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…

Snickers Cake
Can’t stop. Won’t stop. (That’s the tagline for this cake.) My Mom has a great chocolate cake recipe. It’s kind of infamous in our household and just known as The Chocolate Cake. But because I can never leave anything alone, I took her cake and transformed it into some insane Snickers-level beast. So we have…
