Jelly recently celebrated his 9th birthday.
This past year was full of grand accomplishments. Some of his most notable ones…
He’s been a busy feline.
I had a hard baking act to follow after last year’s Birthday Cake For Cats post. It is actually the #1 [...]
This year I received a new kind of box of chocolates for Valentine’s. Instead of chocolate truffles and bon-bons, I asked for (three months in advance) a box of cake balls. They look like large truffles on the outside, but inside, they are filled with cake crumbs mixed with frosting.

I am feeling the love just a week before Valentine’s day via baked goods. In years past, I could be found eating bon-bon after bon-bon for the month of February – but with a nut allergy now, I have to steer clear of my beloved Whitman’s sampler.

There are few things I enjoy more on vacation than eating fancy desserts in the middle of the day. Many cities have a variety of bakeries and cupcake shops to enjoy, and I can’t rely on visiting them all after dinner. So, we stopped into Extraordinary Desserts after lunch this weekend.

We coveted those cans in our house, and were sure to save a can or two for leftover turkey sandwiches the next day. Eventually my taste buds warmed [...]
Everyone says you should eat more fruits and vegetables. Follow that advice, and try this recipe for chocolate zucchini cakes! The vitamins and nutritional goodness is baked right into your dessert.
Fresh North Carolina peaches baked into a soft pound cake, topped with candied basil. Sounds like a showstopper, right?
This dessert was every bit as good as it sounded. I would like to thank Shelby from Eat, Drink, and Run for sending this pound cake my way as part of the [...]
Do you remember these pocket-sized cakes of youth?
Little Debbie’s Zebra Cakes… Each box is packed with twin-wrapped zebra-striped cakes, but sharing is optional. I was always fond of these in particular as a kid, above Ding Dongs, Hostess cupcakes, Twinkies, and the like. I can even confess on this blog, and [...]
While some people could take or leave a scone from the bakery, I don’t think anyone could pass up Carrot Cake Scones! This is a bright, tasty recipe to try on a Sunday morning.
Just imagine one of these soft, cakey scones sitting on your kitchen counter. Serve it warmed slightly, beside yogurt [...]
