I love baking all sorts of treats!

Linzer cookies are one of my specialties. These were filled with raspberry jam and they were amazing! My dad couldn't stop eating them, as you can see there weren't many left by the time I found my camera. hehehe

My grandpa's favorite dessert is apple pie, so when I started to learn to bake I had to ace the apple pie. Every time he comes NY I bake him a Golden Apple Pie with sweet apples and a touch of cinnamon. He sits in the kitchen watching the oven and the clock, I don't need a timer when hes around. hehehe My dad also loves my apple pie but with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The men in my life don't joke when it comes to sweet treats.

An old fashioned, tender shortcake with two layers of strawberries topped with whipped cream.

Need I say more? :-)

Merry Christmas!

I love the holidays and wanted to make something extra special. The only thing that made sense was to make Red Velvet cupcakes with a hidden holiday Oreo inside topped off with Butter Cream and a fondant mitten. Mm mm mmm....these were to die for. I also made peanut butter cupcakes with a mini Reese's in the middle topped off with chocolate frosting. I loved seeing the kids eyes open when they bit into the cupcake and found a hidden treat inside :-)

Surprise 30th!!

This was one of my favorite projects. The cake and some of the cupcakes were a moist Red Velvet cake with Butter Cream filling/frosting. The other half of the cupcakes were cookies and cream with chocolate frosting. Oh and of course I had to put an Oreo cookie inside each cupcake. I just love hiding treats inside and watching people's eyes open when they bite into the middle and find a pleasant surprise :-)
