At the end of this post, feel free to cast your vote as to whether you would try a dark chocolate bacon cupcake! You either love it or you hate it – the dark chocolate bacon cupcake. When I first heard about this cupcake over at No One Puts Cupcake In A Corner I was [...]

I was a huge skeptic of the microwave mug cake when I first heard about it, well over a year ago now. How could a microwave produce a good cake? I tried out the recipe soon and discovered that the microwave could not produce a good cake! I believe I overcooked it, as it was super rubbery [...]

I’m not sure if I was looking in the wrong place, but it seems I had a hard time finding a chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe. I could have just made up my own recipe, or a sort of Frankenstein combination, if you will, of a few different cookie recipes, but just as I was about [...]

I’m not too fond of hard candy, but I’ve been determined to make my own toffee for a few months now. I kept putting it off because, like a lot of others, I was scared of using the candy thermometer! In my search for an easy toffee recipe, I came across Paula Deen’s, which looked [...]

Okay, so that wasn’t much of a hiatus, was it! Let’s just say that I guess I won’t be going on a hiatus, I just won’t be updating quite as often! Anyway, what did bring me out of my hiatus was Bakerella’s post about cowgirl/boy cookies. Her cookie-mix-in-a-jar was so adorable! I’m definitely going to [...]

I was this close to entering July’s Iron Cupcake: Earth herb challenge, but couldn’t find the herbs I wanted – I wanted them fresh. But I decided to go ahead and try the cupcake I wanted to make, but without the herbs, just for fun. It ended up being one of my favorite cupcakes that [...]

On a recent visit to My Baking Addiction I saw a faux Hostess cupcake. Like Jamie, I keep seeing these cupcakes over and over again and have tried to keep from baking them myself. I thought that there were way too many out there already, and they looked just a little time-consuming. But Jamie’s version [...]

When I first heard that one could make donuts out of Pillsbury’s refrigerated biscuit dough, I had to give it a go. It didn’t seem to make much sense, after all, this is a biscuit that you eat with dinner, not dessert! It took me a while to get around to making these. I think [...]

When I was living with my parents and in my later years of high school, there was a watermelon Jello pie recipe that I just loved. I made it at family gatherings and a few cookouts over the years. I haven’t been able to find watermelon Jello anymore, but this particular recipe will accomodate any [...]

I really have been in a pancake mood lately. I really liked my chocolate chip pancakes and wanted to make them again, but I thought I’d do something different this time – make peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes! The peanut butter pancake recipe comes from Sunny Anderson; I just added the chocolate chips myself. I [...]
