Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

It took a bit longer to post these cookies up cause I didn't have my computer.  But they were a smashing hit with my co-workers!

Recipe Below...

Pumpkin Mash-up

I had a friend send me this picture knowing that I would totally laugh,  and I did!!  I'm a really big fan of the very popular TV series Game of Thrones,  and have a huge love for pumpkin things so this mash-up was perfect for me. 

I hope everyones beginning there fall baking and let those smells of fall fill the kitchens!

I'm going to be making some pumpkin cookies tonight so stay tuned.

It's that time...

You know what a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte means...  It's unofficially fall!  It's back and proudly celebrating its 10 year anniversary. So head on down to your nearest Starbucks and get one...  And while you're there,  try one of the scones, loaf slices, or cream cheese pumpkin muffin.

In case you didn't know you can get the Pumpkin Spice Latte as a FRAPPICINO! Thats right, you read that correctly I said a frappicino. It tastes like a liquid form of a cold slice of pumpkin pie. Delicious!  It's not on the menu, but you just have to ask.

Enjoy!

Seriously the BEST pumpkin pancakes!

These pumpkin pancakes are truly the BEST ever! Did I say they were the BEST... Seriously they are.  If you haven't ever had pumpkin pancakes, you need to try this recipe.

Baked Pumpkin Donuts

That's right! Baked Pumpkin Donuts!! These sweet things don't even come near a deep fryer.  So your going to need to get a doughnut pan, and if you don't have one you can make them into cupcakes.

Your going to need to be prepared to make these doughnuts a lot! Once you bring these into the office you'll be getting non-stop requests.

This recipe is from www.kingarthurflour.com.

Pumpkin Time!

It's now September...  Which means its time to start making Pumpkin treats !!!

Lots more posts later today

Hey everyone,  I'll be making a bunch more posts later today.  I've been making more things then I have time to post them.  Haha.  And with September right around the corner,  there will be lots of PUMPKIN things. (I love pumpkin)

Princess Cupcakes

Had a request for some Princess Cupcakes that were egg free, and icing sugar free. This was a really good challenge because it really had me thinking outside of the box. My first reaction was the frosting... I didn't think you could make frosting without it!! Crazy, but as it turns out you totally can!  I've included all the links for both the frosting and cupcakes below.

Hamburger Cupcakes

These so far have to be the most fun cupcakes I've made so far.  You will get everyone looking twice when they realize there cupcakes!

If you are in a hurry to make these you can totally use some box mixes for brownies and cupcakes.  The French fries are made with a pound cake loaf, but you can buy one from your local grocery store in the bakery department.

Easter Cupcakes

Easter is such a wonderful holiday for beautiful pastel colors. I was out shopping and saw a rack of shirts that were literally every color that sums up Easter and decided that I must make cupcakes with them.

The cupcakes are your regular yellow mix, and then I made some Butter Cream Frosting that was tinted pastel colors - purple, pink, yellow, and green.  Michael's Craft store sold these really neat cupcake liners that fold together to form a Easter basket.

St. Patrick Day Cupcakes

March 18, 2013

Happy St. Patrick Day!!

These cupcakes were a lot of fun to make. I got to try out my new Batter Babies, they fit into your cupcake tin and allow you to put two different colors into the same cupcake. They actually came out really nicely and I was surprised how the two colors didn't run into each other.  I then made a Baileys Irish Cream Frosting, and it was so light and fluffy and was also probably the most "fun" I've had making cupcake frosting before ;)

Coming Up - St. Patty's Day

My next project i'm working on is going to be St. Patrick Day cupcakes with Baileys Irish Cream Frosting.  Sounds good right? Well to top that off I'm going to try making them green and white too. I'll post it all up probably tomorrow.

Reese Puffs & Cinnamon Toast Crunch Muffin Mix

Mar. 4, 2013

That's right... You'r eyes are not deceiving you... REESE PUFFS & CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH muffin mix.

The local Wal-Mart started carrying these and I had to do a double take when I saw these. I just couldn't believe it!  They were located in the baking aisle with the other cake/cookie mixes.  The Cinnamon Toast Crunch ones were a bit "meh..." for me. They tasted mostly like brown sugar, and didn't really have any flavor to them.  The Reese Puff muffins were way better, and I would recommend getting this one to try at least once.

Pink Shirt Day! (Anti Bullying)

Feb 27, 2013

Thankfully I have never been bullied in my life, but I have friends that have been bullied for years. So to help bring awareness to the issue of bullying, I decided to make some PINK cupcakes for work.  These cupcakes came out really nicely.  I used "Electric Pink" food gel coloring, and WOW! while making them it looked like I had bubble gum :P
