Candy Corns, love them or hate their arrival means all of the fall and Halloween festivities are about to begin. For all of you candy corn haters do not fear , pick the decorative candy corn off the top and it’s just a plain vanilla funfetti cupcake . If you love candy corns check out my Autumn M&M Snack Mix .To make these cute festive cupcakes the only special ingredient that you need is the candy corn sprinkles. These are just the yellow , orange and white sprinkles mixed in one jar and they call them candy corn sprinkles. When all the Halloween decorations start hitting the shelves these are fairly easy to find. I found mine at Hobby Lobby but I have seen them at Wal-Mart and even some Dollar Stores. If all else fails search the internet , Amazon as just about everything.

Maple Banana Cake

August 20, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Do you ever have over ripe bananas and don’t want those babies to go to waste? This is how this Maple Banana Cake was born , I had some bananas I did not want to toss out. Plus ,this has a little bit of a fall feel with the maple flavor. I’ll be honest here, it is August in southern Louisiana and I am TIRED of the heat index being over a 100 degrees. I didn’t go full fall but just a little touch and hoping for cooler weather . If you have bananas that need to used a simpler recipe is my Apple Butter Banana Bread.

Cherry Amaretto Bundt Cake

July 21, 2019 by Debbie 17 Comments

I don’t know about the rest of you but there is nothing better than cold fresh cherries on a hot summer day. Where I live we only have fresh cherries available for a short time so I have to take advantage of them while they are in season. I love the taste of sweet cherries mixed with the almond flavor of amaretto . Having an abundance of fresh cherries and loving the flavor combination this Cherry Amaretto Bundt Cake was born. This cake is full of fresh cherries and have hints of the amaretto flavoring. So tender and delicious it is hard to stop eating.

Nutter Butter Football Cupcakes

September 6, 2018 by Debbie 2 Comments

These Nutter Butter Football Cupcakes are the ultimate treat for the chocolate and peanut butter lover and just in time for football season. All the guys in my house love this combination so when I was making these they were circling the kitchen and waiting . I am a frosting snob and I have passed this trait down to my youngest son , he will only eat homemade creamy peanut butter frosting . He is with me on the no canned frosting rule , making it isn’t that hard and soooo much better.

Wedding Cake Cupcake

July 18, 2018 by Debbie 1 Comment

One of my favorite cookbooks I received as a newlywed back in the late 90’s was The Cake Doctor cookbook. I learned then that boxed cake mixes can be doctored up and made remarkably delicious and this is a perfect example . Another delicious example is my Lemon Cupcakes and I even make Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls that are to die for. Once I discovered I could make a yummy cake pretty easily I then became a frosting snob. No canned frosting for me!! These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion from weddings , birthdays and showers. For these cupcakes I did a classic white frosting but that is totally up to you. Another bonus is this recipe makes around 30 average sized cupcakes.

Strawberry Delight Ice Box Cake

May 2, 2018 by Debbie 3 Comments

Nothing says summer to me more than a cool crisp strawberry dessert. This strawberry ice box cake is something I have been making for years, way before I saw poke cakes on pinterest made with pudding. I am so old that pinterest didn’t exist when I came up with this yummy dessert….gasp lol. This cake is one of those cakes that you can bring to a gathering and it will be the first thing to go. It is so delicious but you don’t have to tell anyone how easy it is.

Hummingbird Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Filling

April 5, 2018 by Debbie 2 Comments

Growing up in the south I remember the first time I had a Hummingbird cake and I have had a love affair with it since then. I typically had them with the three yummy layers and cream cheese frosting oozing from all the layers. The ripe bananas not only give this cake the basic flavor it makes this cake melt in your mouth tender. Adding pecans and pineapple just makes this cake absolutely divine. I really don’t know who claims to have come up with the wonderful cake but they are pure genius and need to be in the Southern Bakers Hall of fame, lol.
