Put down your thermometer and eggs because this marshmallow recipe doesn’t need them! Super easy to make and soft, fluffy marshmallows every time! I really love to make food for people. Not only do I enjoy the actual process of baking and cooking, I also enjoy seeing people’s reactions when they taste what I’ve made. …

Vanilla Matcha Latte Popsicles
Wow, Sydney! How warm has it been this winter! While I’m usually quite fond of the cooler weather that our winter brings, I’ve found that these unseasonably warmer temperatures are the perfect excuse to make popsicles. I recently discovered Zip Pops, which provide a healthy alternative to those unnaturally colored icy poles available at the…
Vanilla Donut Muffins
I am not an outdoors-y sort of person at all. I don’t like bugs (especially moths) or dirt or the hot, glaring sun; I’d much rather observe things that live outside through a window, safe in the comfort of my own home. I know that sounds crazy, and honestly, I’m not a recluse!
UFO Cupcakes
We celebrated my son’s second birthday yesterday with some “out of this world” cupcakes! Inspiration for these came from the 2010 Donna Hay Magazine kid’s issue. Yes, I’ve had these cupcakes in my head for over one year! Finally the opportunity came to make them for myself.

Half-Birthday Cupcakes
Babies are cute. I oughta know, I’ve had three of them. My latest installment was a baby boy, six months ago. His name is Miles. He’s been the sweetest, cutest and most patient of my three. He smiles and giggles at anything and sleeps mostly through the night. You couldn’t ask for much more out…
Vanilla Raspberry White Chocolate Cupcakes
As we’re waiting for the final verdict on December’s Cupcake Hero challenge, I thought I’d post about these cupcakes that my daughter and I made shortly before we left the US. What makes these cupcakes extra special is that they were completely made up by my 4-year-old daughter.
Baby Shower Cupcakes
A couple of months ago a friend asked me if I’d like to bake two dozen cupcakes for a baby shower she was hosting for a friend of her’s. Of course I said that I would, and that day was today. She requested one dozen vanilla cupcakes and one dozen strawberry cupcakes, and for both…
Congrats, It’s A Girl! Cupcakes
A friend of mine recently had a baby girl and a group of friends got together to bring the new mom meals and treats in these first few weeks. Of course I volunteered to bring cupcakes! I used Magnolia Bakery’s vanilla cupcake recipe and the following vanilla frosting recipe…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
My inspiration for my chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes came from How To Eat A Cupcake. I love chocolate chip cookie dough and had never heard of this type of cupcake, so when I saw this recipe I just had to make it for myself! I didn’t follow the same recipe as How To Eat…
