Monkey Bread

Did you have monkey bread as a child? My mom used to make it all the time when we were younger because it was one of my little brothers favorites. I stumbled upon Pioneer Womans recipe a few years back and it's very similar to my moms but she cooks the butter and brown sugar on the stove until it turns into a Carmel, then drizzles it on top. Doing just that one little thing seriously sends this monkey bread into a whole different category of DELISH!

Pumpkin cucpake with Cinnamon Vanilla Cream Cheese frosting!

I LOVE this time of year. I LOVE anything pumpkin. So my first batch of pumpkin something this year had to be these that I've been drooling over since finding the recipe last year. And they taste as good as they sound!!

Happy Birth Day Stella Rae!

I didn't make this cake... I had all intensions of baking an adorable little cake for all of us at the hospital to share on the day Stella came into this world. Instead I was too tired, and nervous and had a whole birthday cake of my own that I wasn't sure who was going to eat. So my wonderful Mother in-law picked this up for us on the way to meet her newest granddaughter.

Happy Birthday to me! :)

I turned 34 this year... two days before giving birth to our new baby girl.

Have I really not posted here since MAY!?

Geesh! I had no idea it'd been so long! It was a crazy summer without a lot of baking...being pregnant and the weather being over 100* just doesn't really get you in the mood for baking a cake! But I have done a few things here and there and I'll share them with you now! :)

It's a jungle out there baby!

I really like how this jungle themed 1st Birthday turned out. These little cupcake liners and picks are soo adorable! And the little monkey cake for the birthday boy to dive into... so adorable!!

A Groovy Tie-Dye Party!

My little cupcake turned four over the weekend and her party was a tie-dye theme! It was sooo much fun, and the cupcakes and cake were a lot of fun to make for her too! I did plain chocolate cupcake with tie-dye swirled buttercream frosting and sprinkles. Then for the cake I made a tie-dye cake, with vanilla cream filling and buttercream frosting pipped on to match her tie-dye shirt she wore that day. It was all a big hit!!!
