My now favorite White Cake recipeI have always wanted to find an awesome recipe for white cake. White cake with white buttercream is my favorite kind of cake. I have tried sooo many white cake recipes. So many. And I've experienced many disappointing results. Although the base of this recipe is a cake mix, it's definitely the closest I've come to my idea of a perfect… |

Soft Sugar Cookies with Vanilla IcingI have posted this sugar cookie recipe before but I just love it so much that I want to share it again. If you like thick, soft, cakey sugar cookies then you will love this recipe! The cookies are delicious on their own but with the icing they are absolutely excellent. I make these a couple of times a month and I always flavor my… |

Deep Chocolate Pound CakeDeep Chocolate Pound CakeI've never made a chocolate pound cake before. I've made many a regular vanilla pound cakes, but never chocolate. I'm not sure why I decided to make one today but it's one of the first recipes I looked at and I had all the ingredients, so I just went with it. This recipe is from my "Chocolate Chocolate" book… |

Crisp Sugar Cookies & decorating sugar cookiesBefore you go getting excited about finding a delicious new crispy sugar cookie recipe, I must tell you that these were not good. In other words, they suck. I thought they looked pretty with their bright purple sparkling sugar (what a waste of good Dean & Deluca sugar) so I took photos but I will not recommend that you make these.… |

Dark Chocolate Layer Cake with White IcingThe icing that I used on this dark chocolate cake was delicious. I never thought I'd like an icing that has so much shortening in it. It calls for a full 2 cups shortening but I used 1 cup butter & 1 cup shortening. I just love the taste of butter too much to not use any. The heavy whipping cream that I used in it made it so… |

Slutty BrowniesI guess I'm a little late in the game with these brownies. Why had I not heard of them till last week when people have been baking, eating & posting them for months? I knew I had to make them when I finally did read about them. The recipe below is not the EXACT recipe I used but I had looked at so many blogs that had these brownies… |

Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Snack Cake With Fudge IcingChocolate on chocolate! Can't beat that combo! This recipe is so light and fluffy and chocolately and just plain delicious. The icing spreads on so easily at first but then settles into a nice dense semi soft fudge like topping. I've tried this cake recipe with cake flour & also all-purpose flour and I prefer the all purpose. The cake… |

Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaves with Lemon IcingThis is a fantastic recipe! Absolutely fantastic and wonderful for the holidays. It's really easy to put together - just mix everything in one bowl. Last year I found a recipe for pumpkin gingerbread online and kind of tweaked it to fit my taste. This is the result and it's lovely. The cake is not light & fluffy but not too dense… |

Cold Oven PoundcakeI'm so excited about this poundcake! I'm really really thrilled! Look closely....it has a DOME on it! It rose! Hooray! (I get excited about the smallest of things). This cake is a combination of a few different recipes but I think the main difference is that I used the "cold oven" method of baking. I placed the cake batter into a cold… |
