Carl’s birthday was in February, so the fact that I’m getting around to sharing the dessert from that occasion in April is a little sad, since all this time it’s been weighing on my mind how you’re all missing out on having this chocolate decadence in your lives. Obviously it wasn’t weighing too heavily, since […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
I am stuck in the vicious cycle of emptying my dishwasher just so that I can immediately fill it back up and start it again. This cycle is lousy because it means I’m not emptying my dishwasher in the morning, so dishes are piling up all day just waiting for me to give in and […]
How to make a Mickey Mouse cake without a special pan

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
This past weekend we celebrated, in true large-family style, the birthdays of my oldest nephew on my side of the family (4 already!!) and my dear hubby (age top secret ;)).
