Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Icing

Eat 5 cinnamon rolls, drink 4 cups of coffee, take 3 naps, buy 2 more pairs of coated leggings for Beyonce-style napping/living, and have 1 sweater that you wear every single day. And now we just have 5 weekdays, 4 new pink vintage glasses, 3 runs, 2 concerts, and one burrito a day. Because you see it just takes 1 night (for the dough to rise), 1 morning (to casually roll these out), 1 person (who’s…

Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Frosted Brownie Bites

Ok guys, let’s listen to this song and live our lives! I hope you all have had the best Valentine’s Day! Mine’s been weird-ish this year, but don’t worry, to me Sunday is the big day. I bought a new coral dress and will wear heart tights and plan on making a million mini foods and over-serving mimosas to my favorites. In the meantime, I totally made these twice last weekend. Once for my friend’s…

Cider and Donut Cupcakes

It’s just one of those weeks. The kind where I bought 2 bottles of shampoo, thinking I had a conditioner. And my alarm was set for early o’clock more often than not. But it’s all good now because we have cider and donut cupcakes! And tomorrow is Jake’s birthday so we are going to eat good food and go on adventures all weekend. And fall is the best time for birthdays. Because then you can…

Classic Chocolate Layer Cake

Sometimes I need a nap in the afternoon. Sometimes I need to confide in my favorite ladies. Sometimes I need a beer before dinner. Sometimes I need to sing along to Lady Gaga. Sometimes I need another coffee. Sometimes I need to bring Elliot with me to get ice cream. Sometimes I need to sit in the sun and get freckles. Sometimes I need to watch true crime shows in front of a fan. This week I…

Vanilla Bean Berry Cake

On Sunday, I woke up early to drive this cake to my favorite lady’s house for dessert. I went to church with tights that matched those raspberries. I turned off the tea water and ate chop suey. We passed the carrots, buttered french bread, and talked about summer, root beer floats, and bluebirds. And then took seconds. While still full, I sliced this cake and placed it on my Aunt Wanetta’s pretty blue and white plates, that…

Funfetti Cupcakes + Pink Marshmallow Frosting

Jake’s birthday was Friday! These guys, made Saturday, were fashionably late. Wouldn’t you agree that the combo of funfetti with pink frosting just screams birthday? Basically these are a birthday party for your mouth. (In a fun way, not a creepy way.) Rainbow sprinkles are the prettiest. And somehow they get even prettier baked in white cake! This cake is white because there aren’t any egg yolks in it to turn it into yellow cake.…

Honey Graham Pound Cakes with Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting

Last year my Thanksgiving contribution was to drive a smooshed pumpkin roll six hours to my sister’s house. Not this year though. Because this time tomorrow I’ll be in Minnesota hanging out with my parents. My mom and I will be going over the Thanksgiving dinner menu and Wednesday will consist of cooking and prepping. I decided to channel my excitement for Thursday by making these delicious s’more’eque pound cakes. S’mores are on my mind…
