TweetThe view from my Hyatt Regency Chicago room – simply gorgeous! I spent last weekend in the Windy City, learning all about the business of blogging at Bloggy Bootcamp: Brand Edition. It skipped over the basics and dove into real, honest to goodness information about working with brands, PR reps, how to make money...

Tweet Does this happen to you – you open up a can of pumpkin, bake something with it, and then end up with a little leftover? Every time I bake with pumpkin, I seem to have a little bit left. Sometimes it’s a few tablespoons from a 15-oz. can, sometimes it’s much more from one...

Tweet Happy National Pumpkin Day! I’ve posted a lot of pumpkin recipes lately (doughnuts, cookies, cupcakes, and creamer to name a few), but I can’t resist this quintessential fall flavor. What better way to celebrate its day than with some delicious cookies? When I was working on finding the right balance of spices for my homemade pumpkin pie spice,...

Tweet How do you take your coffee? I love mine with a little cream and sugar. There are tons of flavored creamers in yummy flavors like pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha, but most have some questionable, unpronounceable ingredients. Instead I usually opt for plain old half and half or milk, but every once in...

Tweet I’ve made my fair share of amazing cupcakes. As we all know, frosting is the best part of a cupcake*, and I have fallen in love with several over the years. (Nutella buttercream, salted caramel frosting, and vanilla bean buttercream to name just a few.) However, this frosting may trump them all. It’s a buttercream that...

Tweet Today I’m guest blogging over at Best Friends for Frosting, a blog about all things dessert. BFFF asked me to share my top 5 favorite bakeries. This sugar fiend was more than happy to share some go-to sweet spots, although it was tough to pick only 5 favorites! See my guest post to read...

Tweet When was the last time you looked through your spices? You know those barely used bottles that pile up in the back of the cabinet, long forgotten? Go look – I bet one of those is pumpkin pie spice. And it’s probably 2 years past its expiration date. That’s what I discovered recently...

Tweet I’ve made a lot of pumpkin and other fall themed desserts recently, but I haven’t done anything yet this year for Halloween, which is coming up in a few weeks. Not too long ago, I showed you how to make personalized cupcake wrappers and how to make fortune cupcake wrappers. What better day than...

Tweet Since I’m stuck on my butt while my sprained ankle heals, I’m out of the kitchen (for now). Instead I’ve been spending a lot of time watching Mad Men and hanging out on Pinterest. I’ve been pretty obsessed with fall recipes lately, so I started a fall recipe board. I pinned 70+ recipes...

Tweet Guys, I’m not what you’d call…very coordinated. Usually this means a spilled glass of water (or wine…). Last week, it meant a sprained ankle. I landed wrong on my foot while I was working out and twisted it badly. Luckily nothing is broken, but I’m stuck on crutches for now, and I’m not...
