Have you ever done something so bad, so wrong that you felt sinful? Like doing something that’s really, really unnecessary and you immediately fill up with regret.

Have you ever made chocolate chip cookies that didn’t turn out the way you had hoped? Maybe they were too dry and cakey or flat as a pancake. Or, maybe they tasted too much like baking soda or were burning at the bottoms and uncooked in the middle. It is really annoying to waste [...]

Morning muffins are a great eat and go breakfast that are delicious and filling. They bake up in a snap and are amazingly versatile.

This week I was hired to do a post for Minute Rice. Since this is not a savory blog, I knew right away that I would make my Grandmother's Coconut Rice Pudding. I can remember eating this putting as a toddler all the way up to my teens. It was always a family favorite on Holidays and special occasions. No one made it as great as my Grandmother did. Grandma could make even a

This weekend I am hosting a Jewelry party for a friend and wanted to bake some homemade cookies for my guests.

Shortbread is a slice and bake classic Scottish cookie that consists of

French Apple Tarts are a classic and elegant dessert that mimics a classic Apple Pie, but without the heaping helping of Apple Goo. Goo is good. But not in Tarts. Tarts are more about tender crust and a thin layer of fruity filling that is packed with flavor in each bite. This recipe has a sweetened scratch made crust, but don't let that scare you. Scratch is not Sca

This Valentines Day I am bringing in treats to my son's fourth grade class. One of the students has an egg allergy so I knew cupcakes and most cookies (kids would recognize) were not an option. There was only one dessert that was hand held and kid friendly that instantly came to mind... Rice Krispy Treats. But, let's face it, they are a little lack luster in appearance. &n

Today we had our first snow of the season and School was cancelled. My kids were so excited, that they were out frolicking in the snow by 9:00 am. Since I had some free time, I decided to do what I do best... make a yummy dessert! I instantly thought of chocolate Mousse since I already had heavy whipping cream on hand. To me, mousse is a sophisticated Adult d

Throwing a New Year's party is the perfect way to celebrate your blessings of a year well lived and the excitement of what the coming year will bring. It's a time to surround yourself with all the things and people you love. In my world that is my friends, family and good food and drinks.

And so it has arrived. The baking is finished, the kitchen is clean and all the kiddies are restless and giddy. Soon it will be Christmas Eve and the magic of the Season will present itself in ways that still amaze us all. Here's hoping you stuff those stockings and deliver presents under the tree without getting caught and down some serious mimosa's and cookies (

This year ended in tragedy for some and it's life as usual for others. One thing that remains the same for everyone is how precious life is and how every blessing you have in your life can be taken away from you in a split second. Unfairly, unexpectedly and for no good reason. This is Christmas time. It's a time for giving, loving, faith and sharing. It's
Christmas just isn't Christmas in my house without platters of cookies. Mounds and mounds of brightly decorated Sugar Cookies, spicy and fragrant Gingerbread Men, Italian Sprinkle Balls, Reindeer Peanut Butter Cookies, Raspberry and Almond Linzer and last but not least, nutty Snowball Cookies. This cookie is a family favorite and we traditionally bake batches and batche
With the Holiday Season in full swing, you may be finding yourself behind with your to do list. I know around this time of year I can be pretty last minute with gift buying and party planning. Making plans to get together with friends or hosting a party seems to be next to impossible. But with inspiration and a picture in mind, you would be surprised how much you can pull o
A Man's best friend has a lot to live up to. He has to be loyal, loving, affectionate and always there by your side. That being said, your dog deserves to be spoiled with gifts and treats this Holiday Season to thank him for a job well done. My family dog, Ollie is spoiled rotten. He has more sweaters than I do, tons of toys, blankets and a lots of bling on his s
There is so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The health of my family and friends is the most important but this post is about all of you. I can't begin to tell you, how thankful I am that you have decided to subscribe to my little blog and stay awhile. Without your support I would not be where I am today with Buttercream Bakehouse and I truly appreciate it. I am b

Today's cupcakes are popular for any event and can be decorated to be fun, elegant, sophisticated and displayed on cupcake tree's, tiered cake stands and more. No matter how you plan to serve your cupcakes, the one thing you must always ensure when serving them is that they
