Experimenting with new recipes or trying a dish I haven’t tasted before is something I really enjoy doing. While I know there are many people who love peaches, I’m really not too fond of them. However, I do think peaches are quite good in baked dishes like pies and cobblers, so when I came across this recipe for a Puffy Read More »
Whether it’s a Starbuck Mocha Frappuccino or a McDonald’s Mocha Frappe, I am completely smitten with the coffee flavored chocolate frozen drinks available on the market. Well, now I have an ice cream that I can keep in my freezer and enjoy those same delicious flavors at home. This ice cream is at the top of my favorites list and Read More »
Today is my birthday. I made a cake to celebrate. It’s a very special cake you see. Not because of some secret ingredient or a particular filling, not because of a gourmet chocolate icing or pretty swirls. Today is not only my birthday, it’s my 45th birthday.

English Trifle. Tiramisu. Cassata Cake. They all have similar texture and flavors, and I frankly love them to bits.

They are easy enough for anyone and oh so cute, who could resist? Easter is coming, so you might want to add these to your list of Read More »
When bananas are turning brown on your counter, do you turn to a trust banana bread recipe to save the day? While I love a good banana bread, I am partial to cake. Or in this case, cupcakes. I’ve made this cake countless times and several different ways and it’s always good and always a hit. This time I made Read More »
I’m guessing that there’s a dessert table in Heaven and that it’s lined with all sorts of cheesecake. These creamy luscious treats are one of my all time favorite desserts and I have tried many different flavors, all of which I’ve loved.
