Cappuccino Cupcakes

Cappuccino Cupcakes cooling. The recipe said to use ramekins. Next time I will make them into a layer cake or use regular cupcake tins. These are a little sticky to not have a paper liner. Not to mention, they bubbled all over the ramekins and onto the sheet pan. This wasn't to big a problem, as I just ate up all the yummy cupcake bits.

The coffee creme. So yummy!

The finished product. Oh my, these are awesome!! If you like coffee flavor, these will knock your socks off! I found the recipe in my Kitchenaid Best Loved Recipes cookbook. I can't wait to make these again. I will, however, change up a few things. You'll just have to wait and see.

Who doesn't like to lick the bowl?

Who doesn't like to lick the bowl or the beaters? Anyone? Yeah, I didn't think so.

My kids love when I bake because they get the bowls and beaters. As you can see, they really get every last chocolaty goodness. Of course, sometimes they have to fight mommy for the bowl. ;-)

Chocolate Cake

This is my very first totally homemade cake. I have always used a box mix, but I really wanted to see if I could make a yummy cake from scratch. Turns out... I can! This chocolaty delight, was better then any box cake. I also made chocolate cream cheese frosting to go on top. This cake was for my husband, Jason's, birthday. He really liked it, I don't think he will ever let me buy a cake again. LOL

Flan...NOT Flop.

Woooohoooo!! I figured out how to make flan! It was delicious! And, as you can see, I got it to come out of the pan with out any problems.

Butterscotch Bars

I can't remember the last time I made cookie bars. I made these because I needed something fast and easy to take to work. These were super easy. I got the recipe off the bag of butterscotch chips and they were a big hit. So easy and so yummy, I can't wait to make them again.

Another Cookie Swap

My dear friend, Debbie, hosted her annual cookie swap this past weekend. It was a blast. She is a wonderful hostess, and always goes above and beyond. Really, she does...to prove it...those are her snowflake cookies on the white platter. So much detail, and yummy too! It was great seeing everyone, and all the cookies were delicious.

Almost as good as Thin Mints

Pudding cookies. You know I love them. Here is my latest take on my favorite cookie. This version uses chocolate fudge pudding mix and dark chocolate and mint chips. I also used crisco instead of butter. If you love Thin Mints, you'll love these cookies.
