My first pound cake was from the freezer aisle. Seriously. Yay for Sara Lee. However, I quickly was barred from having frozen prepared foods from my preservatives-conscious mother, and since she didn’t bake, I was not to have pound cake until years later when I attempted to bake them at home.

I’m guessing that I’m not the only one with left-over pumpkin from Thanksgiving. At least I hope so. This pumpkin bread is Ah-mazing. As in, please go buy a can of pumpkin right now. Yes, even in 40 degree weather. Go, go! I think my bear said it best, “No, I want that other cake. [...]

For some odd reason every year I can never pin down the exact date of Thanksgiving. Is it the third week? Last week? Thursday, Friday? Rats. Then I figured out an easier way. Thanksgiving is getting close when the molasses and pumpkin start getting sold out at the grocery store. Will I be making a [...]

Cupcakes are funny things. While it’s super easy to make a so-so homemade cake, a stellar, moist, non-eggy cake with a perfect crumb? Not so much. This stuff is some crazy tasty- light, fluffy, and just sweet enough. Plus, it gives you a slightly good excuse to bust out the old piping bag and pretend [...]
