Roasted Beet & Feta Biscuits

Biscuits couldn’t get much easier than heavy cream and self-rising flour… So I complicated it by roasting a beet and making them pink. I’d like to thank my new BFF,  my AC window unit, making the the whole roasting and baking thing doable. So live your life in a world with pink biscuits and feta polka dots and cute breakfast. P.S. Thanks to King Arthur Flour for the flour and biscuit cutter! XOXO Roasted Beet & Feta…

Vanilla Party Cupcakes

Well, guys, these cupcakes are totally a party. And I might even have to say that they age well. While putting this post together I had to eat the one I saved for a special occasion. (Obvz.) I baked these Sunday and ate the last one on Wednesday (I shared a ton, don’t go judgin’!) and it was even better somehow! I think it’s because I used fairy dust and magic in the frosting. Those…

Funfetti Shortbread

I’m living in the past. Since my computer died I’ve been listening to c.d.s on my old boom box. The skipping that keeps happening because of my scratch-y car floor c.d.s doesn’t make me miss Spotify a bit… So while I’m getting jiggy with the past, I figured why not go the funfetti route. I mean, nothing screams childhood more than rainbow sprinkles, right? AND since it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s day, rainbows should…

Black & White Cookie Valentines

I made really delicious bread over the weekend, and the first slice was a major hottie! But, you guys there was a cave in there! A bread crevice that leads to a carb-version of Narnia, no doubt. That bread will be in your future and mine though again. Keep your little eyes peeled! These cookies aren’t bread. They are, instead, a black and white cookie remixed to be all LOVEly. I’m super into them. I…

Orange Poppy Seed Mini Muffins with Raspberry Pink Icing {revisited}

I hated summer camp. The first time I went it was the summer after 3rd grade. Picture it: scrawny redhead with long bangs and long hair, wearing a lot of neon… with a fanny pack on daily. And well, my fanny pack held my retainer-holders for when I had to take them out or whatever. I mean, once I left it at the baseball diamond and I might’ve ran as fast as I could to…

Cross-stitch Cookies {DIY}

Awhile back, my girl Jessica and I collaborated to bring food and craftiness together! We needed a cookie that would keep it’s shape while baking, so I opted for these graham guys. I tripled the recipe and used a small square cutter since I’m the worst at straight lines. Jessica piped all the X’s while I pranced around and chit-chatted with her. It was the most fun! I can’t wait to do something like this…

Almond Mini Donuts + Cherry Glaze

Because when I was seven I picked pink earrings over my birth stone. Because pink foods are always a party. Because cherries are the sole reason these are pink. Because when things are mini you can eat fifteen. Because I love you. These guys are almond-y where the donuts are concerned and tartly cherry where the pink glaze is concerned. But don’t be concerned, these will make your heart smile. Disclaimer: I blame the fact that…

Lemon Crinkle Cookies + Blackberry Icing

The pink swirls remind me of cursive “l”s, ruffles, and Elvis bangs. The truth is, at first, I put zig zags on top of these cookies and it wasn’t as lovely. I made these at night. That’s why there isn’t a photo of the dough being sampled and the powdered sugar being powdery. I did take this photo of the icing being all artsy-like on a beater, though. And did you know that this frosting is…

Electric Pink Vanilla Cupcakes + Swiss Meringue Buttercream

These cupcakes are a party. They are a little bit out of control and a lot pink. They taste like a birthday miracle. I made these for a lovely lady I work with. You see, she loves the color pink, gummy bears and candy of all sorts. I figured I’d do it up. These are super girly, but I have proof that boys can appreciate these too. Their tastiness outweighs their girliness, I guess. By…

Vanilla Bean Mini Donuts

Yesterday, I baked some mini donuts. They turned out teeny, pink, vanilla bean-freckled and chocolate squiggly. They are as tasty as they are cute. I just want to make every sort of baked donut that exists now. I want to top cupcakes and cakes with them. I want to wear one as a pinky ring. I want to put them in my pocket. I want give them hugs. I want to dunk them in tiny…
