My mom used to make these cookies when I was just a little boy and OMG they are AMAZING! So amazing in fact that I never forgot them, even after we lost the set used to make them and the memory became increasingly distant. So let me break it down for you, These are paper-thin…
Rose Cookies
I made a batch of my FAVORITE no spread sugar cookies the other day and even though I have hundreds of cookie cutters I just can’t stop using me circles, so clean and classic! This recipe has seriously never let me down, the addition of corn starch is basically magic as it allows the dough…
Moist Vanilla Cupcake Recipe
So believe it or not, out of all of the many desserts I make these simple vanilla cupcakes are the most requested treat among my circle of friends. Being friends with me does mean I will be taking birthday cake and cupcake requests. 😀I’ve made this recipe for years and was SHOCKED when I realized…
Lavender Cake
I love a nice relaxing afternoon tea, there’s something so wonderful about sitting with some friends or a good book and just enjoying a moment respite from an increasingly hectic world. I have recipes for an assortment of tea sandwiches and scones on the blog but I hadn’t gotten around to a proper dessert to…
Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake
This pound cake is beyond addictive, which is really dangerous when a recipe is this easy to make! I think poppy seeds get a bad wrap because of sad, stale, and often oily store-bought muffins. In this cake they add a wonderful pop of texture and I love the way they look suspended in each…
White Bean Paste
I piped these purple clematis flowers with a frosting made of nothing more than beans and sugar with a dash or food coloring. It was my very first time piping with white bean paste and I’ve got a long way to go with my technique but I am sharing the recipe by popular request. I…
Flower Cookies
There are so many amazing flowers you can pipe with buttercream. I’m pretty good at roses and can do a fair daisy, but there are so many more flowers you can make! I had a good amount of Italian meringue buttercream left over from a cake I had just made to I baked up some…
Funfetti Cake
Here’s my completed — and already devoured — Funfetti Cake! Why are confetti sprinkles so cute, yet so hard to find??? I had to MANUALLY remove all of the chocolate jimmies from a bag to make this cake. In the end, it was worth it. I love the color scheme and all the cute sprinkles on…
Easter Bunny Cake
This strawberry easter cake is so delicious! Take the bunny and eggs off and make this any time you need an amazing cake. I made buttercream roses instead of fondant flowers and made my own flavor profile for the cake up. I love the pink to yellow pastel ombré, it’s so cheerful!! The cake is…
Bunny Butt Cupcakes
These cupcakes might just be the perfect treat for Easter. The grass is super-easy to pipe and the little butts are easier than you might think! If you want to have both ends of the bunny, or just use less fondant you can make these bunny ear cupcakes too! Aren’t they cute? When I bake these…
Easter Cookies
My little bird’s nest cookies are the perfect treat for Easter or any spring-time gathering! I started off with a batch of my no-spread sugar cookie dough then rolled it out and cut little circles for the base. I bought a set of concentric ring cutters and they’ve come in so handy! I made a…

A special holiday calls for a special cake, which in this case has lots of stripes a bunny butt on top and the most moist and rich chocolate cake ever inside! So first off, if you’re a bit intimidated by the design scheme here but still want to make a really pretty Easter cake then…
Bunny Cookies
My chocolate bunny cookies are a really fun holiday treat and if nothing else I think you’ll love the no-spread sugar cookie recipe! You can totally make white or even pink bunnies with this recipe by substituting the chocolate for a white candy melt. Don’t try to use white chocolate, you’ll end up in tears….
Bunny Ear Cupcakes
Last year I made bunny butt cupcakes for an Easter treat and I LITERALLY could not stop staring at them. They were SO CUTE (not to toot my own horn or anything ? ). This year I thought I would give some attention to the bunny’s other end hehe and make bunny ear cupcakes. The first couple…
Easter Egg Cake
This cake is a must make if you love vanilla. It is so moist and easy to make that I have a feeling it will become your new go to cake recipe. You’re just sifting the dry ingredients and giving them a whisk then mixing all the wet ingredients and finally combining the two, mixing…
