Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Hi Everyone! I’m still posting items from the recent parties. I created Marshmallow Pops as party favors and they were SO cute. The photo does not do it justice. But with everything going on, I just didn’t have time to set up the pops with a really cute backdrop. Please forgive me. Instead, here is …
Yep, you can make fondant at home! I wanted a few butterflies on the Vanilla Cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party. I didn’t want to buy the commercial stuff because it tastes gross and I only wanted about 15 or so butterflies – not an entire cake. You could also use this recipe for edible play-doh, …
Ever since Billy Reece from Billy’s went on Martha Stewart’s show the cupcake world has been baking up these delicious treats. For my daughter’s first birthday I wanted to keep it simple. I made these cupcakes with the following recipe and they probably are the best I’ve ever tasted. They really did taste like they …
No, not that kind of turtle! 🙂 This is turtle cake like the kind you eat that contain chocolate, pecans and caramels. For as long as I can remember, mom loved candy turtles. The ones in the red and white striped box. So, when I threw her a 60th birthday party in conjunction with my …
Like I said previously, I had a few desserts to make for our block party this Saturday. It turned out great!

They …
The salty and sweet combination is great; hence, the popularity of “salted caramel” and “chocolate peanut butter” flavors. Here is a cookie that combines pretzels, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. The cookie is something different, but we all agreed it is a keeper. Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies yield 24 1 1/2 cups AP flour …
These are my favorite chocolate chocolate chip cookie. You can even mix the fillings up a bit and include peanut butter chips instead of Oreos, or use more chocolate chips! Or use dark chocolate cocoa instead of regular cocoa. I love my cookies chewy and this one when baked per the directions below makes a …
Apologies for the lack of salmon on the plate, but this meal was eaten up so quickly I barely got this photo in at all. I’ve had BBQ salmon at several restaurants and really enjoy it and the health benefits of salmon as well. This recipe tasted just like I ordered it at a restaurant. …
This is a brownie base with crushed oreos folded in and then topped with vanilla frosting. One person commented “this is the best brownie I’ve ever tasted!”. Be sure NOT to overbake the brownie. Brownies: 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped 3/4 cup butter 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ¼ …
This week I have a church potluck, small church group, mom’s potluck and a block party to attend and guess who is baking?? Yeah, lots of new desserts this week including Oreo Brownies, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars, Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes, Apple Hand Pies (should be interesting!), Mini Cheesecakes and Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars. That’s …
