Homemade Disney Vacation Fund Jar

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Nope. I don’t have food to share with you today. I have a craft instead. Some of you are probably totally not interested now, and that’s totally cool; food is freaking delicious. But. We are planning our next Disney vacation, and it’s gonna be a doozy, so I needed a Disney Vacation Fund jar. Needed ...

Perfectly Pinterest: Back to School Candy Pencil Cake

Friday, August 17, 2012

I really agonized this year over what to make for a Back to School treat. I try to do one every year (like my Fauxstess Cupcakes and my Chalkboard Cookies), and they’re always so much fun, but I was pretty stumped this year. I think with the kiddo going into his Junior year now, it’s ...

Perfectly Pinterest: Mini Typography Anniversary Cakes

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Let me tell you a little something about these cakes: they were a true labor of love. These are the cakes that I made, and the Hubster and I shared, for our tenth anniversary. Here’s a fun fact about the Hubster: he loves vintage typewriters. Not like, old 80s electric typewriters, but very old, clickety-clackety ...

Homemade Meringue Candy Necklaces

Thursday, February 9, 2012

I made the funnest thing ever this week. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what inspired it or how I thought it up. All I know is, I’m super glad about it. I wanted jewelry for Valentine’s Day; edible jewelry that I could share with my peeps (that’s you). What’s better than a candy ...

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

I made some muffins the other day. They were delicious and easy and made me happy. But seriously, how cute is that pan they’re in? I know you guys come here for food, but I’m currently as smitten with my new pan as I am with my new muffin recipe. So, before I share this ...

Perfectly Pinterested Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner: Caramel Filled Brownies and Beautiful, Easy Mums

Sunday, November 20, 2011

I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of mums laid out ...

Happy Birthday to my Dear Friend with Some Sweet Dolly Cookies

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Do you guys remember how I said on Monday that I was into a cuter, gentler Halloween? How I’m not into scary movies and stuff? Then why am I suddenly obsessed with The Walking Dead?! A couple of weeks ago, one of my friends statused on facebook about how she was mad at The Walking ...

Race Day Ruffle Cake and Fondant Ruffle Tutorial

Friday, May 27, 2011

This is my bicentennial post!! Very fitting. Have I mentioned that I’m an Indiana girl? Once or twice, huh? I grew up in “the crossroads of America.” The land of Larry Bird, Colts football, David Letterman and John Mellencamp, and basketball everywhere. The Hoosiers, the Boilermakers, and the Fighting Irish. And corn on all sides. But there’s ...

Topsy Turvy Mardi Gras Cupcakes

Friday, March 4, 2011

Well, my sis leaves today. I’m taking her to the airport this afternoon. It has been so amazing having her here…we don’t get to spend nearly enough time together. But I’m grateful for the time we do have, and I can hardly wait for us to see each other again! It’s a shame she’s leaving ...
