Pumpkin Cupcakes

My pumpkin spice cupcakes are chock full of real pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg! I cored and filled with a homemade vanilla pudding, then topped with buttercream; both regular and pumpkin-shaped! I have a soft spot for pumpkin everything but as you might know, I hate fondant. Yes I use it but only...

Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

These cupcakes are a chocolate lover’s dream come true. The cake is rich, and fudgey but with a fluffy consistency that melts in your mouth. I love pairing them with a dreamy chocolate Swiss buttercream since it’s so creamy, and light but not too sweet. I have a link below for my decadent and sweeter...

Mini Apple Pies

So I was perusing Pinterest — in an effort to try something new — when I stumbled upon these miniature, apple pies. I had to give it a go! That said, I differed from the original recipe in the respect that I didn’t want to use canned apple pie filling or pre-made pastry dough. That...

Apple Pie Recipe

This ICONIC American dessert is so good when done right. Tender apples bursting with flavor get brightened up with a hit of lemon and are the perfect contrast to that crisp flakey butter crust. Instead of adding lots of flour or cornstarch to thicken the filling I cook the juices down into an apple caramel,...

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Adding pecans to pumpkin cinnamon rolls is literally the best thing ever. The taste and crunch they add complements the soft pillowy dough. HOWEVER cutting the rolls when you add anything hard is a bit more difficult. I made sure to turn my “log” after each cut so it wouldn’t flatten too much. I also...

Spider Web Cake

This cake used my ultimate chocolate cake recipe but it gets topped with a chocolate fudge buttercream. Adding a really nice quality fudge to your chocolate buttercream with a touch more salt just takes the flavor all the way to a hundred and makes for a great pairing with the super-moist cake. If you don’t...

How to Get Perfect Flat Cake Layers

Few things frustrate me more than domed cake layers with burnt edges. I make cakes QUITE often so you can imagine I like things to go smoothly especially since I’m usually filming and sharing the results. When I first started out my cakes had a very “home made“ look about them, the corners were rounded...

Apple Fritters

I love a crunchy apple fritter. It’s SO much easier to make than a donut since there’s no yeast, no rising, no waiting. Just mix it up, fry away, and enjoy! My fritters have a touch of lemon inside and in the glaze to wake the flavors up but you can also roll in cinnamon...

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a giant pumpkin cake! OK first off I know many of you won’t have time to go all out and make an almost real looking pumpkin, but that’s OK! Just make the cake and serve with the glaze of your choice, slather it in cream cheese frosting, or...
