Who needs candy bars when you’ve got cake? I’d pick cake just about any day, but with this one, you don’t have to choose! It combines the sweet and salty flavors of caramel, peanuts, and pretzels to make a Hershey’s Gold-esque layer cake! It all started when earlier this year, a coworker brought mini Hershey’s…

Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake
This post is going to involve lots of confessions. Cue Usher. Now we’re ready. Confession #1: When I make recipes, I don’t *usually* test them. I get an idea and make it happen. Yes, this could lead to a flaws in my recipes here and there, but (a) I am not a professional, (b) remaking…
#NoBanNoWall Cupcakes
So I’ve been pretty quiet up in here on the political scene, and that’s not without cause. (Disclaimer: When I speak up on something, I want to be 100% sure I know what the heck I’m talking about and 100% sure that I support it.) In the past few weeks, though, it’s painfully obvious how…
Muddy’s Bakeshop Tour!
A few months ago, I had an opportunity to tour the kitchen behind Memphis’s favorite cupcake, cookie, and pie supplier: Muddy’s! Baker that I am, I was nerding out the WHOLE time, asking too many questions, snapping pictures like I was the Muddy’s paparazzi, and suggesting ways to improve a new frosting that’s in development….
Cinnamon Roll Cake
Recently, one of my friends told me about a cinnamon roll cake she had seen on the internet, and she raved about how it looked so good. She told me it made her think of me and my baking endeavors. I thought about it for awhile, and then of course, I had to do some…
Cinnamon Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Summer. The word means many things to many people. As a teacher, I think of sleeping in (rarely past 8, though), reading, and “unlimited” planning time for the school year to come. Side note: Guess who banged out 4 unit plans in 1.5 weeks?!?! #thiskid As a human, summer means getting a tan (or a…

Cookie Dough Chocolate Cake: 2 Ways!
I like to have options. I like to be picky and get what I feel like, not be constrained to one thing. If I was a kid who had to wear a uniform to school, it would have been a rough K-12 life. Says the girl who ALWAYS picks her clothes out for work the…
Dulce De Leche & Churro-Spiced Cheesecake
This cheesecake was born out of two desires: 1. To make a Mexican-inspired cheesecake to go along with a meal. 2. To use up a can of Dulce De Leche I bought unexpectedly. For more information, see below: Collin and I are part of a marriage group that meets once a week, and it’s always…
Double-Baked Molten Lava Cake
Some people jump out of airplanes to get their adrenaline rushes. Others run marathons. Me? I get my adrenaline from crazy recipes like this one. I tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart, but oh it is worth it. It all started when I was trying to plan a Valentine’s Day dinner for…
