A very happy Halloween! And in the spirit of carving jack-o-lanterns, I give you a recipe that uses the cut out pumpkin pieces. I’ve had this recipe since I was in kindergarten- my teacher Mrs. Blach gave it out to us, and almost every year since we’ve made them. Enjoy. … Yes, that’s the original […]

Slimer’s fright night gorey-eyeballs cupcakes.
Ah, Halloween. Best night of the year in my humble opinion. Then again, anytime you can leave your house in New York, see 5 zombies, 4 vampires, 7 witches and a bunch of ghosts, tell your friends about it (while you’re dressed as, say, a prostitute) and not be committed to a mental hospital or […]

Daring Baker’s Challenge: Pizza & toppings!
Now this Daring Baker’s Challenge was one I was super psyched to do: PIZZA! I’ve posted before that I love pizza, and love making homemade pizza, as well as the fact that I’ve done it many times before… so for me this was a snap. An incredibly enjoyable snap, but a snap. Pre-baking, regular (left) […]

Happy birthday choo-choo chocolate cupcakes.
My dad’s birthday is this week, so among the 5 billion other baked goods and snacks I made or am going to make this week for Halloween, I made him some birthday cupcakes. As I was going through my Bible (not that bible, my bible, aka “the book”) looking for a recipe, I realized that […]

Mr. Bones, Mr. Bones, how do you feel Mr. Bones?
This is the coolest recipe/idea ever. Or at least one of them. Bones made of marshmallow- genius! Shaped like smaller humerus bones (aks “funny bones”), actually, or dog bones. A perfect addition to hot chocolate, or even for decorating a cake, or cupcakes. Or just for Halloween snacking. They’re super duper easy, fun to make […]

Halloweenie “malevolent muffins.”
Sorta. Okay, really they’re just muffins in Halloween liners and topped with some vintage toppers. They’re not malevolent at all. I have about 500 Halloween cupcake liners and 3 overripe bananas, so I figured might as well use ’em. Recipe can be found here. Stay tuned this week for 2, count ’em 2 batches of […]
I have a confession to make. I love brownies. Lots. And… and here’s the confession part… I love them more than cupcakes. *hangs head in shame* I know, I know. But they’re so amazing. I could eat an entire pan myself. A good brownie is like the closest thing to a heaven that there is, […]

Baked apples with sweet ricotta.
I don’t like cold weather. I love the fall, but I do not like what comes after. Fall weather is the best, and fall fashion is always the best. However the winter… the winter makes me nuts. I hate snow, I hate dry skin, and I hate when its so cold out your ears get […]

Moo cards & eyeballs, & schnitzel with noodles.
Okay maybe not schnitzel with noodles. I’m thinking of that song Julie Andrews sang in ‘The Sound of Music.’ But definitely Moo Cards and eyeballs. Today I got two packages in the mail. One from the wonderful Lyns (Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Bakery & Cupcakery Supplies) and one from Foodbuzz. I was anticipating getting Lyn’s package, […]

Jessie Steele (inspired) pumpkin cupcakes!
Part 2: See this post (part 1) for explanation. Too lazy to go back and read that? Have ADD? Need a quick explanation? *sigh* Okay: So for Halloween this year (my favorite holiday in case you live under a rock and didn’t know), the wonderful Jay bought me a little present: the Jessie Steele pumpkin […]
