Baking...With a Slice of Life
If you love almond, these Almond Cupcakes are for you! Filled with almonds, the cupcakes are topped with a caramel frosting that tastes like fudge! I just did something I never thought I’d do: I called the American Girl Store in LA and asked if I could schedule an appointment for a doll to get [...]
These Triple Coconut Cupcakes are perfect for the major coconut lover! Coconut flavor explodes in the cake, the filling, and the frosting! I’ve never been much of a fashionista. I don’t understand how to be adventurous in clothing and how things match. I’m that girl who goes to Old Navy and buys four of the [...]
This post is sponsored by Minted.com. There are so many Chocolate Cupcake recipes out there…but these are seriously the BEST Chocolate Cupcakes I’ve ever tasted. The frosting will knock your socks off…so be prepared! Reasons I love internet shopping: “Prices” seem inconsequential. If it’s on the internet and you use a credit card, that means [...]
Having a Rockstar Party? Or does your child just love singing and microphones? Make them some Microphone Cake Pops and they’ll love to sing with their dessert! Yesterday in the car, after a parking lot scolding session, Jordan made a nasty imitating face of me when she thought I wasn’t looking. My first thought was, [...]
Well hellllloooo, cutest dessert ever. Banana Split Cupcakes: a banana split masquerading as a cupcake! Now that I’m re-obsessed with all things Twilight (I’m on Eclipse for the gazillionth time) I’m seeing parallels in life pretty much everywhere. {I’m also dreaming about Bella and Edward again. And pining over this shirt.} When my cat is [...]
Things that I find magical: Unicorns (they DO exist) Love Snagging the first parking spot in the Walmart Parking lot. (If that’s not magical, I don’t know what is.) When Jordan says something that is so her dad, and I realize she has his wit. (The female Phil, anyone?) Getting to meet blogging friends in [...]
By now you’re caught up on Top Chef, right? If not…spoiler alert! I am the queen of being behind on TV. My husband travels a lot so we get way behind on our shows. (For example I have 8 Hawaii 5-O’s to watch.) This past week the cheftestants had a really funny quickfire challenge: all [...]
I have a confession to make: these cupcakes were almost purchased from the store instead of made by me. Let me rewind. Here’s the story: I’m kind of a yes-mom. Can you take my kid home from school? Yes, no problem! Can you be the food chair of Bingo night? Sure, why not? Can you [...]
Thursday is a big day for Crazy for Crust. It’s her birthday! Tomorrow my little piece of the internet turns 2. So I made her some cupcake pies to celebrate. I really cannot believe I’ve been doing this for 2 years. {Really, I count it at about a year and a half…because for the first [...]
So, school starts next week. {Yay!} I love so many things about the start of a new school year. I love that twinge in my belly…the newness. Everyone says Spring is the rebirth…but for me I feel like I start anew every September. And, even though I have not personally attended classes or taught for [...]
Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
