Celebration Fudge Cake
A few weeks ago I took a little time away to my happy place. We fished, hung out and celebrated the 4th with some sweet friends and family. The fishing was the reason we were there but one of the major highlights was this cake. From the minute my godmother mentioned she “might” make it I stalked her until it was made…and it was so worth the wait (she made me wait 48 hours). A little confession… This is not the original cake my Godmother made. That cake was consumed at our 4th of July party before i could get pictures, so I HAD to remake it once I got…

It starts with the Crust… For me a good…

Pumpkin & Espresso have never been so good
OK I know Thanksgiving is just a few days away, but I have one more pumpkin recipe that is a MUST MAKE. This bundt cake will be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving week. Pumpkin, please I love pumpkin anything and everything, and I can eat pumpkin anytime, especially this bundt cake. The pumpkin makes the bundt cake super moist without making it heavy and then with the addition of the pumpkin pie spice gives it just the right amount of warmth in each bite. If you didn’t want to use the pumpkin pie spice you could use just cinnamon, making it a little more year round friendly. Yes you read…

Flan & Cake…really? Ok, I know what some of you are thinking…flan and cake together? YES…flan and cake together is a perfect treat. There is something so decadent about a rich chocolate base topped with a creamy flan and a little caramel flowing over the top. Oh yeah…it is also really pretty. Espresso….yes please. Now if you follow me much at all you know I love espresso with chocolate. In almost all my brownies, chocolate cakes and cupcakes…

a little late to the carrot cake table…
I asked some of my family a few weeks ago what they wanted for Easter desserts and surprising to me a couple of them mentioned carrot cake. Now this may not be so surprising to many of you, but to me it was as I don’t ever remember this cake EVER being on our Easter buffet…EVER!! It is so much more than just a cupcake And just to make things more fun, I have never even had a bite of carrot cake, so from the start this was going to be a super fun dessert to take on. OK, now I know it is crazy that I am in…

a flourless cake like no other…
Spring is coming and it is time to start thinking about fun desserts and this Flourless Chocolate Cake is a must make!! No Flour Needed I have always been a big fan of flourless chocolate cakes, anytime it is on a menu I will order it (unless there is something caramel) but I have never made one at home. With Spring coming it is the perfect time to make this super decadent treat. Now I know there are more traditional desserts for Spring like carrot cake, cupcakes, or maybe a fruit option, but for me it is all about chocolate (with a little kick). Amping it up a bit One of my favorite additions…

a bundt cake to remember
Valentines is one of those Holidays that not only celebrates the love of your life but it also celebrates dessert. Most typically chocolate desserts are on the menu, but for The Hubby chocolate is not what his heart desires. He loves caramel anything so I thought to bring two favorites together. Caramel & Cake. Can it get any better? Caramel & Bundt = Perfection This year I decided to make a bundt cake. I just love a rich & buttery bundt cake and when paired with caramel it becomes AMAZING!! I also love how pretty this bundt cake is. Without any topping at all the cake is already pretty, especially when you use…
