Sweet and refreshing just like the blended island cocktail, these Piña Colada Cupcakes are incredibly moist and balanced that you’ll almost forget that you’re eating a cupcake and not sipping on a drink. Every once in a while, I make something that actually surprises me. As someone who isn’t a big fan of hot weather …
Ripe peaches are pretty irresistible–juicy, sweet–they’re the perfect summer fruit. These Peach Bars take those ripe peaches, blend the flesh into a puree, and pair the sweet, fruity notes of a silky peach custard with a nutty walnut shortbread base that is incredibly tender and slightly crunchy thanks to pieces of toasted walnut folded throughout. …
Banana pudding is one of those things that is simply irresistible. Nilla wafers are topped with a banana cream and slices of bananas to create a dessert that is absolutely addicting.

I’ve had the tendency these past few weeks to throw some of my favorite fall and winter flavors into some early spring bakes. I’m going to change that up this week though as this cake is all about fresh flavors and spring. This Almond, Raspberry, and Lemon cake is a dream come true. The cake …
If there is one thing that every baker should have a recipe for, it’s a good muffin. Something light and fresh that’s packed with flavor and texture. For me, these Carrot and Apple Muffins fit the bill. They’re perfect for a spring morning or a fall afternoon. The moistness from the carrot and the apple …
This cake was a labor of love. Do you ever have something that you firmly believe will be amazing, but every attempt you make at is just isn’t quite right? For me, that was this Orange Pistachio Cake. I made this cake last year for my birthday because I couldn’t get the thought of orange, …
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts (Donuts).
