Egg Cake Pops

I was a little embarrassed to title this post "Easter Egg Cake Pops" since Easter is long gone, but I really wanted to share my latest cake pop creation...

So you've probably seen my cake pops before.

These are different... there's a little surprise inside! First I must say I was a little inspired by Amanda over at I Am Baker, since she is the master at putting surprises inside her cakes! My surprise was on a much smaller (and predictable!) scale.

Bake Club - Pie

I hosted our second Bake Club meeting and decided to go with something "basic" - good pie!

I know I am a bit biased, but my mom makes the BEST pies and pie crust! I found out that she got her pie crust recipe from my Great Aunt Mildred who was known for her pies.

April Fools Day Snack

Do you celebrate April Fools Day?

We used to play tricks on each other and on my parents when we were little. However, we were definitely NOT very creative! I remember one April Fools Day we decided to serve a lunch of hot dogs to my parents in the other room and sneakily left out the hot dog. Funny, huh? Not really.

Last year on April Fools Day, I served my boys blue milk with their breakfast cereal. They refused to eat breakfast that morning. So you can see the creative juices haven't grown since my younger days!

BUT... this year I came across a snack that would make a great April Fools snack without even trying. Completely accidental. Honest. That's why it might just work for you!

Salsa, anyone?

Snow Cones

When Minnesota continues to give you snow in March....

Make snow cones! (...or our version of snow cones - in a bowl!)

First Bake Club Meeting!

A few months ago my girlfriend and I decided to start a bake club.

A place where women who LOVE to bake could get together to try new recipes, perfect old recipes, and enjoy some good old-fashioned girl time.

Our first meeting was a SUCCESS!
