Caramel Cream Cheese Frosted Apple Cake If you tried my Carrot Cake recipe and liked it then you are going to love my Caramel Cream Cheese Frosted Apple Cake recipe. For several days, I have been looking at the bowl of apples on the counter and thinking I need to make something with those apples. My mind wandered to my delicious Carrot Cake and I got the great idea to change the recipe up a little. I substituted apples for the...

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that one of my best friends from High School, Angie aka Ange is a Valentine baby. Since a few lucky people had Valentine’s Day plans, I decided to make my Decadent Chocolate Cherry Cake for Angie on Valentine’s Day Eve which this year happened to also be Friday the 13th. Since she is a Valentine baby, I wanted to make something different from just a chocolate...

Who doesn’t love chocolate? I know I love it! When I was pregnant with my daughter, way back in 1992, I practically lived off chocolate. Her father is a pilot and every time he flew to a different country, he would always bring me chocolate back. Unfortunately, I no longer have my own chocolate stash flown in to me from around the world. Now days when I want chocolate, it is a Reese’s Cup or I have to make...

You may remember him from the German Chocolate Post. I made this cake for him for his birthday and he loved it. I have been at the hospital with him everyday so that is why I have not posted anything new....

Of all the cakes I have ever made, Carrot Cake has always been my favorite. It is easy to make, healthy (it’s full of carrots right?) and the results are always the same. It is my nephew, Billy’s favorite and I used to make it for him for his birthday. Since he was not living near me the past couple of years, I stopped making it because it made me miss him. Well, I got great news . ....

I almost forgot the birthday cupcakes. Vanilla Honey Cupcakes are a quick alternative to baking an elaborate birthday cake. The icing was delicious to me but I think I over cooked them just a tad – they were a little dry to me. So start checking them at about 15 minutes. I could have eaten the icing all by itself. It was really good! Vanilla Honey Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing Save Print Vanilla Honey Cupcakes...

My great-nephew wanted me to make a cake for his grandmother. He said she liked Almond Vanilla cake with Fudge icing. I Googled it and saw several recipes for gluten free almond cakes but nothing that looked like what she would be wanting, so I made up my own recipe. The recipe makes three layers but since we had more people at my house, I iced one layer for her and two for us. So if you...

Literally . . . the whole shebang! Well, the recipe I have for you today is healthy as well as delicious. Since...
