I have been hearing and reading about cake balls for quite some time now. Bakerella has made it her life’s work to create beautiful cake pop designs out of these little dessert balls. (Please check out her work.) This past week I borrowed Bakerella’s new Cake Pops from the library, and I knew I had to give […]
Spiced Apple Cake
I couldn’t resist this delicious recipe from Joy the Baker when considering what to contribute to our church potluck. It was perfect. Apples. Spice. and Cake. My favorite things. And who can resist a pretty bundt cake. *Almost* too adorable to eat. When I finally got to grab a fork I have to say, I […]
Strawberry Shortcakes
I couldn’t believe I had never made shortcakes. It is possible that I had utilized the convenient “baking mix” (aka Bisquick) for this task, but even that is uncertain.

HERSHEY’S “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake
oh. My. GOSH. They are NOT kidding. This cake is perfect. Perfectly chocolately. Amazingly moist. Chocolately. Not too dense not to light. Perfectly frosted. With perfectly chocolately frosting. The frosting was so good, in fact, that I might just admit to licking the bowl clean. *sigh* Amazing. I’m not sure I’ll try another chocolate cake […]

Peanut Butter Cake
To celebrate Kevin’s return from his Wisconsin RNA Society Conference as well as the youth group’s getting back together after what seemed like forever apart, I tried a new cake recipe from my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook.
