If I was given the choice to choose between a chocolate cupcake and this vanilla cupcake, I would choose these vanilla bean cupcakes every dang time. Considering I’m the girl who is addicted to chocolate, that says a lot!
This cupcake is like biting into a vanilla frosted cloud. It’s so moist, light, and flavorful. These are made with both vanilla extract and a vanilla bean so they have twice the amount of flavor compared to other vanilla cupcakes.
Happy National Eat a Peach Day! What better way to eat a peach than in a peach pie?! Plus it’s a healthy way to get your fruits for the day…. am I right?
Peach pie is the epitome of summer desserts. This is a classic, no frills peach pie with just peaches, sugar, flour, and a whole lotta butter.
I used to be terrified of making pies because I thought pie crust was way too difficult to make and I thought I needed some fancy tools to make it look nice. Boy, was I wrong! This pie crust is SO EASY and you can use your hands to make it.
Hey y’all! This Wednesday I bring to you a funfetti confetti cookie cake! Oh my goodness. This dessert makes any celebration 1000 times better. Birthdays are not complete without it, heck, no celebration is complete without it. I decided to make this cookie cake to celebrate the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale!
For anyone who doesn’t know me, I am obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer. They have the cutest printed dresses and clothing that are filled with bright colors. This is a major event since there are only two sales a year. What better way to celebrate than with a soft, chewy, colorful funfetti cookie cake? This cake is loaded with rainbow sprinkles, white chocolate chips, and a buttercream icing that is to die for.
Happy Sunday friends!! This weekend has been super relaxing. Last night, Joe and I celebrated Pittsburgh Restaurant Week at the Grand Concourse in Station Square and it was amazing! We had a perfect view of the city and ate delicious food. Pretty sure I’m still in a food coma from the raspberry fudge cake we ate for dessert. I need to learn how to make something similar to that ASAP!
After dinner, we drove up to Mount Washington to see the view of Pittsburgh at night since I have only ever been there during the day. It was stunning! Definitely a must see in Pittsburgh if you’re ever in the area.
Today, I slept in and decided to make these M&M chocolate chip cookies when I woke up. I made them a couple weeks ago and have been craving them everyday since then! Fun fact: my favorite candy is plain M&M’s! So M&M’s mixed with my favorite dessert (chocolate chip cookies) is basically a match made in heaven!
Happy belated national s’mores day friends! Maybe we should just call it s’mores week because I’ve been eating this dessert everyday (#noshame). Growing up s’mores were always a rare treat for me since I lived in the city. My friends and I would always make them with marshmallows roasted over the gas stove! S’mores are one of those desserts that basically define summer. So obviously I had to make a twist on this classic treat, and all I have to say is YUM.
