To tell you the truth, I’m not into peanut butter that much. A peanut butter sandwich hits the spot when I’m really starving and I need to get something quick. Reese’s piece is good once in a while too. But like I said, I’m not that fond of it.

I’ve always loved the now-classic 4th of July berry cake. I made one years ago for a get-together and have wanted to try again, but I’m afraid it would go bad before my family had a …read more

I have a confession to make! I love sprinkles! Whenever I see new sprinkles at my favorite cake decorating suppliers I want to buy them. Crazy huh? I do have to say I put the sprinkles to good use. I’m always making cupcakes for one event or another, so in my defense I use a ton of sprinkles.
The crazy part is, I get excited when I find new sprinkles, and I have to have them for my collection. This morning I gathered some of my sprinkles up and took a picture. Now this isn’t all of them, I didn’t want …read more
