starting out fast paced with a move to the West coast, it slowed way down for the almost four months I had to wait for the Hubster to come home for good. Since then, though, ...

Peppermint Week: Peppermint Crunch Chocolate Kringles

Monday, December 17, 2012

I spent this weekend snuggled in with all of my boys. We wasted lots of gas and electricity running the fireplace all weekend and keeping the Christmas tree lit 24 hours a day. We played video games, watched movies, and made meals together. We gave our furry baby special hot dinners, and we ate our ...

Perfectly Pinterest: Melted Snowman Lollipops

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

I’m not sure I understand Elf on the Shelf. I mean, I think it’s adorable. From what I gather, the little fella, or gal, pops in to keep an eye on kiddos, and make sure they’re staying outta trouble, yes? The elves report back to the Big Man himself on whether the kids are being ...

Spiced Latte Meringues with Pumpkin Cream Filling

Thursday, November 15, 2012

My husband doesn’t understand Internet Life. He thinks that people have to know each other or something to be friends. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of. I have lots of friends who I’ve never met In Real Life (IRL). I mean, we move all around all the time, so I have tons of ...
