Minnie Mouse Fondant Cake

For my baby sister’s third birthday, my mom and I set out to work with fondant to create her Minnie Mouse Bow-tique birthday cake. Using Pinterest, we came up with some ideas and decided to create a Minnie cake and a Mickey cake.

Banana ‘Cookie’ Bars

Hello! The other day I was expecting company, so I decided it would only be right if I baked some sort of good. Of course, my first idea was my quick and delicious cookie bars. I begin to start the recipe and preheat the oven when I realize, we are out of butter. Of course, cookie bars cannot be made without butter, can they? So I decided to try. I used only banana instead of the butter and continued making the recipe. Not sure what to expect, when this beauty of a cake-y cookie came out, I was delighted. No one could stop eating these, and it’s probably less than half the fat my cookie bars are. Of course, that likely won’t stop me from making either again.

Here is the cookie bar recipe copied and pasted and changed slightly to be banana ‘cookie’ bars. 🙂

Leftover Frosting Cookies

Hello! Beautiful day out when you have leftover frosting. There is just so much to do with it.. Eat it straight, have an excuse to bake a cake, mix it into a variety of things… Or you know, bake some frosting cookies.

Egg-less Crepes

🙂 This is the egg-less version of my Dexter-themed strawberry crepes. I hope you enjoy.

Dexter-themed Strawberry Crepes

Hello! How has your Mother’s day been going? This morning I made a Dexter-themed Mother’s day brunch. Each year for Mother’s day I have a fandom theme. Previously I’ve done Nightmare Before Christmas and even Alice in Wonderland, but this year I chose to do Dexter. For those of you who have no idea what Dexter is, it is a brilliant TV show about a serial killer killing other serial killers. I highly recommend it. Anyhow, each year I make a menu and my mother picks exactly what she feels like off the menu and I make it for her.

Leftover Cake French Toast

While making regular french toast I may have made chocolate cake french toast….  It was beyond delicious. I’m talking about mouth orgasms. The beautiful crispiness yet softness of the chocolate cake (my recipe found here) paired with the beautiful cinnamon was gorgeous. It was in total, brilliant.

French Toast

Hello! How have you been?

It’s been crazy here. It’s finals in school and they are working us to death… I cannot believe I found time to post this, let alone cook anything for this post. 🙂

I decided I’d cook something quick, so I made french toast for myself and my family. The brilliant part of french toast is you can take the bread you want to use and some cookie cutters and cut shapes to make french toast out of. This morning I decided to make my siblings heart-shaped french toast.

Easy Chocolate Cake

I have been having far too much fun baking. From baked pancakes to pretty chocolate cake, I have been spending most of my time baking. Today I made chocolate cake. The cake made the entire house smell so chocolate-y… It was fantastic. The only change I’d make to this would be to add chocolate chips for the full-chocolate experience… But that’s just me.

Cookie Bars

Hello everyone! How has your weekend been? My weekend is flying by. Yesterday my family asked me to make dessert because we were having company over, so I decided on cookie bars. I could have sworn it was only 12 when I had tied my TARDIS apron and was ready to bake them but no… It was already 3. Do I just take random naps and not remember them? It’s starting to seem that way…

Okay. Back to the recipe… This recipe is a simple sugar cookie recipe turned into cookie bars. The recipe is not quite mine, I got it from Pillsbury and slightly altered it. Original recipe can be found here.

Accidental Banana Bread

Honestly, I wasn’t trying to make banana bread. It just kind of happened. It was pretty late at night (or I perhaps should say it was pretty early in the morning) and I decided it would be brilliant to use that nearly rotten banana to make a banana treat. So I took out my ingredients and set to work, hoping to make up my own recipe for banana blondies. So did not work. Looking back, I can see exactly why it didn’t work… but I was confused when it was nearing 2 or 3 am and I pulled out a pan of banana bread rather than those banana blondies my taste buds had been itching to try. All well. I may have created my own delicious banana bread in my half awake state… Already, it’s nearly gone and it’s been less then a day.
