Bakery Boxes!
I can’t really think of anything cuter than these pink bakery boxes. I think they are simply adorable! They aren’t the exact size that I wanted, but I think they’re so cute that I’m going to use them anyway. Soon I’ll have a perfect logo and it’ll be right there on the top..
Test Kitchen: Fruit and Spice Cupcakes

Cupcake Love: What’s Your Favorite?
So I’m thinking about starting a business. A cupcake bakery, actually. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but I did a little cupcake brainstorming. Okay, actually, a lot of cupcake brainstorming. I came up with tons of variations, some have been done, some are new, some are regional. Please comment with any feedback on the names […]
Tuesdays with Dorie: World Peace Cookies
I truly believe these cookies could bring world peace. Dorie is not kidding with this title! The secret deliciousness comes from this trifecta (in my opinion): the sea salt, the chocolate chunks and the butter. They combine, along with a few other tasty ingredients, to create a melt-in-your-mouth, sweet-yet-salty, perfectly textured treat. I don’t know […]
